a poser-punk band that tries to be emo but in reality, just sucks. they dress punk but then their music sounds like a darker version of the backstreet boys. if you would like to hear more about this band, head over to hot topic and ask all the preppy chicks, im sure they have a lot to say.

Get the good charlottemug. Quite possibly the worst band of all time. The genre of this band is "Poser-Punk". They pretend to be punk in many different ways, such as spiking their hair to ridiculous and unnecessary heights. This band was made famous by a network known as MTV (better known as Moron Television). This band lacks something known as talent, which is usually a very important factor to a successful band, which Good Charlotte is light years away from. The singer as a very annoying, whinny, bitchy voice which makes me want to bang my head against my window over and over until the glass shatters. The guitarist is restricted as a background sound, and all the guitarist does is play a bunch of random 3 note power chords. The bass player...do they even have a bass player? I can't hear it because the power chords are so fucking loud. The drummer is off beat, he might as well grab a branch off of a tree and bang it on his head, it would most likely make the same sound as his drumming. It is painfully obvious that the main goals for the members of Good Charlotte are two things: Money and chicks. No, they don't care about making beautiful music, they just figured that if they pretend to play, and think of lame emo lyrics such as "HOOOLD ONN IFF YOUU FEEEL LIKE LETTING GO", the chicks will love them. Unfortunately, this has became true, they are loved by many preps. MTV basically played this band on their station to brainwash all the preps into listening to bad music. Oh well, there's nothing we can do.
Prep: The song "Hold on" saved my life!!@!!@!"
Someone who isn't an idiot: "Yeah, too bad it's ending ANYWAY!!"
*shoots the prep*

Get the good charlottemug. Alright, I will state that I was curious about this band about four years ago. I thought to myself: "Good Charlotte can't be that bad if they have so many 'hardcore' fans that go everywhere, buy everything and speak anything that is to do with Good Charlotte." Man, was I wrong. Good Charlotte sucks. They're basically a boy band that wears black clothes and wears eyeliner. Their music sounds like sped up emo music. You could describe their music as "emo with estrogen". MTV markets them to the teenybopper crowd. How so many young, impressionable kids can get suckered hook, line, and sinker into ANY of the garbage that this pathetic excuse of a band dumps onto them is beyond me. They definitely appeal to 12 year old kids, who have such a horrible life because they can't go to the mall and buy new clothes or get a new video game.
They are a whiny band that love to sing about how "horrible" and "tragic" their life is, meanwhile they are sitting in cash in their mansions. No one cares except for their legions of self-pitying fans who feel they can truly connect with GC's "deep" and "inspiring" so-called "music". They even have whiny ballads that sound like the rest of the "pop-punk" and "emo" genres at the moment. Yeah, GC is fuelled by teen angst and armed with extremely bad talent. I'm sorry kiddies but Good Charlotte is nothing more than pop. I'm 16 & I'm already getting tired of the new music because it is getting horrible & more horrible. It's a manufactured popularity contest now. With their mediocre cliched song lyrics, Good Charlotte are 100% worshipped by their demographic, pre-teen and teenage preppy girls (and flamer guys.) This group of pop icons do nothing more than create crappy music (which is charged to audiences at well over $50 per ticket) and find themselves on MTV acting like jackasses every chance they aquire for the pleasure of their braindead viewers.
Their fanbase consists of 12 year olds that think they know all about music, therefore claim that they have the right to say that "GC" are musical gods or are the "best punk rawk band eva!111!1!", while talented bands like The Beatles and Pink Floyd to them are "old" and "horrible". These 12 year olds can usually be found online, usually on message boards, with usernames like "XxGCIsDaBestPunkBandEvarxX" and "trU3_pUnk_raWk3r"
Teenybopper talking to herself: "Oh my gaaaawd. I hate my liiiife. I can relate to these guys sooooo much because nobody listens to me and everyone hates meee"
Ugh.
In the end, I recommend the following punk rock albums to those who have been victimized by Good Charlotte:
Raw Power - Iggy and the Stooges
Ramones - The Ramones
London Calling - The Clash

Get the good charlottemug. a pop rock / image band that started a big circle of accusations about being 'poseurs' - basically this was done with their 'non-conformist' song 'The Anthem.' soory, what kind of non conformist song is also an anthem? joel madden unwittingly created a large preppy army of poseurs, all of whom are posing as non posers, all the while accusing everyone who disses GC for being the shitty band they are of posing and denying an apparent hidden desire to listen to the horrible rubbish they continue to churn out. yes, i personally have been told by a gc fan that if i were to pretend not to know anything about the band and listen to their new album, i wouldnt be saying they were musically insignificant, unoriginal AND untalented by all definitions of the words. hmm perhaps if they were good... wed all LISTEN TO THEM AND NOT DISS THEM IDIOTS
im confused...

Get the good charlottemug. how can you call these motherfuckers "punks" the only goddamn reason why they are even called "pop punk" is because they play insturments, if you gave their guitars bass and drums to the backstrret boys they would be called a fucking "pop punk band", and they would be the boy band. Same goes for fallout boy and simple plan....which by the way is a disgrace to canada
there are actual punk bands from canada such as D.O.A. and pantychrist....and so on...
as ed the sock said " their just the back street boys with eyeliner"!!!!!

Get the good charlottemug. A band that is listened to by the masses. People think that only psychopathic, freaky, dim-witted preppies listen to them, but that is entirely untrue.
1. We do NOT all think Joel is hott. Get over it.
2. Some of us, I repeat, SOME of us actually have brains and can use them in a very intellectual manner.
3. They aren't trying to be anything. They're just being themselves and making music.
4. You know, you CAN listen to Good Charlotte, Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and a bunch of other various bands without being a poser.
& 5. Ok, maybe they "sold out", but if you want to have a career in music that you love doing, and actually make money doing it, you HAVE to sign with a major record label. Get over it.

I rest my case. I'm not saying that any of you have to like Good Charlotte, but I'm just asking you to hear me out, because I'm not like most of the fans you've probably met. Good day to you. :
