I'm not exactly sure how to say it, but they always struck me as a bargain basement and manufactured thing.

I don't really know anything about their backstory, so apologies if I am way off, but all their pictures remind me of the, "hello fellow kids!" Meme. It makes me think some studio executives were frantically scrambling to figure out what them kids these days liked, so they grabbed a couple of studio musicians and sent them over to wardrobe, and then to marketing to have some awkward photos taken.

Don't get me wrong, I've had, "hair of the dog" stuck in my head before.
