Somewhere in the space between Waldorf and Statler, Beavis and Butthead, and Pinky and the Brain, there lies Apocalypse and Nightshade-- or, as they're known by day, Jeremy and Trevor. The pair are friends who, when they're not dealing with the usual teenage problems like their asshole chemistry teacher, or their plot to usurp the tyrannical rule of the senior leading the anime club, are leading a secret double life. They could be mistaken for Catband's number one fans, but don't be fooled: they watch the band competition TV show strictly ironically, of course. The boys, under their pseudonyms, run a "Vote for the Worst" sort of blog where they pen glowing reviews of the show's least talented or most bizarre acts and try to raise fan support to keep them around, at the expense of the better acts.

Where his friend Nightshade (Trevor) is a wannabe gangsta, Jeremy is an edgy emo kid, the sort who thinks he's got the whole world figured out. Wake up, sheeple. Jeremy's the kind of kid who wears dog collars and draws pentagrams on his shoes and feels very persecuted when he inevitably gets sent to detention for breaking dress code. It's not really clear which of the two came up for the idea of the blog, but Jeremy's definitely the most strident about it, and determined to bring down this corrupt corporate music sham... or whatever he thinks the band competition is. Even if he almost maybe likes some of the music.

He kind of bullies Trevor, but Trevor is very trusting and not really sharp enough to realize-- and anyway, Jeremy thinks more highly of his friend than he'd ever admit.
