If there is one thing warped tour has taught me

Posted by on Friday, July 11, 2008 · 6 

It’s that being cool is so lame.

The best thing about warped tour is definitely having the ability to wild the fuck out and have a good time every day of the summer. The saddest thing about warped tour are the too cool for school hipsters who were forced to come to Warped Tour because their underage Scene girlfriend just haddddd to see “Jack’s Mannequin.”

I can totally be that guy sometimes, and i’m gonna do my best to stop being that guy. I’m totally a music elitist snob dude sometimes and it sucks. Fact of the matter is different strokes for different folks. Personally i’m so juiced to see bands like Forever The Sickest Kids and A Day to Remember doing something they love and not being concerned about whether or not it’s “cool.” A lot of those guys are well into their 20s and making music that is mostly appreciated by kids way younger than that.

Also while I don’t do it much, I’m done hating on “blog house” or any other “trendy” music. That shit is fun, I still remember the day I heard “Waters of Nazareth” that’s up there with the day I heard “Chick Magnet” by mxpx when I was 11 and shit bricks. Or the day I heard AM/PM by American Nightmare. That song changed the lives of manyyyy a people, so I can definitely understand why there’s an army of people trying to recreate the sound.

Anyway I guess in short this post is about letting go of your ego. I’m not trying to get all fucking oprah new age and shit, but the other day I was talking to Bolthouse about just this and it’s some real stuff. If you can lose the ego you can be happy, when I get back to LA i’m done bitching about shitty clubs. I’m gonna go to Rhonda and dance my ass off. Because life’s too short to sit on the sidelines and make fun of the kid who’s having the greatest time ever losing it on the dancefloor.

also this just in I <3 Science!

    good entry, this reminded me of what I did just a few days ago.

    I am pretty big elitist when it comes to music, I even tell people I havn’t seen Mtv in years because it is all manufactured crap.

    Then my cousin told me he saw a commercial for shwayze’s show. At first I was soo disappointed and angry I even sent both him and cisco an angry message on myspace telling them that I used to like them but now I would never buy there cd for being sellouts to the worst thing to happen to music ever.

    But then I realized these guys are just trying to get heard and have a good time while doing it. I should just them do there thing even if they want there target audience to be Mtv trend following teeny boppers. Now I just try to enjoy everything and let everyone do what they like.
