the "Fueled by Ramen" record label is the worst thing to happen to music for a long while. Bands like Fallout Boy, P!ATD and the Academy Is are the new Nsync's and Backstreet Boys for a pop generation desperate to fit into the sudden rock trend yet unwilling to go too far into it. Kids are growing up younger nowadays, their aware of whats cool and whats not - so they want to fit in. Yet being kids they arent going to go and buy a mars volta or a refused album are they. THEN you have the annoying scene kids who define the word "irony". The only good thing i can say about Panic! is they are an inch more original than Fallout Boy...though unfortunatly that doesnt excuse them for being the aural equivalent to eating turd..
