The Oasis reunion is no excuse for women just to roll with it
The IndependentMuch of the excited chatter about the Oasis reunion has focused on Noel and Liam Gallagher’s stormy relationship, about how to boost your chances of getting tickets, and whether young women who “just want to watch them play Wonderwall” deserve to be there. We’ve had fun laughing at hardcore fans’ haircuts, speculation about whether the brothers will complete the tour without assaulting each other, and amusing reminders about all their daft rhyming couplets. But ask women of a similar age what they remember of this period – specifically the laddishness of many of the band’s fans – and you’ll hear a different account of things. I’m not blaming Oasis directly, but, like a few other lad bands, they did seem to attract a heck of a lot of blokes who didn’t respect women.
