When We Were Young Festival (Las Vegas) Tour • Page 53

No one:

Bowling for Soup: *eyes emoji*

 

that band couldn’t even fill out a 20 minute set of good songs from them

 

they’re probably going to stand outside handing CDs out to the line lol

 

the real warped tour experience

 

Things That Rhyme with Orange & Sex Ed Rocks feat. Smosh and then leave Vegas

 

I saw ISMFOF last night and they played 40 minutes of their jams but they were still not very good live but they know that

 

Am I old or out of touch? No idea what that acronym is lol.

 

I set my friends on fire

 

I honestly never heard of this band before all the WWWY controversy, but I'm so turned off by the shit they're doing I'll never be interested in checking them out.

 

Their peak was 2009.

Can’t really hate them using WWWY fest to boost themselves. It’s all part of the marketing game.

 

I didn’t even think they had a peak

 

Yeah they were hardly relevant and one of the worst of the MySpace scene bands of that era. They wouldn’t even fit in with the festival lol

 

You know what I meant. There was a moment when awareness of them was higher than it will ever be again.

I’d call it a peak.

 

It was a peak, it was just super short lived because that Crunkcore/shitty “party” music wave peaked and fell all within a few years. The whole 2008-2010 era of MySpace scenecore was hardly relevant to begin with. Most bands played small venues and didn’t draw much at all during that era.

 

Yeah, it was niche and pretty much died as quickly as it began. I think the biggest success of those groups came with Brokencyde opening for Senses Fail and it didn’t go well for them lol They fell out pretty quickly after that.

 

It’s always funny to me how quickly that scene/trend in music crashed and burned. I remember seeing ads for those bands all the time in AP Magazine. I thought that’s what was really “in” at the time. But I think by like, 2012, it got pretty phased out

 

I tried to make my own faux schedule and it made my head physically hurt.

 

TV Girl and Mom Jeans both just went on sold out tours, I think they would both be higher. Also I would put jxdn and Lil Huddy lower.

 

Jxdn has sold out 1500-2000-cap venues months in advance, so I'm comfortable with where I have him, but yeah, Mom Jeans should probably play after Lil Huddy now that I've looked up the venues they play.

As far as TV Girl goes, I cannot stand their music and will not let them kill off anymore brain cells than they already have.

 

To be fair, in Mom Jean’s case, it really helped them that all their openers were better than them

 

The Mom Jeans tour was also an underplay, tbh.

 

I thought ISMFOF was a joke? People seem to be taking them more seriously in here than they even take themselves?

am I wrong? Were they not a joke?

 

In this situation, where the schedule is probably not part of most bands' contracts, wouldn't Mom Jeans be judged more by the performance of the new album than the stacked tour they somehow headlined?

 

Started as a joke with Smosh (I don’t know if I got that right), yeah.
