What do today's kids / teens make of Blur and Oasis?

The 90's was drum and bass not Blur and Oasis, couldn't stand them at the time.

E: Of that ilk only the Stone Roses count for me but putting them in the same category is a bit of an insult to them.

E: E: Of course the 90's were also Nirvana/Foo Fighters/Prodigy...

E: E: Oh and of course deep dish house music for those post club 2-7am chill down hours :)

E: E: E: Blur and Oasis were a byline, there was such a variety of good music out there. :p

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

There will be plenty of small bands playing intimate venues that have music you'll like and taking a chance on unknown acts can be really rewarding if the venue has a history of playing the kind of music you like. I wanted to take my girlfriend to a gig years ago and went to see a band I had literally never heard of for £7 on a tiny stage with about 70 people. I went to watch the Wombats after at every opportunity for the next 3 years, support or headlining a gig until the gigs just became to awkward to attend whilst working (bigger more remote venues).

I saw the Verve, Blur, Suede and many others at large concerts and it was good, but the best concerts were at small venues watching small to mid sized bands amongst their genuine fans. I'm sure you'll find bands out their that fill the space of The Wombats, the Bluetones, The Super Furry Animals etc. that fill that place for me.

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.

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.

I'm 38 and this is same for me.
Absolutely love 80s stuff and listen to it a lot.

Blur and oasis? Not for me. Never has been. Just sounds too dreary

Went to an 80s silent disco. Few months ago and it was amazing.

80s for me every time!

When we were kids of the 1990s, Blur and Oasis were 2 of the biggest bands, however, we were also aware that our 1960s parents were rocking the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, the Who, Jimi Hendrix and maybe a spot of rock 'n' roll.

Yeah even though I grew up In the 90s I never liked any of this music.
I've always preferred 80s and the 2000s music. Mum used to listen to 80s stuff at home and maybe that's where it's come from.
My Spotify playlist is quite devoid of 90s actually. But packed full of 80s.

Just had a look online at 90s music and yeah, most of it I don't like and never really liked.
Obviously some stuff I liked. But the "decade defining" music? Not for me.

I have been told I have terrible music taste!

Reggae , ragga , DNB, jungle, House, techno etc were all big in the 90s.

Mainstream definitely isn't where the hip people were...

bigger than oasis I'd say.. seems like the radio stations made oasis big, not the people, even the BBC were doing drum n bass on the radio at one point


A local park is hosting a "naughty 90s" weekend and the amount of crap they play is insane... sounded like barry mannilow and wet wet wet yesterday..


On friday I heard a bit of jungle though I definitely heard

No it wasn't, it may have been to you but in general terms the 90s are not remembered for Drum and Bass, they're remembered for Britpop, Grunge with a side order of whatever dance music floated your boat. Drum and Bass was just a little slice of the dance music pie.

That doesn't mean anything, it just means that your social circle wasn't into Britpop. The 90s are definitely remembered for bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp etc and of course Nirvana, and leading into Britpop was Madchester with The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays etc which had links to the Rave scene (Hacienda et al), sure Drum and Bass had a part but it's not what the 90s are generally remembered for.

I went to Raves, House nights, Techno and Trance nights and liked Britpop, and I liked grunge and Indie. I also went to see local bands playing Blues and R and B.

The Radio Stations didn't buy the millions of records bands like Oasis sold, Radio didn't make Oasis, people did - they came along just at the right time when Dance music had been dominant for a few years, bands who played guitars was what people wanted to hear again.

As you can read, I expanded and I didn't say just D&B did I.

Whatever,I find music arguments as bad as ones about politics :cry:
