I got into them about 10 years later and loved them. I haven't listened to them much in a while but I own a tshirt that I wear often which has their name on it. Am I allowed to wear this according to VT? Change Nirvana for The Beach Boys or Neil Young, am I allowed too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt the obsession was more about them, their style/genre and being dicks and not liking each other but I thought there was better about at the time. I know many won’t agree with me because of the cultness they had with their fans but I know many will agree with me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I'm glad skinny jeans are out, but watching stuff I wore as a kid become "retro" is a painful experience. I suppose some of you old timers have been through this before. Also does this mean in 5 years we're going to have another wave of nu metal and skate punk? You're too late -- the nu-metal revival began last year lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't notice half the women who use them. But agree that a lot of women use too much of them and it doesn't look great. But then who are we to tell women what they should look like?

I just don't get why they do it. It looks hideous and more often than not, hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pub no.1 - get settled, good spot in the pub, bag a table etc.....only to leave, head to subsequent pubs where you are further down the pecking order for a seat, table or good position as the place is already quite full....and just to drink the same beer as in pub no.1 !! Am too old for all that crap. I sort of see your point. If its moving for movings sake, then I agree. However, sometimes we are on a pre-arranged pub crawl and I enjoy those as well. I like to see what different ales pubs have 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 38, to me they just had a resonation that no one has ever come close to touching - AM as a guy in his early 20s for most of their stuff would be next up but they didn't have the cultural significance I think its easy to look at what oasis aren't, they aren't the beatles or the stones or Bowie or the punk bands but that wasn't ours, oasis were ours and that's the cult and the obsession comes from, they were the first absolutely huge band that 80s kids could lay claim to and then they had this weird big because they're popular and popular because they're big thing which made them bigger than they probably had a right to be But they were era defining... And going back to my original point no one since has managed to have that same era defining impact As I type that I find it very easy to imagine nirvana are exactly the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody had them for decades and now almost everyone not only has one, but many have the SAME one. Very individual. Like piercings, getting them used to be acts of rebellion in a sense but eventually became acts of conformity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I stand here and tell my wife what to do she would be a headline and I would be an obituary. Those men that rule their wife and tell them how to act, behave and dress are the sort of men who get talked about as “he was always so quiet”. For the record my wife has masses of tattoos, she has piercings and when it takes her hair that has hues of the rainbow. Zero **** given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
