Music scene and "popularity" was different then since not everyone had a great internet connection and we were still at the tail end of the brick and mortar stores selling CDs. It also varied depending on your region because getting a single on the radio or on whatever music tv channel in your local market was dependent on record company marketing strategy and budget whereas now anyone with a popular enough YouTube following can self publish and get millions of views. Lots of pop punk bands at the time like Sugarcult such that they were dime a dozen: Lit, Treble Charger, American Hi Fi, All American Rejects, Sum 41 etc etc. because record companies were really cashing in. Listen to basically any teen comedy soundtrack of the 2000s and its all gonna be this type of stuff. Sugarcult had a couple international singles and then dropped off the face of the Earth from what I remember.
