A few weeks ago, music fans discovered what is truly in a name, learning the hard way that the moralistic qualifiers of bands like “Good Charlotte” “Neutral Milk Hotel” and “Insane Clown Posse” have some highly-cursed implications, including several adjective-fueled, Wario-like counterparts.
An epiphany stemming from a now-viral D&D alignment chart featuring the aforementioned three bands categorized by levels of goodness, neutrality *or* insanity created by Twitter user @progrockgf, it seems we cracked open Pandora’s linguistic Box, discovering bizarre bastardizations like “Insane Milk Hotel” or “Good Clown Posse”
Yet this categorization seemingly poses more questions than it answers – what does it truly mean to be “Good Charlotte,” “Neutral Milk Hotel” or “Insane Clown Posse”? In a world where everyone either associates clowns with fond memories of the circus or Tim Curry as a murderous spider in It, can a “Neutral Clown Posse” ever exist? Is a “Good Milk Hotel” just a farm-based Bed and Breakfast?
For the sake of science, we decided to find out, digging through each band’s respective decade-spanning history in an attempt to meet this chart’s challenge.
Good Charlotte:
Aside from helping scene kids feel, well, seen, with their moody bangers throughout the mid-2000s, it seems Good Charlotte has kinda lived up to its name. Veeps, a commission-free touring-turned live-streaming company started by brothers and bandmates, Benji and Joel Madden, came in pretty damn clutch at the beginning of the pandemic, helping struggling artists find new streams of income as the live music industry came to a screeching halt.
“We have over 300 artists on the platform, and we had developed a tool to ticket your live stream, and no one really needed that at the time, but it’s become something that everyone’s started using,” Joel Madden told Alternative Press magazine in April 2020. “Now we see people using it more and more every week, really. They’ve optimized the experience of who’s watching, can we communicate with those fans in real time before, during and after, but also we’re seeing bands using it to make money for a charity they’re supporting or a local community charity effort that they’re in or really just supporting their crew that’s at home.”
With their roster at the time ranging from smaller bands to alternative staples including Sleeping with Sirens, Waterparks, and I Prevail, Madden reiterated just how “important” it was for their company to maintain a “commission-free model.”
“It’s very transparent, and the mission of the platform is to help artists survive and help fans have a better experience when they do purchase a VIP ticket or, in this case, live streaming,” the singer added. “We like to think the live streams that are going up on the platform are really thought-out, special experiences elevated from what you may want to broadcast for free while also helping the artists with ticketing,” Madden continued. “We are trying to create a way for everyone to win, and hopefully, it’s empowering and equalizing in a way that artists can have options for how they want to do things.”
