We still love you all. We’re just tired and enjoying time with our families.

Not only have they been cranking out some of the best music we’ve ever heard since the early 90s, but they even gave us Fueled by Ramen, so put some respect on the name! While The Science of Selling Yourself Short isn’t the most feel-good song of all time, it’s an absolutely killer track with a super trippy and amazing music video that is deserving of so much more than we could ever give it.

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music PodcastReinventing Your Exit by UnderøathOur first foray into the early 2000’s insanity that was Christian metalcore, Christ-core for short, lands us at the “Reinventing Your Exit” music video by a band that has recently renounced their religious affiliation, Underøath. They’re Only Chasing Safety walked so that albums like Someday Came Suddenly could sprint at freak-like speeds. Still, there’s something about Underøath’s first effort with new vocalist Spencer Chamberlain that has yet to be replicated by any band since.

Then Tom gets really sweaty and talks about a kid getting slapped while trying to sleep at his 14th birthday party. Idk. Back to Jimmy Eat World In 2001, the record industry turned their back on James and they retaliated by releasing one of the biggest songs of the year, The Middle, which stands for the finger they gave to Capitol Records for dropping them just a couple of...

This is a band that, honestly, neither of us have ever listened to before YouTube shoved this thing down our throats for months, but who are we to question the algorithm? it always knows best. This banger from 2012 has become a staple on emo Twitter/meme culture, largely due to its absolutely incredible music video of some scrappy young bank tellers who make a grown man piss his pa...

Andrew McMahon graces our screens with some sensible slacks, no shoes, and multiple microphones. There’s not much to the video, a few dudes being dudes, hanging out in Canda on a day off from touring. They seem both exhausted and energized by the camera lenses pointed at them, and they deliver a totally fun performance and some oh-so-relatable yard game shots.

This record has a bit of everything, but what it possibly has the most of is a bunch of talking and introducing themselves on the opening track “Little Things”, which honestly we think they pull off pretty well. In this episode, we break down the music video and tell stories about public school, and one time Tom gave an autographed school photo of himself to a celebrity for some unknown reason.

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music Podcast169. Detroit by FireworksEvery now and then you’ll come across a song that was written for you and you alone. Nothing has ever made more sense than the lyrics, the vibe is tuned just to your frequency, and the emotions hit like a ton of bricks. Detroit by Fireworks is one of those songs for Tom. The angst was high through the summers of 2009 and 2010, and Fireworks, a pair of headphones, and a fixed gear bike helped make sense of the world. This episode is full of nostalgic tales of midnight rides, anger walks after mom was being a total B, an...

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music PodcastThe Curse of Curves by Cute is What We Aim ForHow was such a great song paired with such a misguided music video? Pat and Tom make an attempt to break down all that went wrong in the music video for The Curse of Curves, but there’s almost nothing to even say. There’s a lot of hair, no food, the most awkward glances you’ve ever seen in your life, and poison that has the ability to throw you backwards in your chair. Exactly no more and no less in this video, but Tom’s wife suggests a shocking alternative ending that may have shaken things up just eno...

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music PodcastDear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low Made Us Steal a CarAttempts were made to discuss the music video for Dear Maria, Count Me In at length, but the episode quickly corrected course into an insane road trip Pat and Tom took in 2008 using a fake All Time Low and Brand New concert in Pittsburgh as an alibi to take Pat’s Mom’s car for 24 hours. However, the guys never had any intention on going to Pittsburgh, instead ending up hundreds of miles away to see a girl in Central Pennsylvania who ended up not being home. Already 300 miles beyond where they said they’d be, the guys drove anothe...

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music PodcastSugar, We're Goin Down by Fall Out Boy, the Music VideoThe year is 2005, and pop punk is taking over the radio waves. The guitars are heavy, the bass is thrashing, and the lyrics are coming atcha fast. At the center of all of this was Fall Out Boy with the massive hit ‘Sugar We’re Goin Down’. Even the kids in our high school who didn’t like rock were singing this in the hallways. It was everywhere. It’s the song that turned Tom and Pat’s high school band into what it was, and if there’s anything that’s better than this song, it’s most definitely the mus...

It’s truly 1 in a billion. To have so much happiness, poppiness, and brutal breakdownness all in 1 album is still mind bending to this day. We had never heard anything like it at the time, causing a massive shift in the landscape of pop punk moving forward. Pat and Tom take their time appreciating every song on this album for the subtleties that made each track unique and interesting. How this album remained at an 11 the whole ti...

There’s a lot to love about this song that almost didn’t even make it on to the record because the band had such little confidence in it. The music video could easily warrant a 20,000 word thesis, but I’ve got like 1,000 characters so let’s move quickly. This thing...

But one band was vulnerable enough to stand up and say, hey, maybe we can get ourselves out of this mess. This band was The Wonder Years, and the album that changed it all was The Upsides. This record came out when we seemed to need it the most. We were just started college, getting our first taste of homesickness, and were just starting to seriously doubt our choices and the integrity of the futures we were starting to build for ourselves...

After the release of ‘Riot’ in 2007, the band experienced a meteoric rise to fame, and they brought their debut album ‘All We Know is Falling’ along with them.

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music PodcastAlive with the Glory of Love by Say AnythingSay Anything is a band that deserves way more love and respect than they got, and probably even more than we were able to give them on this episode. Alive With the Glory of Love was culturally an important song, not just because Tom skanked to it at his wedding in 2018, but primarily for the way it was used in Scrubs to emphasize one of the most pivotal moments on the show (check out our blog post below!) Somehow Say Anything has managed to keep itself from most people’s Mount Rushmore’s of culturally impactful and mean...

Somehow 150 episodes have gone by without the attention it deserves. The band released 1 single platinum album in the early 2000s, and while one of the guys didn’t take to it immediately, it ended up rattling both of their worlds for years to come.

Reminiscent | A Pop Punk and Emo Music PodcastShe Hates Me by Puddle of MuddShe Hates Me may be regarded as the last viral, word of mouth song that’s ever existed. Tom and Pat recall schoolyard talk about a song that’s an absolute bop, but also like, swears a whole lot! It blew their 10 year old minds, even if they couldn’t fully relate to the relationship-gone-stale storyline of the song. All things considered, this song is an absolute banger (in the vacuum of melody, music, and ability to scream the chorus with a group of friends), and the video is just the cherry on top.
