The romanticisation of the rant, the screed ready to dismiss anything contemporary as rubbish... shouldn’t be seen as a rejection of the 90s aesthetic. Jolly irreverence and cynicism are, from a certain perspective, formally indistinguishable. The idea that everything can be good is curiously isomorphic with the idea that everything is terrible.

The theme of the poem was the subjugation of English identity by “politicians” who refused to let English people be patriotic even though all the other nearby nations - “the Scottish”, “the Irish”... were permitted to. One couplet in particular stood out, and I can quote it from memory:
What about Shakespeare, Wilde and Shaw?
Nobody teaches them in school anymore.
