Right.
Now Busted have split up, maybe it is time to re-evaluate the band. YES they were Pop people dressed in "rock" clothes
YES they barely looked 18
YES they sang songs about simple stuff (Air Hostess?)

However...
YES they never claimed they were rock, they just liked it
YES they were a breath of fresh air in boy bands
YES they made good Pop music.
YES they didn't outstay their welcome (Westlife: STOP)

So why did people HATE them? I could understand liking them. But HATE? Bit extreme don't you think?
So what were people's opinion on them? And if you HATE them, why?
