When Penn State first announced its deal with Napster I said, so what?

The service seemed extremely limited, especially since all you can do without shelling out extra money is stream songs at a weak bit rate. To actually own them, well, your shadowy information technology fee isn't gonna cover it.

But recently it hit me: what better way to listen to albums like Bowling for Soup's A Hangover You Don't Deserve without contaminating my hard drive or wasting twenty bucks?

There isn't one. Which brings me to the band some jerk nominated for a Grammy in 2002 on the (strength?) of that "Girl All the Bad Boys Want" song.

They still haven't grown up. At all. They're still singing about being 14 years old and wanting to touch "breast-esez," the perfect soundtrack for yet another teen movie. The dorks in Blink 182 have more hair on their chests than this.

When the band covered "...Baby One More Time" at Movin' On, I pointed at the stage and asked a guy next to me if that was punk rock. He patiently explained, "No, this is pop-punk." Thanks.

Well, the hooks and self-deprecation are just a formula, nothing original or even slightly creative. It's time to stop marketing this so-called rebel image to high school kids, because like Bowling for Soup, it's really just mainstream schtick.If you like pop-punk, do yourself a favor and get the new Green Day. At least you haven't heard it all before.
