Honestly, it took a really long time, but I've recently come to the conclusion bands like Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and The Jonas Brothers are just the music of 2000-2010, and that maybe it's natural for us to get bubblegum rock again after so many decades of intense cultural/musical movements. As far as the media being the driving factor in this, well, the media is just part of the culture in the 2000's, and as usual, music got swept-up in it.
