Gabe and Pete have their weekly music debate...
So Gabe, have you heard the news? The Get Up Kids are breaking up! Oh my god, I'm heartbroken!
Yeah, I heard. I don't care though, really.
WHAT?? How do you not care? They are like, the forerunners of emo!
Forerunners? Are you kidding me? Yeah I admit, they're pretty influential... but you forgot Rites Of Spring, Embrace, and uh... Fugazi? I'd say THEY were the forerunners of emo music.
I've never heard of those bands. Fuga-who? Oh wait... I do know that band, their singer was that guy who coined "straight line", that no drugs thing, right?
Pete, I rest my case.
