A shit, suck-ass poser band that, even if they weren't such jackass posers, suck ass. Their
instrumentals are shitty or, at best, generic, and they're lyrics are stupid as hell, for example, "Strolling through the party like my name was El Nino/Well, I'm
hanging out drinking
in the back of an El Camino" or "Tell me now, what have we done?/We don't know." They haven't gotten any better on any of their later albums, and in their last one they even ripped off GOOD bands such as (old school) Metallica and even Oasis. Apparently copyrights don't apply to Sum 41.
Lots of futily rebellious kids who watch lots of MTV and like to think they're a badass punks by listening to this so-called "punk" music, and whose only defense against those who say how shitty their precious band really is is, "Fuck you, haters! They never said they were punk!" Contrary to what a lot of posters have said, the singer HAS been quoted as referring to their music as "punk".
Also, the band members all have LAME-ASS nicknames such as Stevo 32 and
Brown Sound, and are in real life major assholes (I've read on some of the shit they've said and done).
I have heard Sum 41 and have even seen them play on TV and they suck shit.
Sum 41 sounds
different when they play (
even more shitty than they already are).
MTV teenybopper: Wow,
look at me! I just bought the new Sum 41 CD along with a new studded wrist band and eye-liner! I'm so punk!
