4	3 Doors Down are an American rock band from Escatawpa, Mississippi, who blasted their way onto the music scene with their debut album, ''The Better Life'', featuring the hit single "[[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kryptonite]]".
5
6	The band formed in 1996 and has continued making quality rock ever since. Many fans and critics have noted that 3 Doors Down manages to make music that's gritty and emotional ''without'' falling into the trap of {{Wangst}}, and their greatest hits have become anthems for millions of people.
7	----
8	!!This band provides examples of:
9	* The90s: The band formed in 1996.
10	* BreakupSong: "Here Without You" and "Let Me Go", if the titles are not obvious enough.
11	* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Brad Arnold first got the drumbeat for "Kryptonite"--and began musing about the lyrics and the themes behind them--in the middle of his high school math class (he was creating the drumbeat with his pencil), later noting that math was the subject during which he'd always drifted off.
12	* {{Eagleland}}: Firmly in Type 1. The band does a very admirable job of celebrating and raising funds for the members of the United States military. "Citizen/Soldier" is a prime example. They've also done extensive charity work to help the people of the Gulf Coast.
13	* GrowingUpSucks: "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin When You're Young]]", especially the first stanza.
14	* NonAppearingTitle: "Love Is A Lie" never actually says "love is a lie"; it tells the subject of the song, "''your'' love ''was'' a lie".
15	* PostGrunge: They came out when this trend was in full swing, yet have managed to remain relatively successful [[DeadHorseGenre once it faded]].
16	* ReligionRantSong: "Ticket to Heaven"
17	* SelfTitledAlbum: Which, in contrast to most examples of this trope, is actually their ''fourth'' studio effort rather than their debut.
18	* SingleMomStripper: The female lead of the "Let Me Go" music video turns out to be one.
19	* SlutShaming: The male lead of the "Let Me Go" music video does this to his girlfriend at school after he found out that she's a stripper. When he finds out that she [[SingleMomStripper has a child to support]], he clearly seems guilty.
