I went to Warped when it was punk bands. Was unaware that it had shifted to metal.
My band played on the little 'local stage' for two cities. We got to a ton of people. It was awesome.
I went a few times after that. It was still awesome. Then again I love skateboards

i wouldn't call most of the bands on warped tour nowadays either "punk" or "metal" as much as "shitty music." that said, sometimes pretty good bands sneak into the lineup. at different points in time, i remember crime in stereo, polar bear club, vaux, lifetime (!) and so on. this year i hear they have some decent stuff (moving mountains, against me!) which is cool i guess, but warped has always been the "punk" fest for kids who a) don't know about legitimate punk (or metal) fests (sound & fury, chaos in tejas, rainfest, best friends day, the fest in gainesville come to mind) or b) live in the kind of place where warped tour is the closest approximation to "culture" they might get on an annual basis, and travel, i mean have you seen what they do to people flying nowadays? they take pictures of their penises n such.iron codpiece said:
Let's not start the impossible to win and ever retarded 'real punk' argument, shall we? At the very least punk is how it was billed at the time (2002).campofapproval said:
People who like to cry and whine when any punk band sells more than 10,000 records annoy me greatly. It's a sound just as much as it is a DIY lifestyle. At that time it might as well have been called "FatWreckChords and Epitaph labels all go on tour"
I'll give you that.
re: this, i'll just say from my experience there tends to be a general consensus on what is punk among people involved in punk, though not among people arguing semantics, which tends to be people who do not (or longer care) care about punk rock nor have any current involvement in punk and related subcultures.iron codpiece said:
The bands you named are the reason I'm not going this year.
I went last year to the one in Atlanta and saw Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto, Andrew W.K., the Dillinger Escape Plan, and a couple other bands. This year's lineup was nothing compared to last years, and even last year's wasn't great. To be honest, I've been to $10 shows with local bands that were more fun than Warped and definitely no where near as hot. But I can't deny that the bands I actually wanted to see were really good and I had a lot of fun, but not worth staying a couple days in an RV and the $50 tickets.
