I might have been excited about this had it been 2000.


I think they were popular way back when because when you think of what was on mainstream radio (I'm talking about the U.S.), it was mainly boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and nsync or pop artists like Britney Spears. Then you had your rap stars. There were very few acts around that atually resembled some type of band. So the kids who didn't like that pop shit seemed to be really into the likes of Blink-182.
