Or maybe it's because selling out has a lot to do with punk.

You can look it up in the dictionary under 'Green Day effect , The'
Green Day always have to be surrendered to inconclusive views. Green Day cant do nothing right, and why do you have to bring them up?

Green Day fanboy strikes again.

I saw Against Me! mentioned earlier in the thread. When I hear their stuff on the "alternative" station in michigan I get depressed.

Good Charlotte already lost most of their fandom. And Fallout Boy is fading slowly. Their reign of teenage angst will soon come to an end.

Well done on finding the only 2 or 3 times i've mentioned them in about the past 2 years

Should Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte be in the punk section of music banter?

Yeah. Only album from them I really like though.

Its not that I think they sold out, its just that while their stuff was cool when they started out, its boring to hear them do the same crap like 15 years later.

But I don't get why the aforementioned bands "sold out" since they never showed even the slightest evidence of ethics or integrity?
I don't think they are sellouts, I just think they are trash. Also, selling out in music is the same as jumping the shark in TV, that's how I see it.

Anything Green Day or Fall Out Boy has done has been crap. Neither did anything original at all and I have yet to find an ounce of soul in their music.
