One last thing:

Green Day's American Idiot CD is the second Aberrant CD.

No, I'm totally serious. I have two theories:
1) We really WERE the Angsty WB Teen Mutant Drama; or
2) Green Day stalked us for songs about our characters.

You can tell which is my pet theory, of course.

Because... because... look! Jake walks alone on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Amy is the Rebel Girl holding Thomas' heart like a hand grenade, Thomas (ironically) begs for Novacaine (ironic because Thomas can't take drugs anymore), and Vicki is the Extraordinary Girl who gets so sick of crying (and Imago feels like dying).

And, not only that, the lyrics to Holiday are perfect for the spaceship leaving/end credits.



Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

"The representative from California has the floor"

Sieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday


So, out of something like 14 songs, at least six are good to awesome songs for the series. American Idiot is humorously appropriate given that America was Evil Mutant Wonderland (that, in fact, DID subliminally mindfuck their followers). Though not so much with the anti-gay, given that Scripture and Mazarin ran the show (ah, Divis Mal/Scripture. What a terrifying couple. *snerk*) Are We The Waiting is another song that fits a Jake contemplation moment with shots of Vicki and Thomas. (Wake Me Up) When September Ends is PURE Vicki/Thomas after the first week of Season 2.

So at least eight (maybe nine) of the 13? 14? songs fit.

SEE, MY CONSPIRACY IS TRUE.

Not to mention it's just wicked CD full of fun/insightful socio-political bashes against the American government. That's always good to. The really cool part is that it manages to bash the government while not envelopping the general American populace under the umbrella of the Idiot.

It is! I'm enjoying listening to it on repeat.
