There is audio of that. It kicks in at :28 and goes to 1:08
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
... um, why does she owe me a cookie?
She promised a cookie to the first person to use the term "stagegay" in the music thread.
"I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself."
I totally laugh at that, too.
And once again, SA for the win.
Granted, emo as a descriptor, while nonsuccessfully applied to music, can serve as an accurate enough term for a style that fits snugly between hipster and goth.
V. true. I was going to say that "emo is the new goth" in terms of a group of young people mocked for eyeliner and depressive tendencies (and boykissing) , but that's more accurate.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Mmm, snug jeans....

Awesome!

Yep, which is also why a lot of ElderGoths get cranky about emo. We look at the emokids and go, "waitaminute, aren't you just confused babygoths?"

But they don't like bats! (Waitaminnit.) But they don't spend as much time on their hair! (Um.)
I got nothin'.
(Note: I'm being very tongue-in-cheek here. With no core of intelligence, therefore unlike Saporta.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Mmm, but I wouldn't argue that emo is confused babygoth because there are particular style distinctions that differ from the goth style ethos. There are just as many things lifted from hipster and indie scene kids as there are from goth style. I'd have to sit down and have a think about specifics, but I can look at a hipster kid, an emo kid, and a goth kid and definitely tell the difference.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

More importantly, who would win in a fight?

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
most of the bandom bands are fiercely against both, and frequently say things (in interviews, on stage) to change people's perceptions.
My Chem wants to Save Your Life, and they're completely non-ironic about it. To quote Gerard: "We've always been pretty vocal about our message... just to know that it's okay to be messed up, cause there's five dudes that are just as messed up as you, and we've overcome that in order to do what we do."
A lot of people are drawn to the idea behind the band as much as they are to the music.

I've gotten to where I can tell the difference, but it was a close thing for a while. A lot of the emo kids look like baby deathrockers, except with less corpse-like makeup.
More importantly, who would win in a fight?
I'm gonna go with the goth kid, because we goths usually have pointy metal accessories and stompy boots.
