Have you ever noticed that bands that used to be the sole possession of rockers everywhere is starting to become popular among the pop-driven culture just because it's cool to listen to now? For example, Thousand Foot Krutch used to be one of those bands. we used to rock out to Puppet and Set It Off, but, hey, now that their new CD's out, some teenyboppers say, "Oh, my GOSH! This is, like, totally awesome!" and suddenly EVERYONE likes TFK. Most of these people don't even know how to mosh...

oy...

I like TFK's new stuff. They said they changed their style a litle bit because they wanted to try something new.

...but I guess I like POD's new stuff too, and most ppl wanna kill them now haha...

TFK was never hardcore...

And moshing to TFK is silly...it's not moshable music...

Oh, and for the record, even though I own Phenomenon, I don't like TFK. >_>;

Yeah, I thought Set it off was hip-hop-ish

I don't like TFK. >_>;

XD Sorry, Coby, I just..can't get into them...at all................I think their new CD is well, cheesy as heck.

If it's any consolation, I still love Switchfoot and Relient K to death.

cheesy as heck.

Some of FM Static's stuff is way wrose. LOL X3 But yes, liking Relient K and Switchfoot does win you bonus points haha.

The latest P.O.D cd. Not to the same degree and not quite to the teeny bopper stage, but it is annoying to see fans who don't appreciate the history of the band.

I haven't met anyone who likes the new POD CD that didn't like their old stuff, though. Most people hate it.

I prefer Snuff the Punk and BROWN.

Haha Snuff the Punk is awesome!!!

SNUFF THE PUNK AND BROWN ARE THAT OLD THRASH RAP STUFF. I love those CDs so much.

Do you mean bands who just get popular? Or bands who actually sell-out and change their style?

Since when is changing your style selling out?

That's the point I'm getting at. Thanks for clarifying me.

Well, what I mean is selling out by changing your style to accomodate what is popular or "cool". For instance, what Metallica did is a good example. They went mainstream and spat in the faces of true metalheads everywhere.

ive noticed the new Underoath CD has brought lots of attention, HotTopic even picked up a shirt and is selling it. the day i see a bunch of twelve year old girls arguing about who is the hottest guy in the band, trying to sing or even scream to it .. and plain ruining it .. well, i think ill get really sad and cry alot that day. boo.

I've already heard a bunch of twelve year old girls arguing about who is the hottest member of Underoath. It's sad. I don't care, though, whether 12 year olds like them or not doesn't determine if I like Underoath or not. If it did, I'd have quit listening to them a long time ago.

My cries will be heard with you. Then I'll go listen to Tourniquet or Mortal Treason. They scare little kids.

The Showdown. >D

When you change your style to attract more listeners aka make more MONEY. Then yes, your filthy sellouts. It makes me sick that bands get a strong fanbase...then spit all over it by going to top 40 sound.

HAHAHA! That's kind of funny! Dude, you expect that with bands like Hawk Nelson and FM Static but def not Underoath. Holy crap. That reminds me of when this preppy girl called into RadioU and was said, "Could you, like, play, like, Showbread??" and then she said something about how hot they were. I couldn't stop laughing.

XD Too funny.

Showbread needs a new single...I've heard Mouth Like A Magazine a lot. A Llama Eats a Giraffe(and Vice Versa) needs to be the new single. Aaaanyway.

LOL, you're right. Dead by Dawn would be a good one... I downloaded it off purevolume.com, its awesome.

Anyway, it does kind of btoher me when bands change to the "popular" style, which is why I got so mad at underoath when someone told me one of them had when on American Idol. I couldn't listen to them the same until I found out that it wasn't true after all.
