Hikayenin baş kahramanı ve anlatıcısı Stevo'dan 1980lerin ortalarında Salt Lake City'deki müzik-kültür ortamının bir tasfiri:
Rednecks kicked the shit out of punks,
punks, kicked the shit out of mods,
mods kicked the shit out of skinheads,
skinheads took out the metal guys,
the metal guys beat the living shit out of new wavers,
and the new wavers did nothing...They were the new hippies.
