for those of you who don't understand/think this statement is stupid..
I feel the same way.
Except, I still love them.
I think she means by since they got famous with MTV(which is crap) its attacted alot of fake fans, which sometimes takes the fun out of the music since you'll see these ghetto girls down the street who usually diss that kind of music singing it without the correct lyrics.
Thats how I see it as.
Then again, I've been a fan from the beginging. (When Ryan only had lyrics down)
This is true with a lot of bands that "go mainstream" I would have to agree with you 100% about that. No one has ever explained the feeling as well as you have and i have to thank you for that.
I wasn't surprised. I may not have necessarily wanted them to win, but I wasnt surprised when they did. I know it's fan voted, but Panic! really does kind of sum up the year, since the "punk" genre (i use this term highly loosely, its simply for lack of a less general word) blew up incredibly HUGE this year. So it makes sense to me.
but honestly, i didn't care as long as AAR took home an award, which they did!
