That still isn’t a demo I think would be into Smashmouth. Smashmouth always seemed like stoner hackeysack dude music, so I can imagine some now normie dude who used to wear a drug rug and Rasta hat in college being into them but not some guy trying to larp as an outlaw biker being into it.
Smashmouth's demo was really broad when they came out. Pop stations, alternative stations, and modern rock stations all carried them. For younger people, they were big in Shrek movies. Older folks would have heard them pretty much anywhere, and those folks are now in their 50s, losing their hair, guts are expanding, etc. So a perfect age for a nostalgia hit.
People that actively listen to Lenny kraviz and John legend listen to smash mouth. Now I’ve never actually meet anyone who actively listens to any of those artist but I’m sure they exist
As the only smash mouth defender on this site I should add that there were multiple bands that performed at this rally and they were just the lightning rod for the backlash. That being said the lead singer has a phd in microbiology so out of all them they're ones who definitely should have known better.

They did a show at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and there were 260,000 COVID cases traced to the rally.
On the Venn diagram of “bikers” and “smash mouth fans” what’s the overlap?
Sturgis gets a lot of "plumbers who ride bikes on the weekends" types, who are pretty normie, and they remember Smashmouth.

Shut your mouth. John Legend might be an absolute lib but Get Lifted, Wake up! and Evolver are amazing albums.

Can you imagine working in the same department as the Smash Mouth guy?
He has co-workers? I thought there was only one chef in Flavortown
