They are pop [quasi] punk. I don't label them as a band punk, but I definitely label Benji punk. He is the only person in that band who hasn't sold out. But I love Good Charlotte, pre-"Young and the Hopeless." That album was mediocre, which was sad, because the self-titled album was great. Oh well, they are still the reason I began listening to punk, so I am eternally grateful.

🤨 He said in his post he wasn't going to flame GC fans, and he didn't diss them, he just stated the truth. They're not punk. Even their fans know that. Maybe you should get a life and stop insulting him for no reason.

No... I've never flamed a GC fan, except for MAYBE Black Onyx (back in the days when she was PrefectRonnykin) but only then because she kept saying crap about how all hip hop sucked and hip hop fans were stupid... Other than that, I've never flamed somebody in the music forum. If you consider what I said to Onyx flaming at all.
And thanks for standing up for me nettles 🙂
exactly, as said by me time and time again, and by countless other people....
Punk ISNT trying to look as "punk" as possible, if nething that makes you absolutely NOTHING like a punk AT ALL...
GC try WAY too hard, and make music which can be described as pop-punk at best, and tbh i dont even think they deserve punk in their genre name

I'm sorry but I'm gonna be straight to the point - Good Charlotte are no more punk than N-Sync. Punk? You want to go and listen to The Exploited then come back and tell me that Good Charlotte are punk.
I beg to differ. While their music may be more poppy than your traditional punk band, that doesn't make them any less punk. I love The Exploited, but I have Good Charlotte to thank for getting me into The Exploited, because I started listening to punk thanks to Good Charlotte. If they love punk music, they are punk. Plain and simple.
