For reasons that remain confusing and extremely rude, Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher felt the need to criticize Harry Styles in a new interview (via Rolling Stone), claiming that he didn’t write his new single “As It Was.”
“You’re not telling me Harry Styles is currently in a room somewhere writing a song,” Noel said. “I can assure you he’s not got an acoustic guitar out trying to write a middle eight for something.”
Noel then felt the need to say Harry isn’t a “real” musician because he was discovered on The X Factor.
He also added this: “With any joy, he’ll be surrounded by a lot of girls.”
I just. 😐
Harry has actually spoken out against shitty comments just like this, defending his largely female fan base. Back in 2017 he told Rolling Stone “Who’s to say that young girls who like pop music — short for popular, right? — have worse musical taste than a 30-year-old hipster guy? That’s not up to you to say. Music is something that’s always changing. There’s no goal posts. Young girls like the Beatles. You gonna tell me they’re not serious? How can you say young girls don’t get it? They’re our future. Our future doctors, lawyers, mothers, presidents, they kind of keep the world going. Teenage-girl fans — they don’t lie. If they like you, they’re there. They don’t act ‘too cool.’ They like you, and they tell you. Which is sick.”
FYI, this isn’t the first time Noel has come for Harry. In 2017, he spoke about Harry’s song “Sign of the Times” and said “People of my age have let themselves go, they’re fat, balding idiots with fading tattoos. They sit in their garage and write shit like ‘Sign Of The Times’ for Harry Styles. Which, quite frankly, my cat could have written in about 10 minutes! My wife was falling over herself, ‘Have you heard Harry Styles’ new song? It’s like Prince’, I was like, ‘Without even hearing it, I can assure you it’s not like Prince.”
Welp. Guess we’ll just sit here and let Harry Styles Twitter™ do its thing.
