I remember listening to a Bowling For Soup album a few years ago and every other song was basically “I hate my girlfriend, but I stay with her so people don’t think I’m gay” and I suddenly understood why they were a one hit winder
Everyone has their niche. I found out recently that BFS were fucked over by their label (Sony) releasing a compilation album without their knowledge, so they rerecorded all their songs and under their own label, effectively giving themselves the sole rights to their work, and then released Songs People Actually Liked – I respect their attitude

They had way more than one hit…
Also, their whole schtick was being immature. Not surprising their music was immature.
