But yeah this "protest" is street team bullshit.

I don't think it matters. They seem like the sort of band kids will like for about six months before moving onto something else. Chances are it will be something a little bit better. In a few years time half of this lot will be Shellac fans, mark my words.
Quite a few of us on the forum (the younger crowd I guess) had a certain amount of luck in that our gateway band was Nirvana, who weren't an especially terrible band but they served in pretty much the same way the 'mainstream' rock bands do today. Some MCR fans will lose interest in music. Some will move to a different genre. Maybe some will dig a bit deeper into independent music and give us all an audience over the next decade or so.
Seriously, if the existence of this band is your main concern today, you are fucking blessed as a human being.

You should write books about this stuff and interject your poly experiences within.

I still remember the Old Guard Hippies making fun of us for having short hair, "weird" clothes and listening to stupid, shitty, ugly-looking bands like Sex Pistols and Ramones. They sounded a lot like some of you, who are much younger than me even. Let them have their street-teams, makeup, hair.
