I remember an early Blur Select magazine cover on which they declared they'd "killed baggy". I have to say that the obsession the music press has with scene-creation was utterly ludicrous when it came to showgaze, much as it had been with Madchester/baggy: "Hmm, you're from Stoke on Trent? Is that near enough to Manchester? It'll do."
