and it seems most people are talking about stuff that gets into the charts and I've never bothered with the charts since the 70s.
I'm a Rocker so I still hear lots of great new music even though it's usually regurgitated.
What do today's kids / teens make of Blur and Oasis?

Funny you say that about kids listening to stuff they see on TV. It looks like Kate Bush is gonna be number one this week after Running up that hill was on Stranger things.My kids have no interest in Blur or Oasis. I don't listen to them, they are rarely on the radio and I rarely listen to the radio. They rarely get mentioned in the YouTube channels I watch.

What Makes This Song Great? "Don't Look Back In Anger" OASIS
In this episode of What Makes This Song Great? Ep. 84 we again explore the music of OASIS featuring the song "Don't Look Back In Anger"#Oasis #DontLookBackIn...
They do like some old music Abba, ACDC and one likes 80s electronic synth stuff. I don't think they listen to much old stuff unless they've heard it in a movie like Marvel etc.
The only artists I really like these days are the Killers and George Ezra. I think Ezra is a bit of a throwback though, maybe that’s why he appeals. I have never ever got why Adele and Ed Sheeran are so revered. They completely bore me to tears.
I guess it depends what stirs you. But I agree other than one or two great songs most of their music is very similar. I think that might be why Ed is trying to other stuff.
I find a lot of chart stuff just boring. As Beato says it might because they are all the same chord progression and thus are not memorable.
That's said with streaming services and youTube is much easier to discover new music.

I have 100% respect for both of them.
Anybody who can play a single instrument to a Wembley Arena audience and hold them gets my utter respect.
I can listen to a few things by Adele and nothing by Sheeran though.
That's scary isn't it, comparing the time difference between the Beatles vs Oasis vs now! Good on you for educating your son
Which ultimately means when I try and show her my music she's no doubt going to complain it's old peoples music
Indeed I am quite middle-aged now, being nearly 44. But honestly, calling it "old peoples music" is rather sobering. Depressing even
Good man!
Every 20-30 years or so, it just goes full circle. I can listen to stuff from the 60s, 90s and now (2022).
Good shout about MJ. He was huge in the 80s and 90s and despite the Neverland controversies (inviting kids to stop over), I still enjoy his music.
Agreed. For commercial music (signed bands), I have dance and indie folders on Spotify, and then let Spotify curate more music for me based on my playlists. In the pre-Spotify days (and still now), I go onto the likes of Soundclick, Soundcloud and YouTube's royalty-free channel to download amateur music (unsigned bands).
That's nothing new. In the 90s, think of the likes of NWA, **** The Police, plus the gangsta rap saga that would become known as "East Coast vs West Coast".
Just quoting your post as I like a spot of jungle as well. Oldskool jungle from 1993-95 that is
Also quoting this as I know of Reddit but didn't know it had newsgroups for music genres, so I'll get digging. Thanks for the heads up.

Why would they? Anymore than any band from the 60's/70's/80's its just your generation that thinks its relevent mine is 70'/80's and no-one pays much attention to that other those with their memories so I don't see why yours would be any different. Oasis are middle aged blokes now so why on earth would they show any interest lol.
All teenagers think the world began yesterday so unless theres something they can relate to like ST which speaks to them in the here and now they're not interested. We were exactly the same in our time.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most of the "modern" artists listed on the OP are getting on a bit now and probably won't be relevant to the teen generation for much longer.
I think it's about 10 years of career or age 30, whatever comes first, that the cool factor kind of fades away.
In the 90s Janet Jackson was in the charts at about age 30 and I recall thinking her music was for a mature audience.
I saw Oasis live in 2004 and despite being a fan of the whole Britpop era, they were past it by then and it was more like a nostalgia fix. Their first two albums defined them and that was the time to see them live.
Same with someone like Eminem who had a few years of commercial success and at around age 30 he dropped the ball and followed Dre's path to music production.

I'm 16 currently, and I love oasis. I love britpop and I don't really enjoy today's music, I can appreciate it but it's not my thing. I feel like I really missed out on the 90s and the closest I'll get to seeing them live is tribute bands although I did see noel gallagher a month ago. I also listen to suede, the verve, the beatles, etc

My lasting memory of Brit pop Is awful generic/bland four chord guitar music and a nationwide epidemic of melts with Paul Weller haircuts. The worst genre to come out of the 90s by a mile. Just awful.
Don’t get me started on the types who would pull out an acoustic guitar at a house party and start playing wonderwall…

I grew up in this era, so many classic songs from some great groups, it seems like this kind of thing won't happen again so am grateful to I have been young to appreciate it.
Happy Mondays
Stone Roses
Charlatans
Oasis
Primal scream
Paul Weller
The Verve
Even just thinking about Oasis it's incredible just how many good songs they released, been listening to all of the above recently and my kids enjoy it too so I would say that they are still relevant and have become popular with some of the younger generation.
I've never been to a party where some "melt" tried to serenade me with wonderwall, not sure what kind of parties you went too.........

Who said anything about being serenaded ?
Every house party ever there was someone with an acoustic guitar sat in the corner playing their four chords trying to be cool. It’s as cliche as going into a guitar shop and witnessing someone play stairway to heaven badly.

Radio X is definitely a good station to listen to if you don't like the general chart music. Good mix of newer bands and older music.

This never happened to me lol, never experienced this ever but if you say there was a token indie kid with a guitar playing wonderwall at every house party you entered then so be it....

Do you take everything people say super literally ? It was a jokey comment based on a well known stereotype (token acoustic guitar guy at a house party).

I must have been going to the wrong parties! Anyway have a nice evening
