Thinking of Hayley's speech talking about how when they came around, emo / punk rock wasn't a safe space for people who were different. Media making "female-fronted band" seem like a genre. Media and bands not taking them seriously at all because Hayley was a young woman and the band did shit differently. Same thing with My Chemical Romance. When they came around and they embraced androgyny + non-conformity, and stood up for women, poc and queer people (where barely anybody else was doing this btw), a HUGE amount of people thought of them as a joke. Bands, media and punk enjoyers alike. People always forget they weren't always this celebrated in the scene. To a lot of people they were just seen as an annoying, make up-wearing sissy band that were full of shit. Stuff like Warped 2004 comes to mind when the creator of Warped purposely made MCR play back to back with a bigoted band, and that band spent half of their set calling Gerard homophobic slurs and other disgusting ass shit. Forums filled with people backing that band's statement. This is another reason why I think MCR made that statement at WWWY. Back during the Revenge era they were called slurs and were treated like dog shit from all around, and now suddenly it's become very profitable and demanded? Of course they would choose to take the piss. It was funny as hell.
That's why I'm also happy as hell that bands like them have a camaraderie. Hayley talking about how when they were just a tiny little band during Warped 2005 nobody really paid attention to, Gerard took the time to watch their full set :)

I love Paramore and I was so excited when I heard they played All I Wanted because that was my favourite album by them and it's a hard song to sing technique-wise with the high notes and belts but it only shows how powerful Hayley's voice is recovering especially after the damage from Brand New Eyes era so I am glad they finally got a chance to play that

“Saw The Used play the exact same set that I’ve heard them play every time I’ve seen them over the last 10 years.” THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT. I consistently went to shows after an album release and they would maybe play one new song. One of my favorite bands but goddamn am I tired of the same shit.

I know it's not exactly the same, but this I think is how I felt after seeing MCR on their reunion a couple months ago.
My best friend and I went together. It was a show that wasn't supposed to exist since it was added after COVID. I was going with a ticket that wasn't supposed to be mine, but now was mine. And all with one of my favorite people- both of us musicians, both of us introduced to MCR well after their breakup.
We screamed our hearts out to songs that saved us, saved our friends, saved our friendship.
We made a little mosh in the stands, pumped our fists to the anthems, and left not really knowing what we were feeling.
Like. Of course, it was an incredible show. Of course, it was emotional. But I think (at least for me), it set me up to go towards the world now. Not "move on" per se, but now I feel like I'm finally ready to go and claim my own place in music. Get involved with my own local, small scene (which I'm discovering is actually like. Pretty expansive). I'm ready to share my own songs that (being honest) I stewed in alone for way too long before publishing.
That show happened for me, not to pull me back, but push me forward.

The speech at the end was amazing!! As a "younger" fan of emo it often feels slightly disheartening when those older than me try to gatekeep because "they are the ones truly experiencing the nostalgia", even though most of these bands I've been listening to my entire life due to being exposed to it by my parents, I was just younger when I was having those first experiences, ya know? So it feels really nice to hear someone say that we need to make room for more people, young or old. Make emo the safe space that Haley was talking about in her speech <3

I remember thinking “this is gonna be a disaster” and thinking I was right with the Saturday events. Then I remember being pleasantly surprised when it actually happened that Sunday and people were having a good time. Then I remember thinking “well, it may be fun and all, but there’s NO WAY this isn’t a one-and-done festival. SURELY they won’t have another one…”
And then they announced year two, with not only a bigger lineup, with blink-182 and Green Day headlining, but blink-182 with TOM DELONGE….. and I decided to shut up

bruh, I was planning on seeing MCR at a festival. they had to cancel due to Georgia's open carry laws. the festival was held in a public park and that means that the concert people couldn't ban firearms from the event and the insurers didn't want to cover it for obvious reasons so the festival got canceled. I got a full refund for the festival tickets. I went to a different MCR concert in the same area.

Hayley’s speech really meant a lot to me. I remember being made fun of for listening to this kind of music growing up. The topics of mental health were very taboo, and I felt like I had nowhere to belong. And then I remember all that changed my first Warped Tour. I finally found a community of people who shared the same pains I was going through, who liked the same music I was listening to, and who finally found a sense of home like I did. Things weren’t always like this, and I’m incredibly proud of the progression. I am ecstatic to see more POC in the scene, mental health being a subject that many people consider and talk about nowadays, and acceptance and awareness for those in the LGBTQ+ communities. This is something we can’t take for granted and must champion for the next generation. I’m so excited for the direction we’re heading in.

Great video! My wife and I had tickets fir Saturday and were devestated. Luckily we found tickets for sunday through a stranger on FB but when we got to the gate they wouldn't scan! They let us through anyways and it was an amazing experience. Watching this video let me relive it again so thank you.

this may be a pretty weird place to say something like this, but for personal reasons I was feeling kinda bittersweet about not being able to go Saturday like I had planned.
I was there with some real corny family (won't go into details), and in retrospect I really kinda felt like, if I ended up going, I would've had this constant feeling of being under the shadow of people who I genuinely dislike, who didn't enjoy this kind of music anyway, and who have done some real rough stuff to me.
Instead, I got to spend most of the day alone in a hotel room, blasting the music I wanted to while they went out to look around Vegas. Even if I was super alone at that point, it felt way more real and personal than the festival itself would've been given the circumstances.
Ik this is just my personal experience and not everyone else got anything positive out of the cancellation, but I'm super happy that I was able to make something work that, more than likely, would have topped the festival experience had it happened normally.
