It's a bit rarer when the chord patterns turn out not to be terribly dissonant when superimposed over one another as well, though. Plus, at least most artists I listen to change up the tempo from time to time in their songs.

Also in BarelySeeAtAll's defence I don't think he was trying to imply that all of the artists he mentioned were whiny, just MCR. It's still a pretty dumb list though, because, as already mentioned, Oasis, Gorillaz and Muse are legions better than MCR.
