Noel Gallagher is blaming “Friends” and the rise of coffee shops on the fall of culture.

In a new interview, Gallagher discussed how the change of people’s spending habits and priorities has taken them away for supporting artists.

He said, “It is sitting around in sweaters drinking overpriced coffee and talking about nonsense. Since the rise of the coffee shop, culture has disappeared. People are horrified that they have to pay for music! But $20 for two coffees, oh, absolutely. I haven’t got the brain capacity to process this.”

The former Oasis guitarist is preparing to release his new album “Council Skies” on June 2nd.
