Cancel culture. For instance, the band was slated to play in Pittsburgh Friday, but after apparently losing the original venue, frontman Chris Taylor Brown took to social media to say the show would go on while, again, blaming cancel culture.

The controversy escalated when the band's official account responded to a fan's inquiry about upcoming shows by stating that venues were canceling their bookings due to cancel culture. This claim was met with widespread skepticism and ridicule online, with many pointing out that the band's limited popularity and the lead singer Steve Harwell's retirement due to health issues were more likely reasons for their booking difficulties. Critics on social media suggested that the band was out of touch and that their struggles were not due to cancel culture but rather a decline in demand for their performances.
