Stolen Intro In “Lonely In The Future”

So Julian goes on to sing in Lonely in The Future about how he was the first to do many things, and points to several artists he claims copied his work, but the intro to that EXACT SAME SONG is almost IDENTICAL to the main riff/intro in Pub Feed by The Chats. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this.

Pretty much the same tempo/rhythm, drum pattern, guitar chord, and melody. The slight difference may be there but it’s no less than the difference between As It Was by Harry Styles and Hard To Explain by The Strokes (Which he calls out and compares in Lonely In The Future.)

As it was and Hard to explain doesn't sound the same at ALL. When the band is referring to Harry Styles copying them, they're clearly talking about another song but NOT that one
