Whatever you thought of Noel Gallagher's Sun-published broadside against Prince Harry ("an effin' woke snowflake"), without it we wouldn't have this piece by music writer Neil Kulkarni. Reading between the lines, it seems as though he's not much of a fan of Oasis.
Kulkarni's as splendidly splenetic about Britpop and the mid-90s music scene ("all that coked-up reactionary twattery ... so culturally withering and lastingly damaging") as he is about Gallagher ("rock's most famous coprophage") and Oasis ("a soupy, sexless muscle-memory rock", "grisly half-informed necrophilia", "toxic mediocrity"). It's like Taylor Parkes' anniversary review of Parklife - one of my favourite bits of music commentary ever - turned up to 11.
