I know they are a widely popular band and I enjoy a lot of their stuff but I always considered them to be an original act similar to mindless self indulgence. (At least in their earlier years.)
None of those bands were on guitar hero or rock band, save for Atreyu...Look, SOAD was actually really difficult to get away from. Their earlier stuff was obscure but Toxicity was certainly not. Also YouTube just came out when I was in 7th grade and that's how I first listened to B.Y.O.B. because I didn't have any money. Most of their songs had music videos, so it was easy to find and watch most of them on that site.
