It says the title text stated that the text wasn't written by teenagers. As it appears now, it just says "This is true. The lyrics are ridiculous". Nothing about the age of the people who wrote them (although knowing how such singers work, I seriously doubt that any of the group actually wrote anything themselves. Which not to say that the person who wrote it for them <i>was</i> a teenager either.

I think it's also important to note that the band members were in their mid-20's when they released this song (23-25, according to Wikipedia). Still a tad bit too old to be singing about teen angst, but not quite as "ridiculous" as if they were in their 30's.

:I think this is the "correct" interpretation of Simple Plan's work (if such a thing exists). I'm pretty sure they're catering to a teenage audience, relating to them in a way that lets them know "it's OK to have these feelings, you may think you're the only one hurting but you're not". Expecting 16 year-olds to have the musical talent and experience to perform these songs on a worldwide platform, let alone compose them, is a bit unreasonable in my opinion; so of course the artists were in their 20s at the time. In the comic, I think Cueball thinks the artists are manchildren, but another possible interpretation is that Cueball understands that they're young adults catering to teenagers, and his sudden disgust stems from insecurity and embarrassment in light of the realization that the band are better people than him for genuinely trying to be relatable to teenagers rather than mocking them.
