UGH, like I'd EVER be caught DEAD in Atlantic City!
And actually Jerry Only IS about 40, and from standing right next to him, I can safely say he could probably kick the crap out of 99% of the people here
And the fact of the matter is, many bands from NOFX to Metallica to AFI to about a million others credit the Misfits as a major influence, as likewise the Misfits credit bands like The Ramones as a major influence. Again, if you judge a band by how they look, you're the one cutting off your nose to spite your face.
As for Good Charlotte, I don't love them but I don't hate them the way many do (ahem... GK aint around is he?). What I think it boils down to is that as far as their "look" goes, they try very hard to LOOK like "punks" in the same vein as the Sex Pistols and whatnot, with the piercings and tattoos and the weird hair and all that. But they're not. They play the same type of pop/punk as Blink 182 and a million other bands out right now that try to act "punk" but they're not. I, for one, am opposed to the elitist "I'm a punk/No you're not" elitist posturing B.S., but the fact of the matter is putting on a Dead Kennedy's shirt and sticking a safety pin in your eyelid does not make you a "punk". It's just like how people hate Avril Lavigne because she calls herself "punk" for wearing a tie and a boys' undershirt, meanwhile she had never even heard of the Sex Pistols. It's not so much the music people hate, it's the phony image.
Although some say they hate Good Charlotte's style because it's overly simple and basically the same as a million other bands that are out right now. Me, I don't mind their music but they definitely fall into the "songs I like, some songs I don't" category. I do have two of their CDs, but I hardly listen to more than a couple songs.
