realm with this quiz here

Okay the basic part of me wants to say Pac Sun even
thought I don't shop there, I wanna be like
basic really bad.
That's exactly my first thought too.

The Jam, Bad Religion, The Descendants
I'm a poser and I don't listen to any of this,

Alright we're getting more basic as this goes on.
Very basic.
What sport sounds the most appealing to you?
Skateboarding, Surfing, Snowboarding, What are "Sports"?
That's you
No no no no no
I don't want that to be me
[Laughing]
We've done skateboarding together

Yeah
I've never surfed before, or snowboarded.
If you could only listen to one Green Day single
for the rest of your life, it would be...
"American Idiot", "Basket Case", "Good Riddance",
"Minority"
I'm gonna go with "American Idiot"
That's hard.
Yeah but the thing is...okay, like I just
appreciate good quality, like super pristine
recording and that's hte highest quality.
And then I wouldn't wanna be sad all the time so not
"Good Riddance" I don't wanna feel that much.
I could do "Basket Case" as well but...
I was gonna say maybe "Minority"
Ugh you're the minority...
What do you think?
I'll do "American Idiot"
I mean "American Idiot"!
Yeah!
We're all on the same page here
Pick a pop-punk era

'80s, I was born in the '90s, I'm gonna go with
'00s, duh
Here we go, How do you feel about your hometown?
It's the worst
I'm always trying to get out of this town dot dot dot...
Angst
Suburbia is hell
I love suburbia!
I wanna be a basic dad someday in suburbia
It's fine I guess
Where is like "I'm down with it?"
I'm gonna go with "it's fine I guess"
Yeah, I'm not trying to get out.
Straight outta...

You're so punk
Vivacious
Yeah that sounds exotic
If you could trade vocal chords with any of these
performers, who would it be?
I knew Brendon Urie was gonna be here!
I'm picking him, I don't care.
Patrick Stump, I love him
Luke Hemmings, Kary Perry, Brendon Urie
Bren-don Ur-ie
They're all really good
He's the dude
We got to stand outside of a Panic! At The Disco concert once
Like bars, vertical bars right here
This is when we were like promoting outside of shows
like we used to do.
With this mug right here just pressed right in
between bars just staring at Brendon Urie going like
"God he's so cool"
He is!
"Look at him and he's handsome too"
And none of these things are false
But at the same time I really don't wanna tour
with him because he's so much more talented than
all of us.
He can backflip, he's good looking like...
Anyway, Brendon Urie I guess...
[Laughing]
Last question, Of the following, what pop-punk
stereotype do you fully embody?
I love pizza, question mark.
I've been rocking fringe bands since '03
Skinny jeans all day every day
I fall in love with folks who're just not that into me.
Skinny jeans all day every day
Skinny jeans all day every day, everyday
That's such a boring answer
But it's...
It's true.
We got Simple Plan
Did we?
Alright
No one teetered the line between pop-punk all-stars
and pop music phenomena like Simple Plan.
The Canadian punks wrote songs that perfectly
soundtracked adolescence in a way that few others could.
If this is you, you're probably a socially
astute, empathetic person.
That sounds like me
That's you alright
You're always aware of your surroundings...
I'm very paranoid
...and how people treat one another...
I treat everybody very well.
...Your kind spirit makes the world a better place.
"I'd do anything"
Hi we're Simple Plan
Thanks for watching us...
And life is a nightmare...
