History
Good Charlotte took pop-punk out of the skate park and pointed it at class. Formed in a small Maryland town by twin brothers, the band wrote from the position of people watching wealth from outside it, and their biggest song is a straight sneer at celebrity built on a simple descending riff and a chorus designed for a crowd to shout. The sound is clean and bright rather than raw: compressed guitars, gang vocals on the hook, choruses arriving early and often, with production that drifted toward hip-hop rhythm as the decade went on. The Young and the Hopeless sold in the millions and made them fixtures of the American music television of that moment, which brought both a large teenage audience and a lasting accusation of being too polished for punk. Alongside the jokes they wrote plainly about broken homes and about staying alive. A listener recognises the nasal, slightly bratty vocal and the hook that lands within thirty seconds.
