    Green Day: like for sure they are meant to be huge, they have their own distinct sound, and they have stood the test of time, and evoked their sound to try new things, and put out new music and keep a fanbase and grow it as well, kids, parents alike love them and the music is an easy listen to sing along.  Gym Class Heroes: now they are not the typical punk or alt act but this song was everywhere but also fit into the skater counter scene as well , they played on warped dates as well.  Sum 41: this is so 90s movie like in every American pie teen type movie Superbad maybe but like I feel idk it had to be in every movie, more than just a Hollister band    Plain White Ts  This song is such a looking out the window song while it's like raining or something. another great song that like everyone knows or should know, a karaoke song, a bar song, a closing time like song, now the T's are like a one hit wonder in my mind but I feel like it might be for oth...
