The Guardian launches ‘britcore’

[egb_hibs]

Possibly stung by the backlash towards its snobbishness towards the Oasis reunion, the worker’s tribune has launched a list of ‘100 experiences that define and unite modern Britons’

The rise of Britishcore: 100 experiences that define and unite modern Britons

Forget the pomp and pageantry. As people worldwide are now discovering, the UK was built on crisp sarnies, trips to B&Q and that age-old question: Corrie or EastEnders?

www.theguardian.com

When my son was a very young he coined an evocative expression from his baby seat in the car as I was subjecting him to 15 minute two chord krautrock tracks; ‘this makes my hands fall off’

This article make my hands fall off.

Guardian 'Britishcore' list captures UK's imperial decline

Modern Britain is functionally a vassal state of her erstwhile colony, the United States. Stagnant, sclerotic, and ideologically schizophrenic, its downwardly-mobile middle class has set out to square the circle of grandiose self-image and declinist reality by reimagining the “stiff upper lip”...

This is both trivial and not trivial; this is a ‘humorous’ version of how the plums that rule us, see us. It’s also white as fuck and somewhat ignoring of many modern Britons.

 

[Bangkokhibby]

As stereotypes go, the list, as least the ones I understand have nailed it.

The critic piece made my hands fall off.
Please thank your son for giving me the most ridiculous, nonsensical term which made me laugh out loud and I'll use regularly

Chapeau to young EGB for coming out with a statement infinitely more entertaining than that dross in your first link. Only one of them stirs any emotion or hint of recognition and that's; 2. Encouraging the entire pub to erupt into cheers when someone smashes a glass. - and my mate annoyingly shouts "Rangers" every time a glass is dropped and smashes behind the bar.

A bit of overthinking on the part of Unherd here?

It's a filler listicle based off a tiktok trend. The Guardian didn't invent #britishcore

I like the phrase about aping a working class that they don't understand and secretly despise. That's the modern Grauniad in a nutshell.

I got down to reading about five of them, what a pile of shi!te. It 100% reminded me of the guff articles in local rags. 'Twenty reasons you know you're from Edinburgh' type of thing.

Anybody noticed this obsession on counting things nowadays? Three reasons Hibs need a new stiker. Four reasons you need to flush the lavvy and so on.

If somebody can give me just one reason to read articles like this one I'll declare it a major triumph.

There is no reason Stu. It's just a cheap, lazy substitute for proper journalism. Pretty much par for the course for the Grauniad under Kath Viner. Here's why...

Gave the list a quick scan.
Pile of shite is an accurate description.

I may well refer to Magaluf as Shagaluf..... the rest of the list made little sense to me.

I got about 10 items into the list before giving up The phrase 'hollibobs' was the final straw. They should probably call it 'EssexCore' as the list appears to be compiled from watching episodes of TOWIE and treating it as a documentary. Just needed the Turkey teeth and French Bulldog for a full house.


The other article was word-salad to the point of being gibberish. I've no idea what Unherd is but I'm not sure employing Russell Brand as a writer is such a great idea.

I have no idea what a French Bulldog is, although a quick google tells me its a dug. Go figure.

Never seen Men In Black?

That's a pug although it also fills the brief of 'expensive designer dog with shallow genepool and resulting health issues'.

My mate shouts, “A big round of applause for the juggler!”

Not understanding Taco Bell or American Football were the only 2 I got.

Utterly bemused by that article.
I’m guessing there is supposed to be an element of humour in that. Reeks of posh *&*^ let loose with a pen.
Would be interesting to see the author talk thru that in the Harp n Castle on a Saturday night.

Doubt you will.
The H&C is more a local pub than a hangout for tourists.

This is the kind of thing said by people who pretend they’re into football.

As if any match going fan old than 9yo gives a fck
