Running off to join ISIS is the same as getting into Britpop in the 90s.

Guess which newspaper has published this? I'll give you a second...

Apparently, you're particularly bad if you "cribbed up on Shine compilations and flicked through NME". Now, I was one of those that did this, but - and i'm pretty confident when I say this - listening to Disco Down by Shed 7 didn't *actually* make me want to burn a disco down, despite what the lyrics might suggest.

The article quite fairly asks "do you actually remember what it was like to be 15?". Yes, and it didn't involve beheadings.

(Also, whilst the Guardian are in full nutjob mode, they've also posted an article which our own Sean Adams would be proud to see published on DiS: 'Is new music killing the record industry?'. http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/feb/24/is-new-music-killing-music-industry)

Hmm, interesting...
