They are like the B-Movie version of punk... terrible in many ways, but a lovingly crafted kind of terrible that is not that bad if you just turn your brain off and enjoy it for what it is... intentionally awful, but delivered with passion... much like watching an Ed Wood movie.

So yeah, you think they suck.... they do too... and that is their charm.

Plus, their live shows are a ton of fun.
All of this. Yes Fat Mike is a twat/hypocrite when it comes politics, or just a bellend in general, but most frontmen are. Still love him though.

They're just what I like most about music, having fun and getting messed up at the same time, holding it together with subpar ability resulting in great songs.
