The author writes:

If you don't know who Greg Haupt was, he was the rhythm guitarist of Rock band Story of the Year from 2000 until 2002. The only songs he played on Story of the Year's debut album were "Until the Day I Die", "Anthem of our Dying Day" and "Razorblades". He left the band after recording those three songs due to creative and personal differences, being replaced by Phillip Sneed around 7 weeks later.

Greg would pass away in 2022 due to cancer.

I'm at the tail end of Gen Z myself (I was born on May 8th, 2006) and also a fan of 2000's emo music.
