Worst Thing In This Daily Telegraph "10 ways Britpop changed modern manhood" Article

As good candidates they all are, and as daft as some are, it has to be 9. It made us culturally cleverer.
This was the era of Oasis talking about never having read a book.

"3. It wasn’t to be sniffed at" for wretched coke-punnery, although lol at this fool thinking that the Doc Marten revival had anything to do with Britpop.

This makes me feel completely fucking stabby.

Most of the time I don't see what you guys are getting outraged about in the whole "bad music journalism" stakes but this really makes me want to kill someone.

Britpop was unadulterated waste and still I feel this cunt is doing it down

i can't get past 9; the idea that being aware of bowie and the who 'made young men smarter' is just...

smart ppl know about stuff so knowing that some stuff exists makes u smart

duh

my favorite phrase here is "poncey bottled beers"

It's basic science xp

Coke’s never really fallen out of fashion since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Look at this bad boy! Wallop! Pukka!” *"Blood Sausage!" Etc."J Oliver's severed cock injected with molten soap"

Literally all these thing are terrible except for live music, which I'm pretty sure Nirvana at Reading would have some quibbles about

xp severed manhood & shriveled listicles itt

Many would complain that britpop and its after effects ruined festivals like Glastonbury and it attracted laddish beer monsters to gigs and how it was all better in ye olde days

that cokepun doesn't even make any sense. apparently it WAS to be sniffed at.

Hardest poll ever

Dress-sense one is very wrong. Football terrace fashion had been in full swing for a at least a decade by this point. Whether or not you prefer a pastel-shade Pringle sweater over an "Adidas trackie top", burgundy sta-press over cords or desert boots over patent leather slip-ons with a gilt buckle is pretty much down to individual taste.

Voting "it made football cool again" because as a US citizen, I'm not sure football has ever been uncool in the UK.

It actually was "uncool" with the non-working classes for a long time but the new stadiums and big signings due to tv money had a bigger effect. Now its too expensive to go to for most people.

10. Easy

Yes mother, Friday night, it's all gonna kick off

Long bad Wednesday :( #RIPBobHoskins

that article has a lot of meme which must be kept alive IMO

“wahey, boobz and bantz!” kind of laddishess.

what is wahey and bantz?

Britpop is often stereotyped as lumpenly thuggish but it made young men smarter too. We were inspired to explore its musical influences: not just the Beatles but The Who, The Kinks, Bowie, The Byrds, The Jam, Sex Pistols and Small Faces.

the 'not just' here is probably the best bit of the whole thing

LOL yeah digging deep there.

Sex Pistols were a side project of the bass player for Rich Kids iirc

7. It made boys be boys

This article was one of the worst I've read. Cant believe someone got paid for writing it.

And I don't know WHY it even got written. If it had been a lads mag or something I'd understand, but the torygraph?

I don’t mean that tedious “wahey, boobz and bantz!” kind of laddishess oh wait that's exactly what I mean never mind.

It's just a bit of bantz.

i'm actually in a state of shock this is so terrible

the same author wrote an execrable "why beards are the new penises" piece in shortlist yesterday. gotta be a contender for worst writer in britain right now

really, what is "wahey"?

It's a kind of all-purpose rousing cheer, roughly equivalent to "Here we go!"

It's a Chris Evans thing, I think.

"Wahey" is way, way older than Chris Evans. We were reading it in the Beano back in the 70s.

wait a min, what??? Link please?

it has overtones of leering crepeyness in an on the buses way too though

really, what is "wahey"?

Man flashes Queen, shouts "wahey!"

Facial foliage isn’t the sole preserve of hipsters any more. The beard revival might have started in Brooklyn and east London – where social-media strategists, web designers, barmen and baristas like to pretend they’re alt-folk musicians or artisan lumberjacks, teaming a well-groomed beard with tweed, tattoos and a fixie – but now beards are mainstream. Beards have gone commercial. They’re playing arenas and doing dodgy ads.

Everyone’s got one. Even some of the women.

Christ this is one of the most inane things I've ever read.

Voting #10. I know I never went down the pub pre-Britpop.

this wastemans twitter feed is the most abject shit imaginable, nexus of aging landfill media cunts retweeting each others tryhand bantz about the worthless british culture of their youth, every single one of them is human faeces

^^^^^^

nothing but contempt and immense disapproval of everyone i know who tacitly approves of that shit

On the 'ead!

Fancy a ruby? Man on!

Are we gannin down the pub or wot?

jfc stfu with this

kmt

Hang on, I've only just realised this is a Daily Telegraph article which tacitly endorses cocaine.

John Niven is the worst of these cocks, there's this poisonous mix of casual racism and sub-Frankie Boyle shit whenever he's called out on it.

wallop! etc.

ReferEEE!

'Avin it LARRRGE

SHUT THE FUCK UP EVERYONE

fuckinell you're literally as bad as the cunt who wrote this

Yeah, shut up with the top bantz everyone.

lol lex if you don't want to deal with people having some fun ripping on this loser why the FUCK did you click on this thread?

lex's intriguing ILX style strikes again

i'm all for seeing everyone rip on him but this isn't that

IMITATION IS NOT SATIRE

He Wants to "deal with" etc.

xpost in some cases it is.

actually in quite a few cases, it is.

in fact i'd like to see an example of satire which has no grounding in imitation what so ever.

double bubble!

lex in terms of people sarcastically talking like this guy ITT thread would it be fair you say that you are NOT, in fact, mad fer it, parklife etc?

I'm gonna whack my ol' man right up 'is alley. Oi oi!

pretending to hate the bants = classic m8

Gertcha!

Fackin love Chas n Dave, fackin legends

i literally have no idea what the fuck you ppl are talking about

and

i'm mad fer it tbh

i'm listening to sleaford mods now and i love it but i understand less than 50 percent of what this tosser is on about

Cool it mat, we're only havin a laugh mate. It's just a laugh mate.

Sleaford Mods are kind of the antithesis of this crap.

yes

Earl Brutus, the ghosts at the Britpop feast

Sleaford Mods are kind of the antithesis of this crap.

oh i know! they rule!

just they drop a lot of references and slang i don't know.

is not understanding references and slang such a big deal for you? when i hear US slang in rap songs i get over it or perhaps learn something, rather than going OH LOL AMERICANS ARE SO WACKY AND WEIRD

no. it's not actually, lex, and i resent your use of "LOL" and all caps.

I don't understand most lyrics tbf

fair dinkum

American tech, Italian food, and Scandi design

Could be anyone in the world yes?

dog latin appears to be auditioning for Republica on this thread

he seems to be ready to go!
