Musical Influence
Schwarzenbach largely remains an influential figure in the punk/emo/indie music scene. He is known as "one of the godfathers of emo". As such, a devoted cult of musicians have much respect for his seminal efforts, particularly for his work in Jawbreaker. Empirical evidence of this includes the release of a Jawbreaker tribute album – Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault – in 2003. Further influence can be indicated from cultural references. For instance, Blake has been appropriated into a character featured in Emogame 2, an online flash game. In addition, the main character "Blake" in Nothing Nice To Say, a webcomic, is named after him and bears some resemblance. The folk punk band Defiance, Ohio's song "I'm Just Going To Leave..." also directly references listening to Jawbreaker.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or influence:
“Each child has his own individual expressions to offer to the world. That expression can take many forms, from artistic interests, a way of thinking, athletic activities, a particular style of dressing, musical talents, different hobbies, etc. Our job is to join our children in discovering who they are.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“To-day ... when material prosperity and well earned ease and luxury are assured facts from a national standpoint, woman’s work and woman’s influence are needed as never before; needed to bring a heart power into this money getting, dollar-worshipping civilization; needed to bring a moral force into the utilitarian motives and interests of the time; needed to stand for God and Home and Native Land versus gain and greed and grasping selfishness.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
