* PerformanceVideo: For "Action & Action". It still manages to have somewhat of a plot - as the band are playing the song through a phone to a woman upstairs from them, another woman in the same building tries to get them to stop the music so she can study.

The band had a major impact on later PopPunk and [[EmoMusic emo]] musicians. Pete Wentz has said that without their debut, ''Four Minute Mile'', Music/FallOutBoy would have never been a thing, and Tom Delonge of Blink182 has cited their second album as influential.

'''The Get Up Kids''' are an AlternativeRock band from Kansas City, Missouri. They are largely considered the TropeCodifier for late-90s-early "second wave" emo music, with personal, often intimate lyrics and a distinctly PopPunk sound. The band has toured under a fairly consistent membership since reuniting in 2008, and have put out six studio albums. Vocalist Matt Pryor is the band's most significant contributor musically, and James Dewees, who later became MyChemicalRomance's keyboardist, made a side project, Reggie And The Full Effect, that was originally songs that the rest of the band found inappropriate or unfit for The Get Up Kids.
