Good Charlotte, The Used, AFI, Simple Plan, etc

I also feel that good charlotte and simple plan are absolutly horrible. I used to hate emo/punk - my roommate would play incubus 24/7 and I ended up punching him and getting in a verbal fight with him over it.. it pissed me off so much. However, that changed when I heard finch; they rock. I don't really think you can group the used and afi in the same catagory as those two other bands.. the used has a few good songs as does afi - although, I tend to favor bands like finch, linkin park, phantom planet, the june spirit, the ataris, boxcar racer, and incubus. If you honestly listen to these guys indepentantly of good charlotte and simple plan they might grow on you.. as they did on me. I'd say I have a pretty broad spectrum of musical taste, I try not to limit myself to just one genre or whats cool at the time.. I just don't have enough time to do that in this life. I love bands like distpatch, DMB, OAR, mayer, jack johnson.. I love jazz.. from time to time i listen to classical.. to me its alot like trance/dnb in the idea that the invoke different experiences they tell a story with the absence of words.. I love 80s when im partying.. I really like Dashboard Confessional's acoutics.. before they went huge on mtv.. specifically songs like swiss army romance and handsdown. NIN, tool, aphex twin, and squarepusher are also big on my playlist. I love trance especially when im thinking about something just helps me think I guess.. I mostly listen to dnb, tiesto, and the gemini projeckts.
But most importantly i'd say you have to open up a bit more. The fact that you grouped the used in the same catagory as those two other bands says alot. Anyone who is familar with the genre would know that.
