''The Young and the Hopeless'' is the second studio album by American rock band Good Charlotte. Produced by Eric Valentine, the album was released on October 1, 2002, in the United States by Epic and Daylight Records. The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics, but was a major commercial success, going triple platinum in the United States. The album spawned five singles, three of which—"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", "The Anthem", and "Girls & Boys"—crossed over from modern rock radio to pop radio. In support of the record, the band toured exhaustively, mounting two arena tours in one year. ==Background== Good Charlotte formed in 1996 as "in a garage as starving kids, barely making ends meet."〔 After leaving their home state of Maryland, Good Charlotte were signed to Epic imprint Daylight Records and released their debut album, ''Good Charlotte'' (2000). It did not sell as well as the label hoped, and the group were nearly dropped from the label.〔 Upon entering the studio, Joel Madden recalled, "we wanted a hit record, to do something big and important." Eric Valentine often played mediator between the band members, who could often bicker during pre-production.〔 According to Benji Madden, the band were not shy about desiring to make the pop charts: "The Anthem" was written after producers of an unspecified movie asked for a song to include on the soundtrack.〔McMahon, ed. 2015, p. 20〕 The song was rejected by the producers however.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Young and the Hopeless」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
