Loads of boybands play their own instruments or have done in the past, But thats besides the point ,Don`t be so short sighted.

A band plays their own instruments? big deal. That doesn`t mean they`re not aimed at teenagers. What do you think happened when the record companies realised boybands who make dancy pop tunes didn`t sell as well & noticed that rock music was selling & that the 'alternative' sound was popular?
You think they sat on their asses & said to themseves 'Oh no the Backsteet Boys & Nsync are unfashionable , there`s a whole generation of kids wearing black who like guitar rock , I guess now we`re ****ed"

Of course they didn`t, they went around looking for those sorts of bands that would appeal to that audience. Safe predictable rock music for teenagers who watch MTV , maybe a few ****s or ****s bleeped out in the lyrics to appeal to the kids.

Just because it`s guitar music doesn`t mean anything.It`s mass produced safe boring predictable crap aimed at a wider audience as possible.Playing guitar is hardly difficult all you need are 3 or 4 chords.If boybands can learn to sing I hardly think a couple of chords are beyond them.

If you can`t see that then you really are blind
