Show Notes
"Well, you've been waiting this long for a white guy to explain a Mexican band to you. It's very upsetting for all involved."
In this episode of the Make Me a Fan series, we're tackling one of the biggest blind spots in Lizzie's scene history: Pierce The Veil. While Brian was championing the band's "Mexicore" roots and heavy guitar work, Lizzie was busy dodging the 2010s Tumblr fangirl hype.
"In this episode of the Make Me a Fan series, we're tackling one of the biggest blind spots in Lizzie's scene history: Pierce The Veil. While Brian was championing the band's ""Mexicore"" roots and heavy guitar work, Lizzie was busy dodging the 2010s Tumblr fangirl hype and listening to Hollywood Undead instead.
Now that PTV is gearing up for their massive 2025 tour with Sleeping With Sirens, it's time for a proper retrospective. Brian tests Lizzie with five defining songs spanning from A Flair for the Dramatic to The Jaws of Life. We discuss Vic Fuentes' distinct vocals, the aggressive perfection of King For A Day, and whether the band's theatrical energy actually works for a first-time listener today.
Plus: The hilarious irony of a white guy enthusiastically explaining a Mexican-American band to a Mexican woman, and why the scene desperately needed non-white representation during the Warped Tour era.
Tracks Discussed In This Episode:
• King For A Day
• So Far So Fake
• Besitos
• Yeah Boy and Dollface
• Bulletproof Love

"I want my anxiety to make me feel like I'm constantly under attack. If I don't feel that I am always playing a DDR game, I don't know what to do with life."
"Me always not listening to white men. More for me."
