What ska band everybody likes do you hate?

I know I might put some peopl angry here, but I always want to know what band pisses you off because they're some pop sellout concept peices of crap (or just bands you don't like).
This thread is a must on every music forum.
Tell what band that everybody likes makes your skin crawl and precise why.
ANd I don't wan any whiny sucker saying that "this band is too punx to be sellout and it's super cool". Everyone can express his opinion here about why they hate some band.
Now is the time to spit, puke and blur out all your hatre on the bands you hate.

I hate mainly 2 bands.
Streetlight Manifesto : it's not the band itself or the concept that bugs me (even if it is too oten considered a "super awesome and important band" by som posers), it's the music itself. The songs sound way too much the same, it's all too fast, the guitar sounds like high-speed string masturbation and the music itself gives this crappy "unity and wow that's awesome" feeling. Their image ain't that bad, but I just don't like the music.

The Johnstones: Do I have to explain myself? I think I do.
They're just a bunch of fresh opo-punk kids that some manager took from high-school, gave them a style, gave them a concept (pretty crappy) and made them a pop-punk/ska/rap crappy band. They have this "I'm-a-good-kid-and-i-want-to-look-like-a-street-punk-but-I-don't-want-to-be-rejected-so-I-mix-it-with-whatever-is-fresh-bling-and-popular-right-now" style. I maen.. look at the trombone player!: he has this big mohawk, but is dressed like some skate/rap fresh douchebag and has S shaved on his head. Their music is a mix with pop, punk, ska, rap, bouncy crap and some beastie boys wannabe pop. They're just a concept made to make money.

..Wow... that was hardcore. A little to raw and maybe exagerated a little bit, but true.

Now, It's your turn.

i don't know, after having seen those pictures, i think the johnstones have effectively canceled the planet smashers out.

I bet there are 10 000 more douchebag bands roaming in the US of A.
But that's my last argument, I'm sure there are many, many more great Canadian ska bands (none of which come to my mind ATM) but if the Johnstones cancel The Planet Smashers out, there aren,t many that can help.

yeah, i definitely agree with you there, although not being able to think of any doesn't look very good for your case.
Truth be told i didn't have a problem with the johnstones until i saw those pictures, but now i'm thinking they should stop being alive.

nice lechuck picture btw.; ▶ Reply to This

Yeah both are really good and I thaught about saying them, but Ganaral Rudie don't exist anymore and One Night Band is a really good band (who almost constantly tour around Quebec and Ontario), but they're not as awesome as The Planet Smashers imo.; ▶ Reply to This

You're right, op ivy is not that good of a band. However, Matt Freeman knows what he's doing with a bass in his hands. I have to at least stick up for him.; ▶ Reply to This
