From what I understand, is sort of like ‘the ’ of music festivals. They sort of appeal to the whole ‘emo’, ‘’, ‘alt rock’, ‘goth’, ‘dark’, ‘skater’ tween demographic. I think a lot of those weird dark retail alts are pretty into that music where people are yelling, then singing in lil emo voices are the same people who find Owl City to be ‘the deepest band in the world.’ N e ways… seems like the kind of ‘festival’ that travels across the country, stopping in high density suburban tween alt communities to perpetuate the ‘purgatory alt’ brand. Sorta like the place where lil Mexis have chest tattoos, v-necks, and ‘scene haircuts.’

N e ways, a couple of Alts had a convo about how they are ‘pumped’ abt coming 2 town.

Initially, a looking bro ‘brags’ that he is going to .
Several people then ‘like’ this status update to brand themselves with
A bro then claims that it will be ‘amazingly brutal’ in a hardcore inspiring kind of way. Tons of moshing probs.
A few people say that they are ‘jealous.’
The original bro who posted the status update, the ‘brags’ about the festival lineup, and how ‘sick’ it is going 2 be.

At the tail end of the thread, a bro and some girl get ‘testy’ about which bands are worth seeing. They both claim that certain bands are ‘awesome’ and others aren’t ‘all that. It seems like in the end, they just ‘agree to disagree’, but the bro is still ‘a pimp baller’ cuz he gets to go to .

This thread is kinda like indie rock music discussions. Some people ‘love’ some buzzbands that are people think are ‘absolute shit.’ U know the old saying…”One man’s buzzband is another man’s poopy fart noises.” -Carles, 2010

It doesn’t matter what kind of music u listen 2–every1 is gonna have opinions on what they <3 and what they h8. Wish we could all get along, and vibe out to all kinds of music, but then again, maybe if I truly believed in music equality, then it would make my taste less influential + the soundtrack of my life less meaningful.

Wish retail alts would stop listening to that garbage, though. Wish they could understand that they are 'trapped' in lower middle class suburban culture, and that they can 'free their minds' and pursue something more authentic in the indiesphere. Honestly feel like every time I blog, I am on a 'social mission', on a quest for buzzband authenticity.

Have yall ever been 2 ?
Is it mad authentic alt?
Do they have skateboarders AND bands?
Have u heard of Attack Attack or Confide?
What is a good name for type of alt who attends Warped Tours?
Do people who go to shop at Pacific Sun, , Black Fly, or Hollister?
Or do they wear a 'pupu platter' of weird retail alt clothes and accessories?
Will Shaun White/Tony Hawk win a gold medal at the next ?
Do u think CONFIDE will play their cover of the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights"?

miss the freckle in yalls eye….
