Answer That and Stay Fashionable was the first full-length album released by hardcore punk band AFI. It was originally released on August 1, 1995 by Wingnut Records. Answer That and Stay Fashionable was recorded in Hayward, California at the studio of Andy Ernst with production help from Tim Armstrong and Brett Reed. The album was re-issued through Nitro Records on April 22, 1997. The cover of the album is a parody of the film Reservoir Dogs, of which the album also contains audio excerpts. The album title stems from The Comic Strip Presents: "Bad News Tour", excerpts of which are played at the start of "Don't Make Me Ill" and the end of "Highschool Football Hero."

The tracks "Two of a Kind" and "Yürf Rendenmein" were later re-recorded for the Very Proud of Ya album. The title of the song "Yürf Rendenmein" is a play on the phrase "your friend and mine."
