Exactly. The presence of electric guitars and tattoos does not differentiate them from the Backstreet Boys in my view. Its all corporate pop poo.
They have gone very comercialised lately - you have to admit it.... listen to stuff from the s/t and then listen to the last album.... spot the difference?!
Now see what I mean?

Listen to Bad Habit, Come Out And Play, Smash,

my opinion exactly! We could be cloned
Listen to Bad Habit, Come Out And Play, Smash, Gone Away or Me And My Old Lady. They are not poppy in these songs.
To my knowledge the genre 'PUNK' was started with bands such as the sex pistols (a very good group) who went against the system, and chose to veer away from commmercial TV and magazine covers. Today it seems things have changed.
Poor imitation bands of 'punk' such as Blink 182 and The Offspring are simply acting the way they do, TO get public attention and want to be on every magazine cover. I smell a stench of pop here people, I mean they might as well change their names to Steps and Hear'say.
