Plot: Otto (Ross Lynch) and Wes (Logan Miller) are at the record store. Wes excitedly announces that they have the new Rootboy Slim and the Sex Change Band album. He says that every week there's something new... and cool. Wes says punk and new wave music is gonna change the world. Otto says Wes is dreaming. He loves the music too, but they are at the only store in town that carries ANY punk or new wave music, and even here it is separated from the "real" rock music, as if mixing in The Clash will somehow infect the rock genre. Otto asks if this really sounds like a cultural force that will change the world. Otto continues without waiting for a reply from Wes to say that there are simply way too many conglomerates lined up to stomp down the music they didn't make. Too much money has been invested in the next Foreigner LP to allow some DIY assholes to succeed. Otto continues his rant by bringing up that there isn't a single radio station in town that plays ANY new music, not one lousy single. Otto begins blaming the hippies. He says they are the first generation in human history that refuses to give away to the next generation, so it's their music that fills the airwaves because they own the airwaves. Wes says he can't believe that The Saints and The Clash will be drowned out by the likes of Aerosmith. Otto bets that 30 years from now Aerosmith will still be selling out arenas full of morons. Otto comes across the album of the band playing at The Bank that weekend, The Plasmatics.
At The Bank, Otto is working backstage. He brings Plasmatics lead singer Wendy O. Williams (Betty Gilpin) a can of shaving cream as she asked for. Wendy is a little angry that the shaving cream isn't Barbasol like she always uses. Otto apologizes and explains that all the stores around there close at 5 and he had to go all the way to the ghetto to find an open store and that was the only shaving cream they had. Otto says he has used the brand before and vouches for it. Wendy says it's fine, it's her roadie's fault, not Otto's. She then asks Otto how many cops are there tonight. Otto says there are a shitload, mostly vice. Wendy says she only gets hassled in towns like Akron.
During the concert, Wendy announces that the next song is for the pigs out there tonight. Otto is watching the show next to the Plasmatics Manager (Justin Long). She turns away from the crowd, takes her top off and covers her breasts with the shaving cream. She turns back toward the crowd and begins the song. The band's manager comments that the shaving cream is melting off way sooner. It quickly melts away, exposing her breasts to the crowd. The stage is immediately swarmed by the plainclothes cops there and Wendy is arrested for indecent exposure. The Manager comments that the Barbasol has never failed before.
At school on Monday Wes is laughing in the halls that Otto is the reason Wendy O. Williams got arrested. They then see the Bible-thumper Betty from Biology class walking down the hall, now visibly pregnant. Otto says she hasn't told anyone who the father is, but he's putting his money on her pastor. Wes changes the subject back to the Plasmatics and asks if the band was pissed. Otto says far from it. Her manager couldn't thank him enough since you can't buy that kind of publicity. He says that Wendy even stopped by the next day once she was out of jail and autographed the can of shaving cream for him.
As Otto and Wes walk down the hall they cross paths with Pete (Charlie Tahan) and Lisa Zolka (Saxon Sharbino) walking hand in hand. Otto asks how long that's been going on. Wes says the two have been an item ever since Otto convinced Pete to expose himself to her.
