The International Tweexcore Underground - Los Campesinos!

The song is an argument between a twee fan (played by Gareth) and a punk fan (played by Aleks). In the verses both stick up for their culture’s ideals by pointing out the flaws they find in the other.

Examples of this is how Gareth mentions that Aleks could never listen to an album of her music and read fiction at the same time and how Aleks believes that the only reason Gareth listens to twee music is because he is scared to be alone.

The chorus features the naming of several prominent twee and punk figures (Amelia Fletcher, Calvin Johnson, Ian Mckaye and Henry Rollins). However, they use these names so that the listener knows that Gareth never cared for Fugazi and Black Flag and Aleks never cared for Heavenly, Beat Happening or K Records.

Immediately following this however, is the exclamation that the International Tweexcore underground (a reference to the International Pop Underground, an integral part of twee history) will save them all. The international tweexcore underground is the ultimate joining of both groups, with the twee and hardcore genres forming together and learning to coexist peacefully.
