What the kids R into

Tokio Hotel,
a band from Leipzig, Germany got fans, mostly teenage girls screaming especially for Bill Kaulitz.

KELEFA SANNEH
of the NY Times writes:
"The occasion was the first New York performance by Tokio Hotel, a German act that scrambles musical categories in a way that feels ideally suited to the current era. Why shouldn’t fans go nuts for a goth-punk boy band influenced by the darkly theatrical love songs of HIM (from Finland) and AFI (from California) and led by a sexy androgyne with spectacular hair?"

Too commercial and pop? Or refreshingly post-emo upbeat?
