"The Young and The Hopeless" is a single by rock band Good Charlotte released in 2003. The Young and the Hopeless is also the title track for the album the song featured in. The lyrics refer to being stuck in hard times with no one to help you.
In the song, the band talks about the criticism that "critics" and "trust fund kids" gave them about what genre they were. When Good Charlotte saw them face to face, "they had nothing to say," inferring that they criticise them elsewhere but not infront of the band. The line in the song goes "These critics, and these trust fund kids, try to tell me what punk is, but when I see them on the street they got nothing to say."
The song peaked at #28 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and #34 on the UK Singles Chart.
[edit] Trivia
- This song was used as the theme song to the Lonely Island's hit The 'Bu, a comedy TV show poking fun at The O.C.
- This is the first music video that Benji & Joel Madden had a hand in directing.
- Benji Madden sings the second verse in the song. As of 2007, this is the only single the band have released where Benji sings lead instead of back-up, and one of two singles that feature someone other than Joel singing lead.
