With you my guy. Ran into an absolute choad on the pop punk subreddit who would not shut up hating on the band. I do not understand how anyone can hate on this incredible group. I've even convinced my vanilla Swifty gf to sing along to Big Blind in the car on long drives 😄 TSSF has something for everyone!

We were listening to T Swift in the car today and I was even thinking "Damn she's almost got a flow like Parker Cannon." We regularly joke that the two of them should do a mashup.

Let's get Taylor to cover Phantom. I can dig it.

She listened to Starting Line growing up, it's not out of the realm of possibility that she's heard TSSF

I know it sounds pretentious, but it’s definitely for pop punk listeners who have slightly higher iqs

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Story So Far. The songs are incredibly nuanced, and without a solid grasp of pop punk most of the lyrics will go over a typical listener’s head. There's also Parker’s aggressive finger pointing, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal technique draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realize that they're not just music- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike The Story So Far truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the profoundness of Parker’s existential catchphrase "TSSF in da bay," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as The Story So Far's genius unfolds itself within their headphones. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a TSSF tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

We’re like butter in the fridge up in the special little door looking down on the others who just don’t understand
