Adam points out the similarity of the main riff in Stereophonic‘s 1998 “Pick a Part That’s New” and the interlude speed up riff in Dinosaur Jr.‘s 1994 “Feel the Pain”. Check it out!
Dinosaur Jr. - "Feel the Pain" (1994)
Stereophonics - "Pick a Part That's New" (1998)
these riffs, especially the Dinosaur Jr riff, are also very similar to a guitar line that came up a few years later in a song off of Brendan Benson’s 2005 release “Spit It Out Now”. it sounds very similar to the opening riff and also at 1:59 into the song. A homage to one of the preeminent indie bands of the 90s maybe??
Great find casi! I just posted this here:

Is it just me or does anyone else notice the similarities between these songs and The Cure’s 1989 song “Pictures of You?”
