I find No Doubt quite annoying.
Still though, while Good Charlotte is a band that many criticize for "selling out," but I really believe that it's only because they are so popular on MTV. Can you blame a band for making addicting music? I bet they could make the SAME EXACT ALBUM, and if they weren't on the radio or MTV, the same people who hate them would listen to them. Like Sum 41. A few years ago, "Fat Lip" was the cool song, then when it got voted high enough on MTV, everyone called Sum 41 sellouts.
Yeah your probably right, it's amazing how people perceptions of bands change once they thing they have "sold out."
I will say some bands def get called sellouts prematurely, and its true just cause you get on mtv doesnt mean your a sell out.
I was jking not all the bands you like jp are sell outs, but good charllotte isnt a sell out its just that thier music has gotten worse each albumn. I used to like them.
That last song they released was a cheesy 80s remake with goth piano.
And what band wears thier own tshirts and clothing line real lame real lame.
You become a sellout when you base your music on a marketing startegy and thats when it becomes about the money and not the music anymore, ie you are a cooperate sellout.
If good charlotte is a sellout i dont know but they are suspect.
