One of the most successful pop-punk acts of their day, the group from Indiana with classics such as "San Dimas High School Football Rules" and their cover of "The Boys of Summer

@vapid crescent another good band to see in a sweaty basement

[jaunty onyx]

dude so long astoria is so good

esp takeoffs and landings

also my obscurify profile does say something

[steady sable]

its overly relatable for me as no one likes those roadtrip songs quite like someone from the midwest

[jaunty onyx]

the relatability of the album rivals this is why from paramore

and thats saying something

meaningful lyrics with a nostalgic undertone

[steady sable]

and same with san dimas... sorta

i went to a massive high school in an urban area with a class of 925, so stuff like running off with our parents cars wasnt a thing since few of us drove and fewer had an actual reason to, so i always thought that was like THE suburban midwest HS song since i have cousins who went to less urban schools

[jaunty onyx]

i kinda wish i was a high schooler in the 2000s

it all seems... great

nowadays everyone is hyper-hyper-hyperfocused on college

no time for enjoyment cuz like oh i have this extracurricular

[steady sable]

Yea, the year and a half of HS precovid had us doing some stupid stuff tho, but we had city life’s to keep up

We recreated the dance scene from breakfast club in my hs

[jaunty onyx]

i hate high school because of this
