The smartest popstars never allow themselves to be distracted by legacy or longevity; the best pop can only hope to be relevant in the future if has first meant something in the moment it was created. In one early interview Supergrass, whose earliest music was a perfectly articulated celebration of the nihilism of youth, took a smart stance on their own future: “We’re aware we could disappear overnight,” Gaz decided. As for success? “If it’s going to happen, it’ll happen.”
And somehow it did happen, to the tune of millions of album and single sales, hundreds of gigs, blanket critical acclaim and, yes, a legacy that exists purely because nobody was trying to create one. In 2021, this legacy continues. Following a hugely successful comeback tour in 2019, Supergrass are back once more and are set to headline O2 Academy Brixton on Monday 20th December.
While few among us would claim to be young any more, thanks to Supergrass, we can still feel alright.
