I went to a show this band was playing without having heard them before. A room full of people screaming ''But baby, I'm a 90s kid only 90's kids will understand this'' hit me like a lightning bolt. Ended up getting a CD. Been a fan ever since.

Hey That's local news legend

[@siennaamos1916]

i swear all the people who make folk punk are all just one big band with tiny offshoots. pat the bunny for example

[@nickscurvy8635]

this song simultaneously makes me cry while feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness and hope. the feeling that everything is so fucked But maybe, just maybe, it doesn't always have to be like that. and it won't.

[@TheCuriousbubbles]

Right? Im literally laughing thru the tears as i hear this for the first time! Maybe only 90s kids will understand!

[@Jane-oz7pp]

Mood, it always makes me cry even as I'm dancing

[@tylerlabine9360]

the more people the world has the more need o live in poverty. all the degenerate broke breeders are as much to blame as the rich. get read for hate comments from the guilty

[@punkmonks]

This song, this band and all the work Punk With A Camera does is priceless. I am struggling with my epilepsy these days and I'm pretty terrified that I'm gunna have a stroke. I used to travel around busking homeless as fuck on the west coast and now I'm stuck in Orange County CA. I relate to this shit so much. I just wanted to try and reach out and say thanks for existing cuz I know you don't have to.

When I was just a little kid they told me to dream big You can do anything When I got older they told me to stop dreaming Start being more realistic, make the coffee do the dishes But I can't seem to keep my head out of the clouds Cause whats the point of living life To work until I die That can't be it and if it is then I want out And honestly I never had a dream of getting older But here I am what can I do about it, tell me what to do about it now Cause I never wanted to be every single stereotype of a white middle class 20-something pissed at the economy I never meant to be the epitome of a quarter life crisis and being a junkie didn't live up to the hype When I was just a little kid they told me I was special Then I grew up and found out they told that to every single one of us Get addicted to our drugs then go away to universities Where we'll sell you dreams then make you work for free They handed us an economy thats destined us for poverty Then have the nerve to call us soft and lazy for complaining Cause they're from a generation where you could be what you wanted to be But baby I'm a 90's kid, only 90's kids will understand this Got bill collectors calling us to pay back student loans But they can't ever find us if we throw away our phones Then we can sit in diners, drinking coffee smoking cigarettes outside Look in each others' eyes without cell phone lights to hide behind and We can just kick off our shoes and make these sidewalks home We'll write songs and sing for food and we'll never be alone Never be alone, never be alone, never be alone when we're with friends And we'll never owe shit to anyone else No we'll never owe shit to anyone else No we'll never owe shit to anyone else No we'll never owe shit to anyone

[@jazzillion8356]

Thank you Spotify for chucking this band my way. I put their album on repeat for a full day when I discovered them last month!

[@RDRF_SB13]

Found this song at 32. This is like a millenial theme. We are so fucked. I don't think our elders realize how hopelessly depressed we are as in terms of "generational conciousness". We had so much hope, but I feel like we're just shit now. We laugh at our depression. Lol. THANKS MOM!

[@lil_astrid_adderal]

every generation after x is fucked

MY GIRL EMILY AAAAAAAAAAAA

[@ShoshiJay]

[@Samusaranish]

Thank you my boyfriend for introducing me to this awesome band and much more!

[@coralinekozun7325]

I don’t know how I’m JUST discovering y’all, but like...you’re amazing :) I’ve been listening to the album nonstop for like the past few days, and this song in particular, and just...wow :) thanks for this.

[@aaronpinchera3244]

One of my favorite songs, gets a video made by one of my favorite channels, and releases it the day before my birthday? How’d y’all know? but honestly fucking awesome thanks!

[@zacherywilliams5393]

So excited this song got a video.

[@jessicawagner9758]

How the actual f*** did I not think to look up your KZbin channel until now. Ty for making life just that much more tolerable. You are appreciated❤

[@reprisler]

i listened to plate glass apology more than a few times today at work from the diy sessions compilation you sent last week. apes of the state are awesome! just ordered this city isn't big enough from amazon :) hope you tour in Louisiana soon!

[@jamesglenn4151]

This is so good! came on my soundcloud last ngiht andi jsut found this, really good video to! thanks for drasticly improving my week :) youve got fans in the UK! xxx

[@zemapg]

Love this band/love this song - also the guy has such a cute smile at 1:48 ahh

[@Plubilee]

Such a great band. Best fucking music scene in the world! I love seeing all these bands that are so incredible all working together. So sad I can't see you guys in Seattle with Dog Tooth and Nail tonight :/

[@S4PHIRfreak]

my friend showed me this song and I can't quite describe what it makes me feel like but I love it a lot so thanks

[@catherined.6840]

You guys are so talented! I hope you play in Philly again soon, I was so sad I missed your show.

[@croslowpaint]

This actual song changed my mind, significantly. Stage three throat cancer and I damn near went homebum paying for it all. I sincerely considered deading myself so my kids could collect a good check and I would stop suffering. Well shit, it's only suffering if I let it be; the bill collector can fuck off. I'ma go ahead draw debt and live.

[@knumbugs]

We used to call this style "skiffle" back in the day, in England

[@daugtrjudie]

I LOVED this!!! I tried to watch it so many times but phone kept dying. At 1% now. Worth it

[@lksw42439]

This was fucking great!

[@theZbanana]

It's the first time I've commented something like this on the internet but "this song is literally me"

Great vid!

[@jasonpatrick1661]

I love this song

[@BiLdoEMcLown]

Not so sure how I feel about this song... but it's because my name is Bill... which is a lot more rare than you'd think. I've legitimately never met another. Everyone claiming their name is Bill, is always a William. I've met plenty of Jim's that weren't James. Andy's and Drew's that weren't Andrew. Never another Bill. And this Bill... has GOT to get paid.

[@worksucksletsdrink6011]

nice!

[@skunkwurks]

hooray

[@xcessiveprod]

Is that Emily? :O

[@ApesoftheState]

Xcessive yes, she is our child. We, collectively as a band, birthed her.

[@KaWuMmPs]

New here.. Whos emily?? :O and what is it about her? :o Great song btw!!!!

[@ApesoftheState]

KaWuMmPs she's the redheaded girl playing the main character in the video. She makes music under the name Local News Legend, check it out ! localnewslegend.bandcamp.com

[@Helloitisstillme]

If you were to bring her on your next tour that would make my century.

[@ApesoftheState]

That's exactly what we hope we can pull off

[@Jane-oz7pp]

Every line of this song hits home so hard. The only part that's not relatable is "white middle class"

[@yonahgreenblatt2671]

What about everyone else?

[@masontromero]

HAHAHAHA BILL COLLECTOR REPELLANT

[@lloydcisco6476]

[@Thelivingwordthesword]

I will place a no harassment embalming on Love lake of fire embalming all collectors and harassers will be blocked from stressing love out Her name and information will be embalmed as well

[@denversolo]

I want a pillow made from the violinist's hair. In the most non serial killer way.

[@Thelivingwordthesword]

No mail no phone calls her information will not be allowed to be even mentioned or written

[@Thelivingwordthesword]

For as long and she is on this wretched demonic infested planet

[@zachsabel5466]
