You’re underestimating the importance of B-sides from the 60s to the late 80s. Bands wanted to give their fans 2 great songs, not just the single + any old shite. Noel Gallagher refers to how important it was to him for Oasis to try and revive the culture of amazing B-sides....they managed a whole album of them with The Masterplan.Perhaps it was going to be used as the b-side to WTWIWF but they decided a double A-side was more befitting of the quality of the two songs. I just don't think they would deliberately write something as a b-side. Not in 1989 anyway
It’s not the ‘movement’ that britpop, punk, baggy, mod etc was though. Previously music was just a part of the social zeitgeist (probably the most important part), which included fashion, politics and everything in between. I think this ended with britpop as the music industry became so safe and homogenised, and with the way music is now consumed I just can’t see any more significant ‘movements’ occurring of any importance. Or maybe I’m too old...Grime is big with the youth
