Bouncing off the Walls was everywhere, but you probably didn't know the band's name. Just within their genre, they were competing against Blink 182, Sum 41, Offspring, and Green Day. They also would've been overshadowed by Evanescence, Seether, Shinedown, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Puddle of Mudd, Three Doors Down, System of a Down, Godsmack, Nickelback, Saliva, and Breaking Benjamin on pop radio and music video channels. And that's only their competition from the rock genre, plenty of rap and r&b was on the pop channels as well.

I'd probably put Sugarcult on par with a band like Bowling for Soup or Smashmouth, minus Smashmouth's extended longevity as a meme. A couple widely recognized songs, probably enough success to make a decent living, but never getting enough traction to really become famous.
