They were more popular with the teeny bopper crowd, like middle school aged kids. They had a few hits but they weren't huge. I do remember they had enough hits for a block of just their music videos for an episode of Loaded, a show on fuse (or maybe then it was still muchmusicusa?) that was a half hour block dedicated to one bands music videos. I remember the song "Pretty Girl" being EVERYWHERE for a while and there being two different music videos for "Memory."

It really was pop punk's heyday wasn't it?

Low mid-tier alternative band…I think when I saw them live at the local radio festival they were mid afternoon on a side stage.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat actually - they sound vaguely familiar...
OP, there were a lot of pop-punk bands around that time. A LOT. You'd see entire festival line-ups that were pretty much just 100 pop-punk bands, a bit of ska, and maybe some nu-metal thrown in.
These guys probably had a following that any guitar band today would die for, but due to the sheer level of competition, didn't really capture wide attention.

>He's a boxing champion, and that's putting it lightly.
Mayweather is such a great boxer that he can beat up women and dodge the court cases similarly to how he dodged the Pacqiuao for several years.
The guy can taut his record all he likes but his cherry picked victories mean nothing to people who actually care about boxing being a competitive sport.

I remember seeing the video for "Memory" all over the music channels (on real TV!) in 2004. I even bought Palm Trees and Power Lines. Didn't see/hear them much before or after that though.

Oh they’re great, they’re a pop punk band. I’d definitely check out their 2001 album “Start Static” It’s one of my favorite albums ever.

It's possible, but I don't recall hearing any of that. It wouldn't surprise me, though, since he doesn't mind being the bad guy. He's just really self-conscious about the illiteracy thing.

Weird.
I was around at the time and never heard of this band before. I don't know, maybe--maybe--the name sounds familiar, but yeah, no clue.

Is he also the dude that parks his Bentley in handicap spots and just pays the fines, laughing at people who call him out on it and gets his entourage to make you go away?

For me it's more "Mayweather trained who? For what?"
I don't even like boxing, but have to admit that Mayweather is definitely talented. He's a boxing champion, and that's putting it lightly. You may or may not recall the rumors from 5 years back or so where he was assumed to be functionally illiterate. He's also known for walking around with bags full of cash.

Google or just move on if you don’t care lol. It’s not quirky or cute to show off your lack of pop culture knowledge. No one is expected to know everything and everyone, but flaunting your ignorance is silly.

I've had the same pair of JBL buds for like 4 years now. I've tried newer models and the new galaxy ones, and always go back to the older JBLs. I just bought another pair of over ears for my switch that are super comfy and sound reducing for like 30 on sale from amazon, too. I think JBL makes the best of what I have tried, and they are usually decently priced.

I have AKG k52 and k72.
They are fantastic for the price. Incredibly sturdy and comfortable to wear.
Since go over your ears, noisy environments are not a problem.
edit: NVM, you want earbuds. I would just buy cheap Sony ones with those smartphone controls they cost around 20€ and spending much more on earbuds does not give you great returns in audio quality anyways.

Not only was I "around" at the time but I was working in the music industry.
And I've never heard of them.
