one time after a reel big fish show, my friend was scanning the floor trying to find any guitar picks. I told him that he'd never find one, and then 10 seconds later I found one lol 

I don't have have it anymore though, and I'm devastated.

Because Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is very conscientious.

Nerds litter less, quite frankly

Everybody helps pick it up, pick it up

Because you scratch a Rudie or a hooligan and you find a crunchy hippie, but with a far better taste in fashion and music.

Because there's like 15 people in each band to help clean up

I'd like to think that ska kids have a social conscience and care about the perception of their community and care enough that they don't leave a mess maybe? But tbh I've never really noticed any mess after shows in general. Festivals, yes, the abandoned tents and mess is disgusting.

Fairly sure this question was just to set up the 'pick it up' joke

We learned to clean up our mess from Yo Gabba Gabba!
