I first came across them probably as they hit the first sort of "big": when "hip teens" start talking about them and playing covers at open mic nights. Because of that, they've always had the association in my mind of folk catering to the popular music crowd, as ButterflyEffect described. They've gotten bigger since, to no surprise, and, also not surprisingly, most of those "hip teens" who were talking about them and playing them a few years ago are now the people who hate on them endlessly.
