Why oh why? A question about Hinder?

Question

Why do the critics bash a band like Hinder? I know their songs are not deep and meaningful, but they make you want to sing along and dance. Plus, Austin Winkler is sexy and charismatic.

Answer 1

Any rock band that writes ballads is going to take some heat. The conception is that a sappy ballad is easier to write than a more serious song, which is certainly true lyrically, but it does still take talent to pair it to catchy music that people will actually want to listen to.

Personally I don't like Hinder but don't let critics or anyone else influence you.
