They're hardcore anarchists, aren't they d00d?

I mean, with spikey hair and lyrics like "don't wanna be youuuuuu", that is so against the system.

I'm gonna go spraypaint their name along with other bands like Sum 41 and Hedley that are punx on a downtown wall because that's how anti-establishment I am.



Oi!

I agree with a large majority of the people here... those two bands sell on their "punk" personas.

I admit, though, that I used to like Fall Out Boy. I bought their first two CDs and everything. But now I think back and want to slap myself :/ Their music isn't too awful or anything, though. I never did like Good Charlotte...

I think the biggest problem is that they are "mainstream" and when a band makes it to that point, they get big headed and sometimes their talent begins to decline. And their old fans start to dislike them because suddenly everyone knows who they are and therefore they aren't "cool" anymore... admit it... >_>
