Poser Bands

I totally agree with most of the choices here. Here's some things to keep in mind: Good Charlotte's songs are self-deprecating, and in Avril Lavigne's music videos, there are electric guitar playrers when there are only acoustic guitars in the song. LOL, or don't.

What are they Posing as? 🤨

I feel partially sorry for Black Eyed Peas. They had a critically acclaimed album and then corporate Joe says "Hahaha, wouldn't it be great if you had this idiot girl join."

Not that I ever liked them anyway. I just feel sorry for what they've let themselves become.

Then on the other hand, they did let themselves become that and they did completely agree. So **** them.

One of the few things I can agree with AC on

I still don't understand what it is that they are posing at.

I think every singer and every band that doesn't write their songs themselves, or can't sing live, or can't actually play the instrument that he/she/it is suppose to play, are posers...they're posing to be musicians.

Bands and singers that don't claim they are songwriters or creative geniuses aren't posers imo.

imo those who leech off of their sibling's fame (ashlee simpson, haylie duff), or think they can be musicians if they are famous (hillary duff, lindsay lohan, PARIS HILTON!!) are all posers.

so wrong! if you actually listen to their songs on their albums, you'd realize they are not posers

any band that refers to themselves as "punk rawk"

What the hell is punk rawk? hahahahahahah

I know they don't exist anymore but are Busted on this list?
And now those 'Fightstar' dudes, 'McFly', 'Rooster'....they all seem to pose

mcfly say they are a boy band in some ways...in that they are a band that has boys in it....they dont pretend to be a rock band....

The Aquabats, though you don't hear much of them.

The Aquabats? What the F*ck? They are the only really "Different" Ska band I've heard in a LONG time. They are totally origional, which makes me wonder how you could ever say they are posers.

P.S. The Aquabats are Hep as hell. And if you don't know what that means, I will have to ensure your death. Especially after reading your title --> "Rockin Ska Punk".

I pretty much think that almost every new band out there even Green Day what the hell there old stuff is so much better why they came up with this stupid goth poser crap i would love to know because its not pleasing there old school fans. So i think these new bands suck a$$ thats why i like old skool like Greatful Dead or The Dead The Beatles The Clash The Who and alot of old classsics oh and Bob Dylan the best way to get real music is to listen to the old skool classics

So wearing black suits with some black eyeliner is "poser goth"...Please. And I'm pretty sure Billy Joe is the only one who wears make up.

Doesn't matter anyway, American Idiot was a good album, which is what matters.

By the way, the best way to get into real music is search for it.

I think that's the sad thing. People are so wrapped up in hating Green Day that they are forgetting American Idiot was a good album.

Sure, Green Day were less commercial back in the day but they always wanted to be a very big band that everyone loved. Just like Foo Fighters or The Darkness. The key is that they wanted to do it on their own terms, and they have.
