Nice breakdown:

"Unified scene": It's a term recycled in songs like “Stay Positive” and “Sweet Payne.” It’s now been adopted by the band’s cult-like following as an umbrella self-descriptor, and it includes anyone who espouses Finn’s worldview of positive jams, having fun, and rocking like a motherfucker.

Cheers to the dude that did his homework.

Except, that the term unified scene does not appear in the song Stay Positive. It was still a very good article.

ha. it's the verse that is left out of the liner notes. "when the chaperone crowned us the king and the queen/we knew that we'd arrived at the unified scene"

I stand corrected. You did forgot to capitalize the h in Ha and the i in It's . Everyone makes mistakes. Im not sure if the / between queen and knew is correct either, but I will let you slide on that one. I hope that pointing out my mistake brightened up your day.

i think its interesting that the verse was left out of the liner notes. to be sure, the liner notes contain a few typos. so, it's possible that it is mere error. whether error or intentional, the omission makes it less likely that those particular lines will be picked apart by critics or casual listeners. that verse belongs to craig and to the nerds. that brightens up my day.
