The Issues bassist and Waterparks’ Awsten Knight continued to have a very wholesome interaction on social media about the occurrence.
“This furniture store in Grand Rapids Michigan is playing Waterparks music videos and I have questions,” Accord said in a tweet.

“OMFG THIS IS INCREDIBLE I AM SO CONFUSED AND HAPPY BUT WE OUT HERE,” Knight replied. “WE MADE IT.”

Acord then asked Knight to let him know how lonely it was at the top, to which the pop-punk vocalist replied with an inspirational quote circa MySpace 2006.

Oddly enough, fans are starting to turn this into an IKEA campaign. Clearly, the only thing that could make IKEA any better would be Waterparks music videos.
No we just need IKEA to play waterparks

What makes all of this super ironic, is Knight’s disdain for the furniture chain.
