And that is why they're bad bands. Anything that is remotely good will inspire people to be creative, to emulate yet experiment. They'll be remembered 20 years down the road. Jack White? He'll probably be remembered and people will still enjoy his music. The bands I've listed? They'll only be remembered for being awful. That's part of the problem though. They're awful bands that are easily marketable. They're out there to make the music industry a quick buck and they prove that band, easy formulas are the way to do it. In my opinion, that's 100 times more damaging to the world of music than anything Jack White has done.None of them had/will have any particular longterm influence.
