A Simple Plan- A Pop-Punk Icon and my Risingstar Report 9/18/2023

A Simple Plan is the Pop-Punk band that helped ignite the early 2000s movement. A Simple Plan was a commerical success during the Pop-Punk revolution, and their work helped bridge the gap between pop music fans and alternative fans of all ages. I enjoy the sound of A Simple Plan, and still listen to them over 2-decades later.
A Simple Plan released their first studio album "No pads, no helmets... just balls" in 2002 as other Pop-Punk bands including Good Charlotte and Blink-182 were solidifying the movement. Green Day had just released an album as well, and A Simple Plan helped make the movement even more mainstream with their pop lyrics and punk guitar solos.
Like many of the punk bands I have highlighted including Rancid and Less Than Jake, A Simple Plan has a distinct sound, genuine lyrics and short songs. A Simple Plan has a definite melodic and simple almost Emo sound that fit in with bands that swayed Emo including Fallout Boy. A Simple Plan had several breakout singles including "I'm Just a Kid" and "I'd do Anything" which fit with the target audience of younger Pop-Punk rockers who may have been introduced to Punk bands like Rancid.
A Simple Plan was founded in 1999 and released an album just last year. Their first studio album is now over two decades old, and has been celebrated by at least two tours.
My Risingstar Report 9/18/2023:
I decided to purchase 5- NFT packs this morning and have also made it a mission to focus more on music lessons, as my ego score has a bad habit of increasing steadily throughout the day.
As a level 30 player of Risingstar, I am making the decision to be more mindful of my faucet claims and to purchase more NFT packs. The ability to make a few claims of 1,000+ Starbits daily is an awesome opportunity. I want to keep focusing on moving through the Gig Circuit, and it looks like the next milestone is level 40 for missions.
I may decide to go for the one million Starbits special mission. This is tempting, and I could claim 10,000 Starbits daily from this endeavor. What do you think? Should I go all in on this?
