This trope is often played in fiction as a ragtag group of teenagers, for bonus points it may be a group of {{Emo Teen}}s, forming a band. Sometimes the band is a spur of the moment thing, started as a weekend project or to win a talent show and becomes the plot of the episode. Often the band will break up at the end of the episode. In RealLife successful bands have started out as {{Garage Band}}s, with Music/{{Nirvana}} being one such example. Hell, there's even a genre of music called Music/GarageRock.
