If you're gonna tell them, tell the whole story.
It's an emo/punk band that we somehow became friends with, despite never having met them (except in passing). We're no good at making real music, so we decided it would be a good laugh to write a bunch of cruddy emo ****e and play it to the dyed-hair/cut-wrists audience. It'll be funny because no one will get the joke but us.
