OK so, some of the vending machines in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk say "fugazi coffee" on them. Fugazi is a hardcore punk band that came out of the Washington D.C. 80's hardcore scene, and shares some member lineage with Minor Threat. I don't know much about them otherwise.
I, at some point during my teens, was up with a bout of insomnia watching MTV2 at 3 AM because that's when they played *the weird shit* and also this is back when MTV2 was still primarily music videos - almost no original programming and the little they did have was brand new and very few and far between.
So I have this memory, of a yellow puppet holding up a phone and headba nging while some electronica plays. FOR SOME REASON my brain decided in that moment that this was Fugazi or Fugazi-related somehow, even though it absolutely was not.
So Zac comes down from his office because he's done with work and he points out the coffee machine and I tell him this story. He manages to pull up the actual song I was thinking of... and yeah it's not even CLOSE to being Fugazi-adjacent.
