blur's music is interesting, well-written pop music, especially the britpop albums, of course it's also a bit cheesy but that's part of it's aesthetic, they ain't that serious most of the time. Pop doesn't get any better, you're stupid if you reject it because of a dumb meme

Not as harsh as really true.

He said American culture pushes itself into everyone else's culture. After the mid 90's though, he realised britpop in any place other then Britian was the same, and championing that made him seem like an overly patriotic asshat.

They also invariably said 'grunge is shit'. And that made everyone mad.

He didn't specifically say that grunge was shit, he just said that the whole subculture that Nirvana had spawned was awful.
This is true even now, just look at all the poser girls wearing those awful smiley nirvana shirts and writing that "nobody dies a virgin, life fucks us all" quote on the walls of their rooms
