All I know is that I like them and there are a lot of pretentious people on this site.

The Blur reference was a bit of a joke, at the height of 'Britpop' in the mid-90's there was a media-fuelled 'rivalry' between the two bands, they both released singles on the same day at the height of their fame, slagged eachother off in interviews, etc.
When I was growing up all the kids had to have a favourite, you were either a Blur or an Oasis kid.
as for the indirect I think it's unfair to start calling people pretentious snobs, I'm just really into music (thanks to bands like Oasis actually) and like to talk about more than just a catchy melody, sorry for offending your tastes
