Good Charlotte in a Nutshell.I was curious about this band about three years ago. I thought to myself: "Good Charlotte can't be that bad if they have so many 'hardcore' fans that go everywhere, buy everything and speak anything that is to do with Good Charlotte." Man, was I wrong.
They're basically a boy band that wears black clothes and wears eyeliner. Their music sounds like sped up emo music. MTV markets them to the teenybopper crowd. How so many young, impressionable kids can get suckered, hook, line, and sinker into any of the garbage that this pathetic excuse of a band dumps onto them is beyond me. They definitely appeal to 14 year old kids, who have such a horrible life because they can't go to the mall and buy new clothes or get a new video game.
Good Charlotte are a whiny band that love to sing about how "horrible" and "tragic" their life is, meanwhile they are sitting in cash in their mansions. No one cares except for their legions of self-pitying fans who feel they can truly connect with their "deep" and "inspiring" so-called attempts at songs. They even have ballads. Yes, Good Charlotte is fuelled by teen angst and armed with extremely bad talent. I'm sorry but they're nothing more than pop. It's a manufactured popularity contest now. With their mediocre cliched song lyrics, Good Charlotte are 100% worshipped by their demographic, pre-teen and teenage fanbase. This group of pop icons do nothing more than create shitty music, which is charged to audiences at well over $50 per ticket, and find themselves on MTV acting like jackasses every chance they aquire for the pleasure of their braindead viewers. (Remember the \m/ sign?)
Their fanbase consists stoners that think they know all about music, therefore claim that they have the right to say that "GC" are musical gods or are the "best punk rawk band eva!111!1!", while talented bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd to them are "old" and "rubbish". These people can usually be found online, usually on message boards, with usernames like "xxlyfesuxorzxx" and "trU3_pUnk_raWk3r".
Don't even get me started on Green Day.
You know what, in my opinion and only my opinion, Simple Plan is the worst of the lot.

You see, the above are musings. Musings meant to be read and then forgotten. Musings meant to be overlooked and brushed aside. Don't let me, another insignificant person, be an obstacle in your search for Good Music.
Which, on another note, is a pun for Good Charlotte.
