Warped Tour 15 was something I thought was going to be amazing. I was prepared and had been warned. It was going to be hot, hot, hot. Bring in water, be ready for those tweens and be ready for great bands and people watching.
I was ready, maybe too ready. As Warped Tour 15 was not everything it could have been. We all know that Warped Tour isnt the hard core show that it used to be. it has evolved to survive and has changed with the times and the music. Some people are stuck in the past and are angry that the hard core rock scene is gone and emo has taken over. But… look at the crowd. Who else is going to turn out at 12pm when it is 110?
Even with all of the change, and being accepting of it, I do have to say that Warped Tour seemed awkward. Perhaps it was just frustration that the bands I wanted to see were playing at the same time, or within 10 minutes of each other on opposite ends of the parking lot. It could also have been that the headliners seemed to phone in their performance.
Its not to say it was bad, just awkward. Hopefully, like most teenagers, Warped Tour will blooosom out of these stage.
