There was no living creature as foul as Chiodos, and all of their poems were… actually Shakespeare sonnets? Anyways, we’re here talking about Chiodos and there’s a whole lot to say about it. The screaming, the stabbing, the high pitched voices, the breakdowns, and the rumors floating around our high school that their name was pronounced Chiodos and not Chiodos. Get it straight people.
On the surface, the music video for Baby, You Wouldn’t Last a Minute on the Creek is kind of nonsense, but after heavily discussing the weird ubiquity of Chiodos among our hip hop friends, we got to the bottom of the meaning of it. It’s drugs, people… Zip Zop Zooey, the kids love me.

With all the metalcore and neon era pop punk that happened in the early 2000’s, it’s easy to forget about the outliers that were actually a much bigger freakin deal than the bands we talk about week after week. One of those outliers (see also: mega successful solo artists) was Christopher Drew of nevershoutnever!
Spawning a whole era of straight hair, hands in pockets, cutest cutesy boys, NSN wrote some super catchy songs that made their way into the hearts of many who then repressed the urge sing them at the top of their lungs for fear of being made fun of. Or at least that’s what we felt like at the time.
Anyways! We take some time today to sing some praises, as well as discuss the music video which leads to a lot of conversation about the first time we held hands with our first crushes.

Hot off the tail of the Dance, Dance music video, This Ain’t a Scene shows a whole different side of the story for Fall Out Boy. The boys experience fame, wealth, tabloids, fake bulges, scandals, and everyone’s dream of trashing a hotel room (except for Tom and Pat, they’re too post-catholic to handle that kind of guilt). But it turns out it kinda sucks? We think that’s the narrative of this 2 part music video?
Either way, it’s a super fun ride that the guys break apart piece by piece while indulging in personal stories of nightmares and that one time they “trashed” a DC hotel room.

In a world where music videos are a dying art, a symbol of past generations, Fall Out Boy has managed to break the mold and put out absolutely incredible videos, see also: high-concept, cinematic masterpieces. Thanks Alan Ferguson!
Dance, Dance saw CRAZY numbers across album sales and billboard charts (we’re talking All-American Rejects numbers here, people!), and possibly the greatest feather in this song’s cap is the ‘Jane Eyre’ adaptation performed in the music room by Tom and other member’s of their class.
Pat and Tom each talk about Prom-posals as well as deep regrets from their senior year formal. Then Tom tries to say he doesn’t really like this song that much, but we all know he does. Everyone loves this song…
