A lot of bands that I hear a "buzz" about…stuff that I'm sure is probably pretty good and I would like, but somehow when I hear for the 100th time that they're so GREAT or AMAZING it just drives me nuts.

I take overrated to mean "as rated by critics."

Popularity doesn't rate a band, the media does.
