Noel Gallagher Says New Bands Are Scared Of Social Media

Noel Gallagher has said that new bands are "careerist" and are afraid to be outspoken because they're scared of the backlash on social media.

During a round table interview with the NME, which also included Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods and Elly Jackson of La Roux, Gallagher was asked why so many bands have so little to say.

"It's because they're s**t scared of social media! They're s**t scared of somebody killing it before it's started. One of the main differences for me is that bands these days are careerists.

"I know for a fact that nobody in Primal Scream ever thought about a career, or Oasis, or The Verve. Everybody was thinking, 'We're having a great time, this is amazing!'"
