Blur, Suede, Pulp, the Manics and Slowdive have all had critically acclaimed returns in the 2020s. So UK bands are doing ok. They mainly play to their old audience for sure, but then again I was a teen in the 90s and the only one of your artists that vaguely resonated with me back then was Bowie.

In the early 2000s, a lot of people including myself referred to them as 'scenesters'. I think 'hipsters' was maybe seen as more of a US thing, but then it landed and stuck.

It was actually Craig's principle demand for returning for a fifth movie. So they painted themselves into a corner for the reboot because they couldn't move on from Craig. Ironic.

Same. Plus, Revolution In The Head also taught me that someone swears in the middle of Hey Jude, and boy have I been living off that fact for thirty years.

I saw them at Green Man last year, and they were fantastic, plus Jim Reid properly lost it with the rest of the band at one point, so it felt like some of the original spirit was still there, too.

PLUS, the whole "actually James Bond is just a codename" was the reasoning behind David Niven as an older Bond in the original non-Eon 1967 Casino Royale. And they hate that non-canon movie, so maybe that's why they're resistant to repeating that idea and giving it any retrospective credibility.

For our club night we made a "Don't be WACK listen to Fleetwood MAC" badge, precisely because it was kind of ironically subversive at the time. And we put Tusk on our first CD compilation.
