First of all, your post is a little confusing. I don't know If you're complaining that Oasis is getting fans that just want to be cool cause Oasis is hip again or you're complaining of the fact that this forum is filled with new members that are not really Oasis fans...Either way here's what I think...

I'm new in this forum, however I've been an Oasis fan for about eight years or so. I can't really comment about new people coming to this forum, right? I'm no one to say who's a real fan and who's jumping in the Oasis bandwagon, for what I know some people might think that I'm not as a big fan as they are....especially if you consider that I spend too much time in the lounge ;D...in the other hand, I've noticed that some people make questions or requests rather silly...if they're new REAL fans, I can understand that they wanna learn about the band and stuff, and what better place to do it than in an oasis forum with die-hard fans, right?...But some look like they're sucking the good will of the forum members.

About new and trendy music, I know what you mean, I'm in the same situation really...I can't get excited about new bands anymore...except for The Libertines and Coldplay, which I know for a fact you hate both of them with a passion. Fine, to each its own.....But you have to understand that music works that way, if new kids are buying Oasis because the whole ''they're back'' campaign, it's pretty much the same reason they were popular in the first place...they had the ''rock n roll saviours'' campaign...everybody loved them and they told you that you must love them too...then they got tired of them and people turned their backs...the ones left were the real fans...and those are the responsible that Oasis is still around...

Luckily, of all these new fans, some will remain loyal...and the opportunists will go for the next big thing in no time...that's just the way it is...

I guess what I tried to say (in a very messy way) is that not all of the new fans are fakers, some will stay as soon as they discover all they've missed so far.......and the others....well, fuck 'em for what I care...

That felt pretty good...

this is probably just a misconception but are you, s00, reckoning "i dont want my little band to have more fans because theyre not indie or die-hard or not interested in the band itself but just in the music" ??

if so i cannot agree. firstly, oasis deserved to be one of the biggest bands in the world just cos their music is .. i mean no further comment necessary but they arent even a hard working band in terms of promotion, so worrying that they may become another U2 is pointless.
to me it's just a generation of youngsters being fed up with plastic pop and shit US-rock (no doubt, shisdem of a down etc) so they turn to whats real and really good...apparently oasis is..

i see this "movement", particularly in europe, since heathen chemistry which was tho it's widely criticized by definitely-maybe-above-all-dipshits a fine album, as anthemic as oasis should sound plus some experimental stuff..
whether we like it or not oasis are still important and can produce an important album at least every once in a while and thats why a lot of indie groups and fans like them

you sure, that would of made you 6!! at the release of DM

started learn the ways of oasis early then i like it

Is this thread about age BTW? I'm turning 31 next month, BTW.

Happy bithday!

I'm 18 and started liking them when i first saw the roll with it video premier on MTV on a summer afternoon in 1995.

I am old enough to remember what it was like when Born In The USA came out... all these teeny boppers came out of the woodwork saying, "oh, like he's sooo rad", imagine, at 35 years old he was every teen girl's dream! lol... they never heard Born To Run or Hungry Heart before and they were calling themselves real fans... I bet that if the average teen girl of 1985 heard the song Born To Run she'd probably say "who's that old fart singing that?? Probably someone my dad likes to listen to" LOL

Yeah. We've all been there. Welcome all.

man its senseless to worry about how others perceive or react to "your" band. especially if "your" band is named oasis. you can be sure you'll run into thousands of naysayers that you can never hope to convert, along with thousands of tailgating bums that will appear with every release (sometimes more than others as we will probably see with DBTT) enjoy the music (thats what its really about anyways, innit?), and have a good laugh at all the predictable bullshit once in a while along the way.
trust me you'll save a lot of hair and breath this way.

i actually just found this yesterday and read it right before this post. maybe that fueled my anger about that one vagina on here. i talked to this bird bout hair and crap and the scene and drugs and tits etc. before i was waken up.
i believe it fits in here so here ya go

last entry

hello indie fans! that's why you're here no doubt. you may have just found this website after doing a search for 'indie girl' on google, or you might be a return visitor curious to know where i've been these past nearly-6-months. well, i've been on a journey. a journey of discovery... and now brothers and sisters, i'm here to show you the light, to show you were you've been going wrong, and why those people rip the piss out of you every saturday night. read on...


now, just a few short months ago i began to become somewhat disenchanted with what is now widely (and wrongly) classed in the media as the 'indie' scene. i'm not talking about real indie, i'm talking about the crap clothes, crapper haircuts, lace fucking gloves and 'the' bands peddled by monthly publications such as the face, sleazenation, i-D, and so on. think of them as colostomy bags, collecting all the refuse and chanel-scented shit that no-one would care or want to discover on their own.

anyway, flicking through one of these magazines, i began to see a trend. well, not so much 'trend', more a media disease. front to back, there was nothing but stories on stuck up middle class kids competing with each other to see who can look most faux-fucked-up, sticking a weak, pale, useless, and utterly forgettable finger up at the establishment. it was just nothing. it's never to be remembered. there's no substance, no thought, no new ideas and sparse talent gone into making the bastardised-indieness that is now the 'the' scene.

am i bitter? hell yeah, i'm bitter! they took away every ounce of coolness and credibility that was once the life-blood of guitar music scene. i know this all too well because i was sucked into it, for a good 2 years. deep into the bowels of the filthy white-middle-class-teenager infected excuse for a 'scene' that it is.

it's pretentious beyond belief, which would be alright if it was just saying something... punk for example was enormously pretentious, but at least it had something to be pretentious about. it was new, it had impact, it was shocking. this scene today, whatever it may be called, is mopey, stuck up, half-assed, and incessantly dull.

so brothers and sisters, let me tell you, that is not the path to take. that path leads to 80's fashion, ironic hair and media arse-lickery. don't believe everything they say like i did! i'm not one of them now. i'm not a blonde-and-black-hair sporting bint any more. ah how happy i am to be free! now i can see it from the outside, i can see the absurdness of it all. the least i can do is try to help more people out of it, you think getting off heroin sounds hard? pff...

well there we go, i rambled a bit but the whole purpose of the entry was really to crap on the scene style mags. i just thought i'd let everyone know where i've been aswell... what a fantabulous journey it was! will i blog again? probably not, at least not on here. however long i've had this thing is too long for me, and probably all of you too. just the domain name makes me cringe... i can't apologise enough for past blog entries over the last couple of years. it could almost be a spoof couldn't it?


goodbye to all my loyal visitors, feel good! i'm off now to live a long and happy life, safe in the knowledge that i've cleased myself of all past fashion, writing, and music sins. remember, if anyone asks you if you're into the scene and like the libertines, just tell them to fuck off. bollocks and fuck off.

No need to worry. As much as we love the band, it's probably cooler to like Sigue Sigue Sputnik than Oasis.

thanks for the long post and giving me the benefit og the dount, finally..evryone.
ya know i live in the states myself. been living in different other countries where they dont get any exposure and all that and at the end of the day there really are more important things to worry about really.
i once got really caught up in all this crap and lived my life by it and made some bad, fast decisions because of it. it was an experience ya know. when it comes down to the cheese all i dont agree with are fakers. i fuckin dropped out of school because of oasis, i did lots of other things that totally changed my life because of oasis. i fucked alot of birds because of oasis, ya know, its all what you make out of it, when it comes down to it you only have yourself to answer to. being a fake fuck only puts yourself in a bad position. just be fuckin real. i dont get people who act thats all and im a ramblin drunk vagina i know and i dont make sense 90 percent of tje time i know
and millwallpete or whatber yer called ta
