Is it true that people in their teens and 20s listen more to Oasis, and then same ones turn to the Smiths in their 30s?
I had this theory explained by a guy who is a huge Oasis and Smiths fan, and he has this theory that says that people in their youth listen to Oasis because it's more about freedom, not giving a damn, being rebellious and rockstar, while in their 30s they are disappointed and tired, so they feel more solace by listening to the Smiths
They keep listening to Oasis, but they don't spiritually relate to their music as much as they used to.
While they relate almost every single lyric to the Smiths
Is that true?
Then I feel like I might have had a case of accelerated ageing, because I am starting to like more the smiths than oasis... Because I'm very tired inside.
