Hell even my fav band, Green Day admitted they went pop rock, but they have 6 previous punk albums. Recently they said they will release a power pop-like album this year, they did not claim to be still punk.
MTV these days practically doesn't show any videos compared these days. In 2000 music videos featured up to eight hours per day, while now, only three hours a day, and they show only the mainstream crap while leaving other less popular bands behind (and the classics in that matter) thus not letting the people to widen their understanding and taste in music. That's why kids these days don't know what real rock, punk, or metal is,
MTV should be stripped of it's name, because it's not a music television anymore.

In case you don't know Coldplay formed in 1998, so they don't fit in my category, and yes they are a good band, although I didn't much like their last album, in my opinion it missed something.

No I meant, sometimes MTV forgets and puts good music like Coldplay's. But 99.9% is just mainstream crap, like you said.

Is there a music channel worth to watch nowadays? If so, I need a suggestion, YouTube has been removing Warner Music bands and singers, so I can't preview before downloading music (or buy).

Seriously? MCR is the most hated band in this site, this thread should be deleted. It's no way Japanese related.

Can't we really say that any band (including MCR) is a sellout, essentially. But I still like them we have plenty of sell-out bands and I bet there are some we can say we like. But regardless of that it doesnt make a band less of a band.



Rest in peace Kyle <3

Can't help you there. I something watch VH-1, but mostly at midnight when it shows old videos.
And it's the first time hear the Youtube is removing Warner music bands, I noticed some videos missing when I check one band or another, but there are other videos containing their music.

To be a sell out, you need to have mainstream music. They do. Mainstream music is temporary catchy music, nothing more or less.

Most bands and or Artist happen to be mainstream though, I can't think of many that were played on TV(MTV, FUSE, etc.)and then disappeared off the scene. Lot's of things are mainstream these days, they can't help it these days..gotta milk a band or a song for all its worth I guess lol



Rest in peace Kyle <3

Thank you! Finally someone not hating on MCR, and I agree I think they are one of the coolest bands, Have you seen their music video of 'Desolation Row'?
