Oasis are back. So why all the hatred?

Last week marked the 30th anniversary of Oasis’s lauded debut album, Definitely Maybe. It’s 29 years since the Oasis/Blur chart battle, which Blur won with Country House; 28 years since Oasis played to the 250,000-strong crowd at Knebworth; 15 years since Oasis split up after a series of characteristically volcanic rows between the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam. Since then, there have been marriages, children, divorces, and solo projects, including Noel’s High Flying Birds. Liam in solo form is proving highly popular with Gen Z, as indeed are Oasis, more of which anon.
