Freaking Emo Kids!
If I hate anything in the world, it's got to be Emo kids. Ok, so I went to Warped Tour with Nick and Jake today. It was good times. But, this had to be like one of the most violent crowds I've ever seen. You'd think Ozzfest would have one of the most violent audiences in the music industry, but you'd be wrong. These emo kids get so into these bands that they have to be right there watching their faces as they scream their hearts out and these kids leave everyone else in their war path. For example, we were about to watch Taking Back Sunday. They're a cool band, but let's face it, they are pussy rock, not metal, not really punk, but not really that hard of a band. The majority of their fans are all straight-edged kids.
So, when they start their set with the dreaded words: "What do we do when someone falls down? We pick them up!!!"
And from those words everyone one starts moving. We were body to body to begin with, when I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster at Cedar Point, and I'm really just standing at a concert, that's not normally a good thing. My feet were off the ground and I was still standing some how!!
The band stopped the song they were playing and informed the audience that people were getting hurt, so they told everyone to step back. Which only made more room for more idiots to sneak in through the cracks. Eventually, I turned to the big guy next to me and told him I was getting the fuck outta there, and he agreed that it was a good idea. So, we ended up pushing some emo kids out of the way and found higher ground. Jake did the same but I think he got out sooner than I did. I then ventured over to the beer stand and waited until the set was over to find Nick. I looked to where Nick was standing when I left and he was no where to be seen. Strangely enough, Nick ended up going from the left side of the stage to the right side of the stage without ever trying to move.
We were pretty dead after all of that, but we craved something edible. Unfortunately while waiting in line for food, we missed Coheed & Cambria's set. We later found out that the set was cut short anyway because someone threw a camera on stage and it nailed the lead singer in the eye, rumor has it that it busted him open pretty good.
We ended our day with the Yellowcard set because we were all too tired to wait around another few hours to see Story of the Year which happened to be the last band of the night. That kind of made me upset because I really wanted to see them, but I wasn't gonna try to sit around waiting for them to start at 8:30.
It was a good day all around, except for those damned emo kids.
