Okay, they might not be so good now, but check out their old stuff: their first album "Good Charlotte", has got some really great songs like Screamer, East Coast Anthem and Festival Song. :)
I will always love Good Charlotte, cause they have really meaningful lyrics and listening to them has helped me through a lot :D

A really cool band that has way too many preps and teenies fawning over them so everyone else who might actually like them are labeled as such. If you listen to the music and like it because it's good music, you're a good fan. If you like it because everyone else in the world likes them, you're a teenie and should be shot.
Teenie/Idiotic Prep: Oh My Gosh, everyone else loves GC so much! They must be awesome! I'm going to go run out and buy all their cds and obsess over one of the members so I'm cool like everyone else! Good Charlotte roxxors!
Real fan: GC rocks! The music is really meaningful and the members are just so cool. Go out and buy all their cds? What do you mean? I already have them. I need their first one again cuz it never leaves my cd changer...

Great punk-rock band from Maryland! These guys are the most down to earth band in the biz. Joel Madden (Vocals), Benji Madden (Guitar), Billy Martin (Guitar) and Paul Thomas (Bass) mix smart lyrics with great music! If you have the chance to see them live go check em' out, you wont regret it.
I recommend you to download: "Motivation Proclamation", "The Young And The Hopeless" and "In This World (Murder)"

A Pop-Punk band, a GOOD band that people could like if they would take a second to stop and listen, full of people who UNLIKE AVRIL LAVIGNE really play their own instruments, but are stereotyped because the play "Pop" punk. Dude, so does friggin' Iggy Pop and Green Day. True fans love the music, not the faces.
Jane: Ohhh, Good Charlotte are so hot!!
Sarah: They friggin' SUCK!
Jane: I hate them too!
Jacobin: Example of a fake fan. Now, a true fan:
Kris: I love Good Charlotte, I think they are really good musicians!
Jodie: I think they suck! They are posers! All their fans care about is the looks!
Kris: Well, I don't care, 'cause I LOVE THE MUSIC NOT THE FACES! Though the faces aren't too bad...
David: And that's a true fan.

A pop-punk band that started in Waldorf/Naptown in Maryland. Brothers Joel and Benji are lead vox and back-up vox/guitar respectively. Billy Martin on the other guitar, Paul Thomas on the bass, and Chris Wilson on the drums complete this quintet.
Not considered punk by "hard-core" punk fans (who would rather be listening to Avril Lavigne), they are neither punk nor pop.
Many people listen to them because their single "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" hit number one. Their most famous song, however, "Hold On", got world-wide fame as one of the first songs that confronted teens and parents about teen suicide and encouraged them to get help. When many others were talking about cutting themselves and killing themselves, Good Charlotte was encouraging teens to get help.
The band doesn't deserve the crap they get from peopl. People say that they hate Good Charlotte's music when they've only heard one or two songs by them. They dislike anyone who likes their music because it's music that isn't afraid to play.

Good Charlotte is a band that DOES sound somewhat generic, but as an old and true fan, ill give you the TRUE low-down. Good Charlotte's most famous members are Benji and Joel, twin brothers from Maryland. they were raised by their loving mother after their father left the family on Christmas eve. they were poor, and were bullied by their classmates. Their first cd, the self titled album (one that most good charlotte haters dont even know about) was the best album they made. they were truly against 'the norm' and if you want to know how life was for them before fame, listen to their first cd. theyll tell you everything. However, i am sad to say that the band, in a way, DID sell out before their 4th album came out. in their second album, they bash the lifestyle of rich and famous people in their song, "lifestyles of the rich and famous." And now they are dating chicks like Nicole Richie. I will always love them and hope for the best, and i truly hope they remember where they came from.
"Good Charlotte, a perfect example of nerds getting revenge."
"Then when we look back, we will have to laugh, they used to call us names now they want our autograph."

THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!
Everyone thinks they are posers and it is pisses me off. If people have nothing better to do than talk shit about something they don't like they need to get a fucking life! So what if they aren't your style. Who gives a fuck?! They've been through more in their lives then you probably ever will. Just cuz they signed with a record label and have some cash now doesn't mean they "sold out". To make it in the music business you HAVE to be signed. It's just how it is. So shut the fuck up about them "selling out". And I bet if YOU had a chance to do what you love and make money for it, you would take it. So just drop that. Benji and Joel give back so much to the world. Just look it up and you'll find something about them helping. They give back so much more than all of you ever will. And if you don't like the band, big deal. Doesn't mean you should write horribly about them. We probably don't even know half of what went on in their lives, so they're not whining, they are just explaining how they can connect with a ton of people. If your dad walked out on you, you would want to express it too. SO just leave them alone and GET A LIFE. Thank you(: (BTW, They are OBVIOUSLY more popular than YOU ever will be)
