Switchfoot
Finger 11
Nonpoint
Click Five
Coldplay
Crossfade
Yellowcard
Shinedown
...the list goes on...
Seriously, what is the deal with that?

Yellowcard - given in soccer as a penalty
Finger 11 - the extra finger; associated with being out-of-place
Crossfade - an audio effect
Shinedown - light with a source above the area that it is lighting
I have to admit, don't know about the rest, but those ones make perfect sense to me.
Lifehouse seems to be a play on "lighthouse" but with a delicious Christian twist.
Nickelback had something to do with a store in their hometown, yadda yadda.
Also, evidence of these bands being "premanufactured" would be nice. One thing that irritates the shit out of me is music nerd elitism bred in people who listen exclusively to unpopular music because anything popular must suck.
I doubt you're trying to call these bands raw, but that's about as much as I can get out of the term premanufactured.
