Why do people call bands like Fall Out Boy and Good charlotte "Sellouts"? (pop, punk)

Not Fall Out Boy :/

No one knew who they were until that "We're going down, down blah blah blah" CD came out...

(They had another CD before that. That no one has really heard of. Meaning, not always mainstream...)

But they still suck.

Wow. This thread reminds me of something that happened to me a while ago.

My sister asked me to tell her about a few bands that she would enjoy, and she doesn't have terrible taste (she listens to stuff like 3 Doors Down, Foo Fighters and Radiohead). I obliged, giving her a list of a few bands worth noting but nothing too obscure. About a week later, I found the list of bands that I gave her scrawled on by her friend. My list was crossed out, and there was a new list in its place. There were bands there like Fall Out Boy, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte in their place. And right them was the label that made me cry: GOOD BANDS.

I can't believe how universally swallowed this **** is. These bands are nothing but an enema.

I'd imagine most people's beef with Sum 41 is that they blow monkey anus

i see you have a tom delonge quote...can we really trust your opinion when it comes to rubbishy pop-punk?

a side note: the term pop-punk does not really make sense does it.
