Why do people call bands like Fall Out Boy and Good charlotte "Sellouts"? (singer, album)

That's true.

But did she not write her own stuff?

I don't know.

I just know some of the music meant something to me.

Until it became especially poppy.

She was never a huge pop princess until recently with the pink in her hair and the skills on her shirt.

It's like she doesn't know who she is, still.

3 chord poppy shite is 3 chord poppy shite whether you do it now on a major or 15 years ago on an indie.

Are you seriously saying Kerplunk and Dookie sound the same as American Idiot?

I'm saying they're just as crap and writing a few slower songs changes nothing.

I'm pretty sure she wrote most of the stuff on her first album but it was really, really terrible.

No, I did.

"Nobody's Home" is my favorite.

I have to say.

Looking at the track listings, I must admit that I have no idea what most of those songs are.

Still a lot of the chick-pop I'm currently into blows it out of the water.
Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette, Katy Perry etc.
