Some felt that the band's return was an unwelcome 1990s throwback. The Independent's Ashley Davies suggested that fans worried about the Gallaghers assaulting each other should turn their attention to men assaulting women, as the era was notorious for laddishness.[8] The Guardian's Simon Price called Oasis "the most damaging pop-cultural force in recent British history".[14] The same paper's Barbara Ellen wrote on 31 August that, in four days, the band had been "castigated for everything from bad haircuts and 'football crowds' of middle aged fans in parkas and bucket hats who walk funny, to boorishness, sexism, the demise of 90s music culture, and spreading laddism like a virus".
