all over again.

Michael Underscore-Beloved becomes a rapper. After a semi-successful rap career he decides he wants to start a band with the other kids of the SMP. He's the lead singer and guitarist, but sometimes he plays the drums when one of the others want to take the spotlight.
Michelle and Shroud put together most of the costumes with input from Finley and Junior (no Shroud you can't wear see through shorts). Michelle was the first to sing on her own and has done so the most apart from Michael. She can play the saxophone, the cello, the drums and guitar. Fans often ship her and Michael together which they both find hilarious.
Shroud usually has a new boyfriend or girlfriend each week, but his most recent boyfriend has lasted about two months so far.
Finley and Shroud are the main dancers, but they also sing sometimes. Finley sings more than Shroud but most often they sing together as backing vocals. Finley can play the flute.
Yoghurt does the lighting and sound and also puts together the music videos with help from Foolish Jr, their manager. Yoghurt is really insecure about their voice but when they did sing in a music video everyone loved it so they've been trying to gather the courage to do it again and eventually do so in front of a live audience.
Junior has never been in a music video because he isn't a good singer or dancer, but he does know how money works which the others (except Michelle) do not. He does interviews and everyone thinks he's really sweet because they can see how much he cares about the rest.
Their first album consisted of mostly Michael as lead because there others were still a bit unsure but there are a couple of duets mostly of Michael and Michelle or Michelle and Finley. Michelle and Finley both did solo songs and Finley's was one of those mainstream catchy pop songs and Michelle's was a country rock. Shroud was always backing and everyone expected him to stay that way, until one concert, when all the others left Shroud alone on stage with the piano that had been snuck on at some point during the last song. The crowd was confused until he started playing on it at which point they all collectively lost their minds.
They usually write the songs together as a group, though there are exceptions, such as Shroud's Song which he wrote for his dad (Tommy cried).
Ofc all their parents are proud of them, but Tubbo and Ranboo are more used to it and give Michael his independence (but they do wish he'd visit more) and Puffy is much the same. Tommy cries everytime they leave home to go on tour and has all their merch, initially he'd tried to go with them but Shroud told him it would be cringe and Tommy Innit is never cringe. Fundy always helps with sound and lighting when Yoghurt asks for it. Tommy calls him cringe and Fundy tells him to shut up because he cries whenever Shroud goes to the cornerstore. Foolish always makes a point to check in with his kids and niece whenever they end up working in the same servers.
