The arrival of Oasis in my life at 14 transformed my identity; the band inspired a shift from conventional style to a swaggering, working-class aesthetic.
Oasis and Blur embodied contrasting identities for me; Oasis represented attitude and rebellion while Blur felt more distant, cementing my loyalty to the gallus ethos.
Growing up in a working-class background made Oasis relatable; they embodied the boldness, daring, and recklessness that defined my identity and aspirations.
The early 90s were bleak in west Scotland, yet Oasis's music gave me hope and a connection to a way of life I wanted to emulate.
