What I mean is that there have been strong self-celebratory elements in a lot of indie bands from the UK, specifically in England, since the late 80's (see Stone Roses etc), but Oasis are a kind of benchmark in that the gap between words and resulting quality got amplified in the media to ridiculous extent with their rise, and ultimately seemed to have had a detrimental influence on a lot of bands in this country. The obsession with celebrity, basically. And the poor quality on offer.
