I think that the whole thing is wrong. Bands don't sell out (we'll
usually don't sell out) their fans sell out, or even worse, the shrubs
sell in. there is nothing more sickening to a "fan" for him/her to listen
to a band (like Sunny Day) for a couple of years with all the shrubs at
your school or work saying that they suck and then all of the sudden the
band does a more radio friendly album, gets signed and then all the idiots
from before are now "I love them!!" when, now, all you want to do is hit
THEM over the head. I hate those kind of "fans" + I think a TRUE fan
would stick it out. most people like to jump on the band wagon. Don't
diss the band because of those shrubs.
wadda you think?
Over.
