I totally agree, simple plan is ruining all the true punk bands out there. It's a known fact that it's impossible for the real punk bands to have any kind of success while people are buying simple plan albums. The music industry isn't big enough to have people like different kinds of music, so if bands like simple plan are popular, it prevents everyone else from listening to the good music. People should never just be able to listen to what they want, because if they want to listen to simple plan, then it ruins punk's image, and every good punk fan should be really concerned about bands like simple plan and good charlotte ruining our hard core image. DAMN YOU SIMPLE PLAN!! DAMN YOU!!!!

i like the little time gap in between there, because i read that earlier, and i was like wtf is she talking about.

That has to be the single worst thing I've read in this thread. Someone go tell the Clash they weren't punk because millions of people bought their albums.

Dudette, surely the good punk fan is more concerned that his hair isn't dyed the right colour and that his or her trousers don't contain enough rips?

I own this thread

Simple Plan arn't the only ones that everyone think are punk, like MTV and music shows like that, i will use evidence i heard from Channel V, an Australian music show, "Coming up next is some harcore-punk, Good Charlotte" its just not right :banghead:

:laughing:

:beer:

The only thing I really see them ruining is music message boards across the nation. Is it possible for music message board to go 3 weeks without one of these dumb threads anymore?

maybe the fact that they are getting that much negative attention should tell you something, because you sell a lot of records doesn't mean you're any good, and just because you wear torn plaid pants and have a blue mohawk doesn't mean you are a punk. It's about heart and having conviction in your beliefs, that because something is the way it is, or is the accepted mainstream doesn't necessarily make it right.

In my humble opinion, Simple Plan is like so many others, a boy-band with guitars
