Being Average Ain't So Bad. Worked For 98 Degrees...

What is up peeps?! It is late, I have some sake & Sapporo in me and I have a huge question and/or favor to ask of you. So as some of you know (And the rest of you don’t) I have decided that the best way to tag mediocrity is to embody them with the band of their generation that matches their time. So mediocre things in the 80’s are Kajagoogoo:

As you can see, nothing really infuriating about that song but at the same time there is no way in fucking hell you would go out of the way to listen to it. Unless you liked being average in which I hope you love your Shasta and Arby’s. While in the 90’s they are referred to as Savage Garden:

As you can see, not really offensive to the point of making you shake a puupy. Yet, there is no what in hell you would want to listen to this if you had your choice in songs. It’s just…tolerable. However, I am having problems figuring out what to refer to the modern mediocre aspects of life are. Kelly Clarkson was a good idea (Thank you, Kase!) while YC brought in 3 Doors Down. I personally think that The Fray is the model of mediocrity:

They don’t excel in anything but at the same time; they really aren’t going to make you say that they are any better than let’s say a kick in the balls. Although if I have to hear “How To Save A Life” not on Scrubs one more time I will find your cat and rape you with it. I am not fucking joking; I am sick of that song out of context and it doesn’t make me sad so give the fuck up. He isn’t singing to you so shut the fuck up. It isn’t Evanescence’s “October” and it isn’t that much of a tearjerker so grow a spine and realize that your problems aren’t bigger than anyone else’s and if a song “totally captures your pain” then you are a fuckwit and you suck it dry. Yeah, I fucking went there and you SO KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE, BITCH. Or not, I am just ranting.

Back to the point. Peeps, I need your help in figuring out what to call the mediocre in the 2000’s in terms of a band. I am considering All-American Reject but aside from that I am not sure. I ask of your input if you like. If not, eat a dick. Sorry, it’s late and I haven’t had my eggnog and rum. Heavy on the rum and double the nog. The only way to have it, bitches. I’m going to bed. Peace out, peeps.
