Oasis 2.0

Comments

The Gallagher brothers don’t strike me as the type of guys who could waste a couple hours on YouTube, stalk ex-girlfriends on Facebook or even book their train tickets online.

But as is so often the case, I appear to have been proven wrong; the brothers have spent the last couple of months dedicating their evenings to building up a loyal following of fans across the internet. With Liam now spreading his musing with 26,000 followers on Twitter, answering his fans questions via YouTube and even on his own Pretty Green community, we could now, after 15 years of drudgery be approaching Oasis 2.0. Cementing their place at the vanguard of modern communication, Noel recently won an NME award for his blogging.

So what next for Britpop’s invasion of social media? Can Space reinvent themselves as the saviours of Friends Reunited or will the long-awaited Dodgy reunion happen in Second Life? One thing is for sure, @damonalbarn needs to watch his back.
