I think that maybe Confide are worse than Brokencyde.
Brokencyde looks downright quaint next to Attack Attack! though.
What teenagers listen to is fascinating.

@2 tough call. i think Confide's attempt at covering Postal Service is far more damning, but Attack Attack! manage to bring music to a new low without juxtaposing it against one of the most popular indie hits of the decade.
but really, all three are just plain embarrassing.

Brian, did you see the comment a member of AA! left on the Buddyhead interview online site? Ahh, to be young, ambitious, AND ridiculous. They're a real triple threat. Great interview by the way!

@5: Millionaires are awful to be sure, but they aren't breaking new ground in terrible like Attack Attack!, Brokencyde, and Confide are. Female vocal groups who use slightly naughty language are a well-worn blueprint at this point.
But maybe they are worse in that they're less entertaining and slightly more bland and boring. Maybe you're on to something.

Also, the Millionaires' rise to prominence puts the Police Teeth song title "Who Wants To Fuck A Millionaire?" in a completely different context.

@4 well, now i have. kudos to the dude for being strong enough in his convictions to actually leave his name and not post anonymously like so many trolls tend to...
my first piece of advice for Attack Attack! and other young bands: don't do Google searches of your band name if you can't take some criticism.
