Yeah they did go from not cool to cool. When they first blew up people didn’t like the singles and they were associated with the Matchbox 20 et all of the time. Then everyone heard the rest of the record

i think i was too young to pay attention to if they were cool when they first came out, i only heard jumper on the radio and loved it! but i think that first self titled is i think widely understood to be a masterpiece by younger current bands

I was 21 when it came out and they were mostly viewed as cringe initially, it took a little while and then they developed a big following in indie world

Yo, actually, Matchbox 20 has some epic songs. "You Won't Be Mine" is heartbreakingly good.
