If Green Day, Offspring and Pennywise were the first generation of MTV-sanctioned bubblegum punk for a white suburban kid's trip to Hot Topic, Blink 182 and Sum 41 being the second generation, then Simple Plan is the third copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a. To call them derivative would be generous. That being said, they have a bunch of infectious tunes and it was great to hear some of them last night. I can't believe how popular this band still is here: they are playing three consecutive nights at Bataclan, all of them sold-out. That's 4500 tickets sold! They probably could have booked the small Zénith arena. Some twenty years after their debut, and about a quarter century after the genre peaked, that's no small feat. Lots of people in their thirties, and quite a bunch of younger kids, too. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and I don't particularly care for that genre.

When I saw the link, I had confused Simple Plan with Simply Red. I clicked the link in a rush to see what the singer's hair looks like today.
Then I realized this was just that shitty fake punk band.

Fake punk or fake soul... The equation is the same.
Fake (Soul v Punk)

Yeah, but soul sucks, and punk is awesome.
I'd rather listen to pop soul than pop punk. Soul benefits from the pop. Punk doesn't.
Plus Simply Red has the guy with the hair.
Did you post a Simply Red review? I think maybe you did.

I did indeed. November 2022 I think it was.
And soul doesn't suck. You suck!

Did they so all their stage banter in French ? Maybe its part of their appeal in France a 100% francophone band. They are still pretty big here as well
