I’m making no sense right now, and I’m probably coming off as a mixture of butthurt idiot and immature moron, but I don’t care.

The comments in the ATL vid were just too specific and too much of an "inside joke" for anyone to think they're funny.

All Time Low isn't taken seriously because their music turned incredibly commercial. I take The Party Scene ATL seriously. The new music is garbage and lacks any sense of musical merit that would otherwise set themselves apart from artists like Kesha.

I hate this girl. I don't know why, but I hate any girl that is even nearly into music as much as I am.

"Lacks any musical merit?"
Making pop music with heart behind it is not equivalent to selling out. Sure, they changed their style. They’re still a hell of a lot better than most of the three-chord pop punk bands regurgitating what’s been done before fifty times. I bet a lot of people have I Feel Like Dancin’ on the tip of their tongues right now. That was a joke song. A joke song meant to climb the charts, a joke song meant to gain them more fans. Why is that not selling out? Because I Feel Like Dancin’ is a complete anomaly when put against the rest of the songs on Dirty Work. They wrote that song to expose the REST of their music to a wider audience, to get mainstream pop fans to give the rest of their music a chance. As for their poppy direction, Alex is a fan of pop music, and they didn’t want to fit in the pop punk niche anymore, which is completely understandable. If you don’t like the new record, or the one before it, I can get why, but if there’s one thing All Time Low is not, it’s soulless. Alex puts so much of himself into his lyrics and I know that better than anyone else because I followed them through the writing process. Catchy pop melodies and 4/4 measures is not selling out. Just because they made an album too mainstream and too poppy for your tastes doesn’t you give the right to discredit all the effort they put into making the music they make.
I’ll be the first to admit, I DON’T like the new album apart from around 3-4 songs. But I respect them for having the guts to break away from the scene they were so deeply engraved in.

You can make good pop-punk music if you're talented enough.

I laughed at the video because of how deadly accurate the she got the stereotypical pop punk kid.

really wish this would be in PIPA's jurisdiction, and then that would be it.

I don't understand what's wrong with this video. at all. Common words used to describe the girls would be "immature" and "obsessed." Obsessed, maybe. Personally, I don't find anything wrong with being overly dedicated to a band. I don't know these girls, but I've known other ATL fans around their age and hell, even around the age of the average AP.net user and this band has fucking saved lives, not just through their music, but through the sense of community and escape that the band's seemingly immature antics bring. I know people who've met their best friends through this band.


Immature, maybe, but they're 15-16 year old girls. They're not music critics, just teenaged girls being teenaged girls and getting a kick out of making inside jokes about a band they enjoy. Nothing wrong or abnormal about that.

I honestly respect this. I still feel the obsession is a bit overboard and the video is not exactly fun to watch but I am sure it was fun for them to make. All Time Low have some good work so I guess I will see things your way.

Better than them being Justin Beiber, Cobra Starship, or Hot Chelle Rae fan girls.

So... "Posi Pop Punk Kids" just like to say the names of things they enjoy?

I honestly don't see how its better. Same thing.

I hate to admit but I stay "I am stoked" rather often and I never really knew why. I mean I guess it was just common growing up. I like The Wonder Years and I get these videos are intended to be taken as a joke but she has too much energy for her own good.

I'm going to defend Dirty Work a little bit here. Heroes and Guts are two of my favourite ATL songs, the rest of the album may be meh and a total sell out but they can still make a good song.

Besides some of the DW hate in here, everything has already been said :/
