Schleprok: “Hey dude, let’s write another album.”
Matt: “Ok, bra. What should we write about dawg?”
Schleprok: “Well, as proved by our last record we already have no lyrical credibility, or any real essence to our songs, or any substantial message we want to convey. I think we should do the same thing this time because it seemed to work.”
Matt: “Oh ok. But dawg, don’t you want to maybe make a new, better record?”
Schleprok: “Naw, homie… Let me lay it out for ya: We are totally in with the pre-teens and naïve high schoolers because we wrote that song where we dropped names like Death Cab for Cutie, Dashboard Confessional, and Bright Eyes. That means we’re cool because we know underground music. Get it? Ok, check it a little further: What’s cool now? FUCKING MYSPACE, DAWG! We’ll write a fucking song about Myspace!”
Matt: “…dude… Fucking. Brilliant.”
Schleprok: “I know dude! I know. But here’s an even better concept – now stay with me, it gets a little tricky. We write a concept album about high school, and we name each of the songs after a class period; and we even have songs called “Lunch,” “Study Hall,” and “Detention.”
Matt: “Hmmm… you lost me.”
Schleprok: “It’s all good brosef! Don’t worry about it. Even though it’s the lamest concept album ever, we still have that song about Myspace. Plus we play live instruments, albeit badly, but that totally has cred with these gullible emo kids with goofy haircuts. Guitars are cool – don’t you forget it.”
Matt: “Ok, ok. I’m on board. Well, what else should we write about?”
Schleprok: “Hmmph… I hadn’t really thought past that Myspace song about getting a new friend request… Well, besides Myspace and guitarsts, what do emo kids like?
Matt: “Well, they like –”
Schleprok: “OH SHIT DUDE! Sorry, but I totally thought of the tightest flow ever. Check me: ‘We put the F-U in fun!’ What d’ya think?”
Matt: “…dude… Fucking. Brilliant.”
Schleprok: “I know dude! Ok, so here’s what else I just thought of: Emo kids like feeling pain, heartache, cutesy shit, and alienation. So what if we relate to them by talking about feeling pain, heartache, cutesy shit, and alienation? Also, we’ll talk about high school drama, like how I loved the prom queen, but she didn’t like me because I’m a whiny pussy. I’m pretty sure that’ll work.”
Matt: “Yeah, sounds good. And you know what else?”
Schleprok: “Huh?”
Matt: “Dude… we should totally feature emo bands on our new record, like Will from The Academy Is… and Pat from Fall Out Boy.
Schleprok: “OH SNAP, BITCH! That’s the best idea yet… well, after the Myspace song. Ok, I think that’s good because featuring guests like that will deter listeners away from our truly ghastly musicianship. I mean, let’s face it, I can’t flow, you can’t drum, and we write some really bad fucking beats.”
Matt: “Oh dude, don’t worry. Our fans don’t seek out quality hip-hop, but settle for the first thing that mentions emo shit. It’ll be cool, man – trust me. Besides, I bet most of our listeners still live with their parents, haven’t graduated high school, and know nothing about the world outside of suburbia.”
Schleprok: “Phat.”
Matt: “Word.”

hahahahahaha awesome.
I never really liked this band, but last year I bought one of their zip ups at a show they were on, because everyone was skipping over them and I felt pretty bad that they didn't get at least one person at their merch table while I was standing there (and I was there for quite some time) plus, they seemed like really nice guys. I don't wear that zip up, though.

You play to win the game.
No no! It really is as terrible as they make it! My 11 year old niece writes rhymes better than these guys.

Agreed, mindless amusing music. Maybe I shouldn't like it, but it's so damn catchy.
