Whining little maggots
Is anybody else sick of the whiny "boy rock" that's been coming out lately? Bands like Hoobastank, Sum 41 and Simple Plan. High-pitch-voiced BOYS singing and whining about their daddies, literally using the word "daddy" in their lyrics, and moaning about the fact that they're "not a perrrrfect perrrsonnn...." God I swear, if I hear another little boy bitch with a guitar whining about how he's not perfect, I'm going to punch somebody in the face. For the love of God, BE A MAN! Take a tip from your other deeper-voiced contemporaries like Nickelback, Three Doors Down or Rob Thomas. Wait until your balls drop, and your voice changes before you go making music. Nobody EXPECTS you to be perfect. Just own up to the things you've screwed up, move on, and sing about something with more substance that we might actually give a crap about. Or if the teen angst is really just too much for you to handle and you just can't help but lament over how not perfect you are, the least you could do is take a cue from the king of angst, Kurt Cobain, and deal with your problems in a constructive way.

Came across your website (not literally) but like I dunno about lately with Sum 41? They've kinda been around for the best part of 7 years. And Nickelback a contemporary? I don't think so. Sum 41 are much more a talented Canadian band than Nickelback.
I wouldn't call Sum 41 'boy rock' either. No way am I defending the band, nor do I even like them that much, I enjoy their music and their albums, but I have to disagree with what you said.
I hope you read this with an open mind, nice blog.
Hey, sorry it took me so long to reply. Been away. I will conceded, I like Sum 41 when they're rocking out. But it's their whiny ballads that make me label them as "boy rock" simply because they literally sound like whiny little boys. And as far as calling them contemporaries of Nickelback, I think that's a completely accurate term given that they are both currently putting out music at the same time.
No worries man. Critique away. That's what makes this whole blogging thing great.
