Dua Lipa said that 90s bands like Oasis and Blur‘s behaviour were “obnoxious”.
The pop star admitted she’s taken inspiration from the Britpop icons for her “raw” new album
But Dua Lipa also admitted that they had to be toxic to not be labelled boring and that she hasn’t met any of the key figures of the time.
“I haven’t had any encounters with them, actually,”.
“Sometimes you have to separate the art from the person.… It’s more like the music element, the aspect of it that I’m really connected to. The way that acted, the things that they’ve done, they’re obnoxious for sure. That’s their whole thing.”
“There’s so much toxicity in the way people wanted their artists or their musicians,” she mused.
“If they weren’t like that, they would’ve been seen as boring, and I think that’s such a bad way to see things.”
