| Comment | fall out boy were not really any less credible in the mid noughties (their heyday) than green day and weezer were in the mid noughties (definitely not either of their critical heydays). and i mean, green day in 2006 dressed behaved and looked exactly like, and did not sound but came pretty close to, fall out boy in the mid-noughties. i would imagine that daft goth/emo/mosher/whatever-they-were-called-at-this-point kids who did not like both at that time were very thin on the ground, it would have been a whole package. and green day's popularity now is derived from that popularity as a stadium pop-punk rock band in the mid-noughties, not as the band who played woodstock 94. as their setlist reflects, i am told.
as for weezer, dont know what to say about them anymore, and that my highest compliment is that if this whole entire thing is a bit, rivers, then good for you man. good for you |
