so... yeah... why the hate?

EDIT: If "hate" is too strong a word to use. Then just replace it with "dislike"

To mainstream and "catchy" for most people. I only like maybe 5 of their songs, but I think they're really great songs. Plus I've seen them live and they put on a great show. I get why a lot of people don't like them, but I think they're a decent enough band. They've found a winning formula at least and stuck with it.

Because they are very generic. I don't hate them, but after a while all their songs blur together. There are so many better bands around than them so I dont pay much attention to their music.

You believe in Jesus Christ and you're 100% proud of it, but it's OK to hate a band just for the hell of it. How cute.

He's the biggest D-bag in music. He writes songs just so they can be on the radio. Likewise, every radio will play their songs several times a day. They call themselves hard rock and thinks he is a rock star when he only makes teenage girls squeal.

I HATE them.

Their singles piss me off. They all seem to be mainstream rubbish.

However... My Brother is a fan and I've found that I quite like their older stuff. Not that much though...

Like that's any excuse :roll: The Clash stole my senior prom date, and on the way to pick her up, ran over my kitten with a '79 Corolla (which is a very un-punk automobile if you ask me, but I digress). I still like them.

No offense, but look at my avatar. I believe that makes me more than qualified to offer my musical opinions without further explanation. If you really need to know, my avatar was handed to me from none other than the Who's driver, Neil Boland, during his last breaths after being ran over by his own car.

Because all of their songs are pretty much exactly the same. They have horribad vocals. Some of the dullest riffs and drumming around. Etc.

I don't think it's a fad...People have hated them since they started releasing music. I think the hate has more to do with their songwriting capabilities. I'm not a fan at all, but I will admit they have definitely improved since I first heard them like 8 years ago.

Because they are bland, unoriginal, and they are known to be very obnoxious about their fans. I don't hate them, but its hard to like them, let alone listen to them.

I don't hate them it's just that to my ears their music sounds fairly boring and generic and so I don't listen to them.

Their songs are generic garbage that all sound EXACTLY the same. Plus, the lead singer's voice just really rubs me the wrong way. Whenever he sings, it sounds like he just thinks he's really awesome and he just has absolutely no right to think that.

I don't like music that's just dumbed down and only talks about sex or drugs or alcohol. It takes absolutely no effort or thought to do that, and it usually makes for awful music. They didn't always used to be like that, which is probably what disappoints me the most about them.

The lyrics to songs like "Something in Your Mouth" sound like they were written by horny, drunken frat boys.

I dont hate them hate them.

Its just the voice of the singer that makes me cringe. I dont like his voice. And their songs are not my type of rock music. Well its pop-rock but even so.
