@GregOrCreg ; You took the words right out of my mouth. This is *exactly* what the NME was like in the mid-90s, hyping up some new indie band as The Most Exciting And Fresh Thing Ever every couple of weeks. And in most cases, when you actually heard them they were some pleasant but utterly derivative and unremarkable guitar act (e.g. The Bluetones). Thing is, I remember them being criticised for that *before* I started reading it, and I still read it for a couple of years before I got bored of the obvious cycle and the build-them-up-knock-them-down thing. So, yeah.

You are right. However, they did not talk about them at first. In April 1989 I lived near Brunel University so would go and see anything on there really, walking distance, cheap doors and drinks. Stone Roses? Who are they? Went along and we saw them lug their own gear on to the small stage, about 60 people there, some from Manchester telling us who great they fookin' were. They played and blew us away. Totally. Brought the just released album ASAP. Hang on I thought, I read the music press, didn't see them featured. I had some recent back issues of NME and sure enough, buried in a short review that album. 6/10. Late in the year, after they and the Mondays were on Top Of The Pops, with the NME creaming themselves over these bands, they 're-reveived' The Stone Roses album. 10/10. Then I understood what a mate said about 'after reading the NME, I feel dirty'.

I was just a bit too young for Indie etc. when they came along - so I did read it all after the event (about three or four years after). In fairness though, I do remember the NME/Melody Maker saying how they underrated them at first... Anyway, I'm jealous of the fact that you got to see them at possibly their best moment: just before the massive shows and well before they disappeared and returned in one of the most disappointing events of my adolescence. And I wouldn't dream of seeing a reunion gig...

But I did go and see them last year in Finsbury Park, though I did go with realistic expectations which they just about met. Ian still thought learning to sing consistently would somehow dilute his artistic purity. I was lucky with Brunel and Dingwalls it's true.

Well said. Teenage Fanclub were possibly the most overrated indie band ever to secure a record deal. Even their best song 'Starsign' could be called indie by numbers. There was so much hype around the first album that I decided to buy it without borrowing a friend's first. Got halfway through the opener, put it back in the sleeve and that's where it's stayed for the last thirty years! And yet there were bands like Spirea X, The Telescopes and The Heartthrobs, real talent imo, who didn't sell nearly as much as TF. There's no accounting for taste.

This branding around indie music continued after this, particularly around the 00s. This band are dangerous... theyll change your life. Nah, its just good pop tunes... which is what we're after. Great sketch.

THIS BAND ARE IN YOUR FACE, THEYRE GOING PLACES, AND YOU WILL NEVER BE READY FOR IT... The actual band: "have some fun baby..." This is so 90's NME

I'm a fan of Teenage fan club,I've actually seen them, but at the time people made them out to be a harder sound than they actually are, there tracks used to show up Skate CD compilations, very Strange...!!

Black! Like the procession of night that leads us to the valley of despair! Aaah! I'm blind! The gulls have plucked out my eyes! ... Is that you in the buttons box, making all the noise? Or is it black?! Black! Blaaack!

what songs about life in general? songs about unemplyment on the 80s, people they knew, things they got up to, getting drunk and doing drugs. wht the fast show are doing here is what a few indie bands did in the early 90s.

Well my phone is definitely listening to my conversations, never heard of this show until my dad mentioned it to me last night. Now this morning my KZitem decides to put a 13 year old video of a show id just heard of in my feed. Coincidence... I think NOT

I think it worked out for the best without Noel. That way it's a piss-take of the whole indie/Britpop scene, without one of its most prominent members winking and being in on the joke.

Nah it's just the singer using Liams posture to show the expected attitude, otherwise its probably more about U2 or Stone Roses - Bill Bailey does a good bit about U2 that expresses a similar point
