“The rise of Britishcore” - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...eriences-that-define-and-unite-modern-britons

*shudder*

1. Umming and aahing with your partner for 10 minutes over whether to share a naan, and then just getting one each because “you only live once”.

2. Encouraging the entire pub to erupt into cheers when someone smashes a glass.

3. Flawlessly lip-syncing to: “If you see something that doesn’t look right, speak to station staff or British Transport Police. See it, say it, sorted,” on the train to Bristol Temple Meads.

etc

*cringe*

AI Podcast version here (natch).

That is possibly the worst article I have ever ever seen. Absolute bolox to the extent that I wonder if they made it shit on purpose for clickbait etc.

more like a list of common experiences for Guardianistas.

except the glass cheer, and the complaining about small prices while buying £10 beers.

89 is wrong. The slang name for Eggs Benedict is 'eggy benz'.

But I do recognise the type of person who would do/say 90% or more of that list. They've always been with us. They're the same people who used to jump up excitedly to dance to 'The Birdie Song', they name their cat 'Rambo', and they say 'time to climb the wooden hill to Bedfordshire' when they want to go to bed.

As a Guardian reader I have to say I've no idea at all what they're talking about (glass smash cheer excepted, I'll give you that). The Venn diagram intersection of Guardian readers who watch Eastenders, refer to the Panny D or go on stag does to Warsaw would be incredibly tiny.

It's just a shit bit of writing by someone who's spent ten minutes on Tiktok.

They've not even mentioned Live Laugh Love or people who own Frenchies called Luna.

I absolutely hate anyone who calls Eggs Benedict anything other than Eggs Benedict. They should be exterminated along with 'banter' and 'bantz' people.

How on earth did you make it to 89?

Anyone know what a "lanzo" is?

...so people aren't just going to post their scores then?

Which ironically would be more British than most things on that thread, claiming "I'm more British than you are".

Article should be called: "I'm a middle class millennial and everyone I know is a middle class millennial, except for my parents, who are just middle class". We'll assume that the Steve Jones he fancied, was the Welsh TV presenter, not the guitarist in the Sex Pistols or the host of ITV's 'The Pyramid Game'.

Makes you wonder what the universal Brit experiences really are though. I'm sure that NSC could do better.

1) Telling people in shocked tones that there are Christmas things in the supermarket next to Halloween stuff! (Despite this happening absolutely every year);

2) Getting the response "Shouldn't celebrate Halloween anyway. It's a Yank holiday" from anyone over 50:

3) Having absolutely no interest in tennis for 50 weeks of the year then trying to hold a conversation about it during the last week in June / first week in July;

4) Saying good morning to magpies if you see ever them on their own;

5) Wondering where Bill's mother lives and why the sky's always black over her place;

Over to you...
