Hey, at this point they're all jukebox heroes.

Nine Inch Nails got pretty big and they’re still good and win Oscars and stuff

Give Weezer time, they'll get there eventually.

Weezer is definitely the one I dislike the most but I think by any measure Green Day is way more "washed up", I get the feeling that Weezer could still crank up decent material if they wanted to but they're more interested in doing stupid viral shit

This thread made me wonder what Everclear were up to, looking at some recent videos they are definitely very bad and washed up. clicked around on their new album and every song sounded like it was generated by AI. even Art's voice feels weirdly autotuned and fake now, like that shit they did with Michael Jackson after he died. then I watched some old videos and found out they sucked pretty bad back in the day too. but they had some good tunes at least

i thought the last two everclear albums were pretty ok for what they are. art alexakis' voice has definitely lost a lot of the (minimal) range it used to have, weird seeing them during summerland in 2013(?) and noticing that all of the hits were being played a step down

Everclear's playing here next week as part of a package tour with Living Colour, Hoobastank, and Wheatus.

jfc Living Colour is going to kill the other bands on that bill

Well, yeah.

Looking deeper, that package tour (Summerland) dates back to 2012, and is the brainchild of Alexakis and Mark McGrath. Other washed-up bands featured in prior lineups include:

Sugar Ray (duh)
Marcy Playground
Lit
Sponge
Filter
Live
Gin Blossoms
Eve 6
Spacehog
Soul Asylum
Fuel
Toadies
American HiFi
Local H

UMS has a Spacehog tattoo

Should mention the Summerland-participating version of Live was the sans Kowalczyk lineup.

Summerland bands minus Living Colour would be a good poll

Soul Asylum & Gin Blossoms don’t seem to quite fit with the theme…

Wish Godzilla had guested on more tracks, tbh. His rhymes were always the freshest.

Thus calling into question the integrity of this epic lineup? Say it ain't so!
