The house located on 704 W High St in Urbana, Illinois that was pictured on the cover of midwest emo band American Football’s 1999 eponymous debut album. Being the only image attached to the band for years, it has become something of a meme within indie/emo circles. Any trve emo enjoyer must make a pilgrimage to the house at some point in their life.
American Football Fan #1: Are we ever gonna make our pilgrimage to the American Football House?
American Football Fan #2: Let’s drive down there over spring break, there’s gonna be a house show and party.

Also known as the Reddit kid, band kids are defined by an obsession with Reddit, Pewdiepie, and gaming (particularly PC gaming and Nintendo switch), strange and awkward mannerisms, and a tendency to make weird poses, talk fast, and regurgitate old memes. They tend to also like anime and anime-related things (such as Pokemon games), and likely have an anime profile picture on their social networking accounts. Band kids are likely active on Discord and are often moderators on there and/or Reddit. They frequent r/pewdiepiesubmissions and r/dankmemes, and look down on those who use Instagram and TikTok as “normies.” This culture is common amongst kids in high school marching band (hence the name) but it is not limited to them. Band kid/Reddit kid culture may overlap with weeb culture and neckbeard culture, and is prominent amongst individuals beyond high school age. Think of the band kid as the neckbeard when they were in high school. Everyone knows at least 4 of these kids from high school.
