God I'm so sick of people and their self righteous bullshit. A lot of fans were introduced to panic! because of mtv, people like me, who don't go around looking for underground bands because I have my own underground music career to focus on. But I guess I only like them cuz they are on mtv right? hell no. I like dthe song i write sins the second i heard it, on mtv2 for Christs sake. then a friend of mine heard me singing it to the radio and asked me who they were and I didnt even know. so I looked them up online, downloaded every song, and then bought the album. I love every song on the album as well. But thats just becuse the media tells me to right? I would have never heard of them if I hadn't had the tv on in the background that day. I'm grateful to mtv because they introduce me to music i like. besides, no one twisted their arms to make a video in the first place. And is it so wrong to reach a bigger fan base? Why does everyone have to make mtv the devil. I mean they hardly even play music on there anymore as it is. All they have are tv shows. But thats just the media telling me to like panic. Not what I think with my own brain. Quit trying to give yourselfs so much f**king credit for knowing some band before they were famous. Maybe the reason they are popular, and the reason they are nominated, is because they are actually GOOD. heaven forbid. I hope they win them all.

j'anelle you're my idol.

for the record, i myself, the starter of the thread (although on a different username) did not learn about panic! at the disco until i saw 'em on MTV2 and yeah, i liked 'em because of it. i own their cd, i know all the words to their songs, and i like them and i think they're good. but the reason why i was surprised by the nominations was because i felt that there were videos that were better.

Isn't the VMA's just a shameless marketing campaign?
Kinda of like nearly every other english televised awards show?

Still... 5?!

lol. i suppose it didn't used to be so shameless and marketing...

but i must say i DO want them to prove a lot of critics wrong by kicking ass with their sophomore release. i really want them in it for the long run...
