Aaron Barrett says that this song is about The Aquabats getting big and him being jealous, and that they're the "ska band on his street".

In truth, it could really be about a lot of OC Ska bands around at the time, who were getting more attention that RBF. They were pissed because other bands were getting more "famous" than them, and they felt they deserved more credit, so they said everything sucks and how they weren't gonna go to shows to support those bands. Of course, all those bands loved each other, so it was sorta just in good fun. Aaron was very emotional about such things back then though, and he may have been slightly serious.
