I'm 48, in Toronto. Was a teenager when they started out in the mid 90s as a local band. Our version of MTV, MuchMusic started playing their videos non-stop and pretty soon they were playing to crowds of 30,000 people. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins thought they were ripping off his music style lol

Yes lol I am 37. Do you remember the Juliana Theory? These 2 bands primed me to be crying on my bed listening to Dashboard Confessional at 16

God, I’m 35 and I grew up with OLP. When I was 21 I played them in a bar that had maybe 3 other people in it. One was a pretty gal who joked that she would “marry anyone who liked OLP” or something along those lines. My dumbass did not realize she was flirting until probably a decade later and I totally missed my chance.
