A few more pictures
Someone asked me about my "Fuck the Westboro Baptist Church" shirt today so I thought I'd remind everyone of the Warped Tour protest.

Crack JJK headcanons but it’s all early 2000s uncle Sukuna:
The spiritual successor to Crack JJK headcanons based on nothing but vibes. Send me your own silly headcanons I would absolutely love to read them!!
2003-2007
He desperately tried to make Yuuji’s first word be “fuck.”
He got so sick and tired of having to watch the same Barney VHS tape while babysitting that he ripped the film out and blamed it on toddler Yuuji.
Yuuji always begs him to draw his tattoos on him every time he babysits.
One time toddler Yuuji broke Sukuna’s flip phone in half. Sukuna was too impressed to be mad at him for it.
2008-2013
He brought five year old Yuuji to a Slipknot concert and had him up on his shoulders with big noise cancelling headphones on… and also “forgot” to ask Jin permission to bring him beforehand.
He tried to do a trick on Yuuji’s razor scooter and accidentally broke it.
He took Yuuji with him to Warped Tour.
He got really embarrassed when Jin showed Yuuji his high school yearbook photos of him with a mohawk.
He has a leather jacket with pins and patches all over it and Yuuji LOVES wearing it when he comes over.
2014-2017
He cut Yuuji’s hair when he got into middle school and told Jin “I’ll be damned if my nephew has a bowl cut.”
When Yuuji got into a fight at school he asked him “did you win?” When Yuuji said yes he took him to get ice cream.
He had a white iPhone and dropped it, cracking the glass on the back; Yuuji colored in the cracks with neon pink sharpie.
The first time Yuuji snuck out Sukuna chewed him out when he got back home, telling him “I don’t care if you sneak off, but you fucking tell me next time.”
Whenever Yuuji gets in trouble at school, Sukuna is always the one to pick him up because the principal is afraid of him.
#I have so many fanart ideas and a potential fic idea with these headcanons#I’ll probably never write the fic cause I’m not a good writer BUUUT maybe I’ll end up just going for it some day#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#ryomen sukuna#yuuji itadori#yuji itadori#jjk headcanons#jujutsu kaisen headcanons#unckuna#uncle!sukuna#unckuna au#samaras yapping#Sukuna#itadori#jin itadori#jjk spoilers#nav ryomen sukuna#nav yuuji itadori#my writing#headcanons ✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧

are there any songs you think they should bring back for the setlist or a song you wish they would play live?
also which live performances are your favorite? (you could even go by era cuz i think each era is pretty unique)
ok so i need to start this off by saying BRING POOL BACK IMMEDIATELY!! please with the intro and everything. it’s just so fucking good. next up, which i know might be controversial, but i’d love to hear fences live once (i would watch this video all the time when i was younger, it just seems like a lot of fun). i always think it sounds so cool. and then obviously i’m on my knees screaming and crying for them to bring back Let The Flames Begin / Part II, which i know they’re probably sick of but it always turned out so good!!! and Turn It Off & Careful are my #1 picks. like, genuinely I need to hear them live or else. Also, Sugar on the Rim.
anyways i used to be better at pinpointing my favorite performances because i would watch them to a point where it was super concerning, now i’m a bit more mellow about it. however, since you asked i will attempt to deliver. just for you, dear anon.
this is in no particular order or anything, basically i’m just going off what i remember really saying damn this is good about (which is super easy when you love a band like paramore).
First off let’s start with the Miracle Outro performed during Brand New Eyes era. this song just goes so fucking hard and i curse Josh Farro for the fact that he wrote it so they couldn’t record it and release it since he left the band soon thereafter.
Paramore at Wembley Arena in 2009 — This concert is so good. like thank god this person filmed it and decided to upload it to youtube. I cannot get enough of Intro / Ignorance. truly.
RTMorasonMD had a great full concert vid from 2010, the sound quality is great for 2010 too. considering most of the time videos look like they were filmed with an nintendo D.S..
Paramore at The House of Blues in Anaheim, California (2006) this is like nostalgia city for me. I remember running my old paramore fan account on instagram and stumbling on this and being like… i’ve hit the paramore jackpot. shout out to Paramore History for always posting the real hard to find stuff… where would we be without you?
When Paramore performed Careful at Warped Tour in 2011 or like the whole Warped Tour Set — i will say this over and over again on this post but i have to be real with you when i say, i watched these videos so much it’s crazy. but careful was my favorite. i love careful. any performance or careful and i’m there.
Paramore live in Paris (2013) when i tell you i watched this religiously i mean it. i could probably do all the dance moves / movements hayley did in this specific video way back when. i was obsessed.
Paramore performing Let The Flames Begin / Part II at Bunbury in Cincinnati (2014) i just love this one. like all of these are just nostalgic for me and i can’t help but want to show you.
When Paramore performed Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and then it went into Hallelujah by Paramore (lol) at Parahoy (2016). What a way to open the show. i mean, i remember watching the final riot and being totally in love with Hayley’s voice and the way she sang it. I think I was introduced to Hallelujah by Shrek but Paramore was the second one to show me the ways of Leonard Cohen. Thanks for that.
I Caught Myself in Hamburg (2017) is an obvious one but I feel like I had to mention it… the emotion Hayley fucking pours into this performance makes me want to cry.
Turn It Off live from Grand Casino in Hickley, MN (2017) we’ve all seen this one i think? but what an incredibly breath taking performance of turn it off. i mean.. damn.
Fake Happy performed at Rock for People in the Czech Republic (2017) the quality is insane for this one. I remember being totally obsessed with this. so i’m adding it here; to share with you.
Pool / Idle Worship in Paris (2018) something must be in the water when they go to paris because i love these videos.
Pool live in Amsterdam (2018) is another one that came to mind cuz the sound quality goes crazy. it’s just beautiful.
The full 2018 RED ROCKS show because the sound is great and i just remembered being obsessed with this. you’re kinda cracking my head open like an egg with this ask and i love it.
Paramore at Concrete Street Amphitheater (2018) incredible footage, incredible show.
Simmer live in Bakersfield (2022) i have to add this because she’s gone too soon. like they should be performing this one nonstop. but i also understand crystal clear is a bop so it’s fine… i’m fine. PLAY SUGAR ON THE RIM OR ELSE!!!
Crystal Clear debut in Dublin / Dreams (the cranberries cover) (2023) I mean….. we all know about the Dreams cover but I just have to add it here because wow. i love it. it’s incredible. and the crystal clear debut is just insane because the person filming that knew what they were doing. High Quality to the MAX baby.
Crave / Outro live at The O2 in London (2023) I mean I just love this video. like, what’s not to love.
Speaking of quality, this video of You First performed in Cleveland Ohio (2023) is available to watch in 2610p60, which basically means it’s better than your eyeballs. incredible stuff. just insane.
there’s probably a whole lot more i can’t think of at the moment, maybe i’ll make a list eventually. but i hope you like this in the mean time. ❤️ thanks for sending me this ask and letting me talk about my favorite band. send me an ask anytime (goes for everyone, i love this).

Perfect Pitch
Prologue
A/N: This is just the introduction chapter. If you will be invested in this idea I'll write the entire FF!
Couple: Noah Sebastian x Reader (in which reader is a talented musician and the new member of Bad Omens. This is an Alternative Universe in which the guys decide to pick up someone to fill in for Vincent.)
Content Warning: this FF will include describing different delicate subjects like states of anxiety, depression, gender violence ( bad place, the industry, for a girl) and possible suicidal thought. Be careful if you feel exposed by one or more of this topics. Feel free to write me in PM about anything ♡ Since the main characters of this story are real people, I want to underline that this is the idea I have of them and not the reality since I don't know Bad Omens. I don't want to be disrespectful in any way because I have tons of respect for the guys and their job. I also don't want to dig in their private lives or whatsoever aside the things they reveal by themselves on interviews of post on social, present and past.
Summary: reader has always wanted to be a musician her entire life. She pictures herself as first chair in a majestic orchestra, but thanks to her soft spot for metalcore, destiny is leading her somewhere special.
....
◇◇◇
The first time you have seen Noah Seabastian, you were in the pit. Vans Warped tour 2017, a fucking hot texan day. You had never heard about Bad Omens before, but they had such an incredible energy on stage. Good enough to surf crowding in front of the barricades to look closer. The bass guitar player smiked at you when he noticed that your shirt was lifted by the continued movement of hands all over your body. In the moment the security put your ass back to the ground you had found a pair of deep brown eyes on you. The singer was asking the crowd to sing along the main course but you had no idea about the lyrics so you simply smirked, lifting all way your tshit and unreveal the bra.
And.... thats it.
Rock'n'roll and a couple of extra beer made you brave.
Nothing less, nothing more.
No hot stories as a groupie walking her way to a bus tour or anything else. Just a glaze, one among millions.
At the end of that hot summer you started to looking for a job after you graduated at Julliard in NYC. It was the best time of your life. You have always been a talented violinist since you were 5. The prodigy from a very small town, ready to astonish New York.
But it never happened.
Always third chair.
Moving around the country as a ball in an arcade grew you tired after 6 months. The low salaries, the necessity of having a home for more than six weeks....
Settle down. Adopt a cat.
You wanted some stability.
So you started to work as a waitress. You have no idea of how you ended again in texas, but life in here is simpler compared with NYC.
Almost a year had passed when you met Shane and Zac. Summer was running out fast when the Oh Sleepers played in the small pub you were working. A couple of words after and a decent amount of good luck brought the singer to share with you an important information.
《 if you can play the bass, I know a band is looking for someone to fill in.》
You can play bass. You can actually play five instrument and sing. This is your only talent. Music. Feeling it. Being able to figure the notes in your head just listening at them once.
The ability of discover a F# when a pillow fall from the sofa on the ground. The ritmic dissonance of a A and a G in your steps while you walk home drunk.
The perfect pitch.
At least, you could work as a music engineer.
Shane was intrigued by the way you tuned a guitar whitout flicking before their show and from your musical curricula. It is far more than it should be in the industry. But he also saw something in you. How much you have work your way though the mud and sweat to end up in a pub, verbaly molested by creepy guys on daily basis.
Such a waste of rare talent.
《 try your luck. That's is his phone number. See if he still wants a replacement or if he's fine with is guitarrist as bass player. I lost track over their decisions, but their good friends of me. The singer slays on stage》
You picked up that piece of paper with a bit of concern. For this guy privacy in a first place but also for you. You were dreaming about orchestras, beautiful dresses with long sleeves to cover your tattoos.... but you have always wanted to be a rockstar.
A queen.
And you have never wanted to be that broke.
So... Why not?
《 alright. Thanks man. Just... what's the name of this guy?》
《 noah. Noah sebastian》.
***
I chose the Oh Sleeper to introduce bad omens to the reader because I've always find this video hilarious. Feel free to give me your opinion about this prologue!

SHE'S A REBEL ... SHE'S A SAINT - !!!
-- 𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚔𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚛 𝚊𝚞
--- ALL RISE !!
if you had told rhea ripley that she would one day live her biggest dream , she would have laughed at your surprise because of course she bloody would . for years THE JUDGEMENT DAY had rocked every local venue , toured japan , headlined in the UK , and had managed spots in download fest . but nothing could have prepared her for taking the US by storm in 2017 .
it started with a last minute invitation to warped tour , a fucking spot on journey's right foot stage smack in the middle of the day . even if the crowd wasn't there to see them ... the most dedicated would be swarming to catch the bigger acts after their set . prime time .
and all they had to do was NOT FUCK IT UP -
as talent would have it , they were the next big thing . there was something about the way rhea screamed her heart out behind the mic and the way her boys seemed to rally around her like family . within the next six years , the group had headlined coachella , we were young , bonaroo , lollapalooza , aftershock , and always made time to take the stage at warped tour until warped tour was no more .
but what goes up MUST come down -
she should have known that they couldn't last forever . too many strong personalities vying for love and attention when the whole world seemed to focus on her no matter how much credit she gave to her band mates . but what she couldn't have predicted was the band bailing on a new york show . she'd known that tensions were building , but she'd thought they could work it out ... instead , she'd had to come onstage HUMILIATED to announce that they wouldn't be playing their set .
it had broken her heart ... and made her more determined to keep living her dream , no matter who wanted to stomp on it . she now travels under her own name , backed by a band that was willing to help her stand tall .

An Exploitation of Nostalgia: The Return of Warped Tour
When it was first rumored a few weeks ago that we might get Warped Tour back, I decided not to rush to the blog, mainly because I didn't feel I had any new opinions, outside of the bad that would come along with it's return, but with this new development I figured a tiny opinion piece could be put out into the world.
The exploitation of nostalgia is something that I've wanted to talk about for a while now, so I kind of apologize preemptively for all the "associated" parties that will catch strays. Essentially they're looking at us "Elder Emos" and assuming we have adult money that we can just throw at them for crumbs of the music we raised ourselves on, without needing any of it to actually be authentic. I use Emo Nite as the OG and most real world example of this.
I started going to Emo Nite's in 2017 right after they switched their name from Taking Back Tuesday. (I might of went under that banner, but I don't think so.) They started at one of the smaller but still popular venues in the "scene" here, but after a couple years leveled up a venue size. I went few more times as it got bigger, but eventually it didn't feel like a bunch of "adult kids" eating up their youth, in a room anymore. It turned into a top 40 "Pop-Punk" playlist where deviation was frowned upon and Master of Ticket got their cut.
Now don't get me wrong, I get it and too do not wish to hear every deep cut that only 15 people in the crowd know by heart, but they could throw on a Cut Up Angels or Family Tradition every once in a while, just sayin.
They were now playing bigger Nites, got more expensive and sat with the likes Coachella and overall got too big to feel authentic to me anymore. Not saying I wouldn't go again, just that my desire for their specific curation of this type of event has dropped pretty low. To be clear though, I will never be too old to sing That's What You Get or Mr. Brightside in a room full of my peers, I even want to have an "emo night" at my own wedding one day. There are many Emo DJ club sets that exist nowadays, so they're also not the only team in the game anymore.
Branching beyond clubs is where we get into festival territory and essentially the state of the scene and "Emo Nostalgia" in a post Warped Tour world. Sad Summer Fest was the first one to really put themselves as a rising from the ashes tour and I think they did pretty decent that first year or so. As they've grown however sometimes it feels like the same few headliners every year and that has become more of a neutral drop in the bucket for them. Most of my complaints with them are based on when they did finally came back to me, cause they took a few years off, it was at an indoor venue and that is big NOPE for me when it comes to festivals.
Ohio is for Lovers is an Emo festival that's put itself out there as another drink in the cooler as well. They're a mid-rage tour, not hitting everywhere but they're also not a one weekend all summer event either. Other even smaller tours exist too, but to compete with the Coachella crowd, we got to talk shows like Riot Fest and especially the When We Were Young Festival, as that is the most egregious one, although it doesn't play like Warped Tour did.
When When We Young flashes lights like the Vegas Strip to entice everyone into thinking this is what we need in the world. It's a bright, shinny, chaotic, hot expensive mess and you cannot convince me otherwise. Not saying it's all bad, but it's not wildly accessible, barely reaches the actual Elder Emos and overly concentrates everything we love into one weekend where you have to pick and choose between the band that just got back together and the band that is the reason you behave the way you do today, not cool. In 2024 they're getting the greats to play your favorite albums front to back and many people won't get that experience. I'm not knocking the bands for participating cause someone gets to have that, but it won't be the same as if they went and just did a full anniversary tour, which I will never turn down. Plus the market for crammed alternative music fests in Vegas is getting a little saturated, even though funny enough I can only name 2 right now.
I am one of those unfortunate people, but honestly I didn't even try this year, for all the reasons I've already mentioned as well as it logistically being something I wouldn't have been able to to manage myself in the event I didn't have friends, which I don't.
All of that leads us to today where the blueprint has decided to make a comeback and in my personal opinion crap on all of our dreams and get a little brown stain on it's legacy. Warped Tour will come back in 2025 for it's 30th Anniversary. They'll make 3 different stops in Washington D.C, Long Beach CA and Orlando FL, spending 2 days at each post.
I didn't want them to come back because I knew it wasn't going to be the same. I know thing have to change, but I also feel like they weren't going to try with what they could, to begin with. I know things like prices would go up and a full cross county situation probably wouldn't be feasible, but my hope (fake hope at that) was that they'd at least try to give us something more accessible and tangible then some of the larger festivals that have followed.
Part of me wishes they would let it rest as the one that "got it right," for the most part. That being said it doesn't look like they're going through Ticketmaster and the prices aren't wildly unreasonable, so I'll give them those wins.
Realistically I just don't don't think this will give me much and although not perfect, there are a few other festivals and actual tours that are doing okay in it's place right now. Obviously it will take years for them to build legacies, but hopefully we give them the chance. Everyone is just selling us our youth to us right now and trying to convince the crowd that it's worth it, but I'm not sure it is. (Maybe if I had a ton of money and less anxiety I'd feel different.)
We'll see what comes out in the next year and hopefully my feelings will be more positive by then. And to the folks that get to go, I wish nothing but magic for you.

Warped Tour 2016- Full Sail Stage || Wembley Arena 2024 - Headlining
So freaking proud of Palaye Royale for how far they’ve come!!
Found my old 2016 Warped Tour program book and saw that Palaye Royale was playing at the Full Sail University stage. For anyone unaware, most of the time that stage was used for newer or smaller bands to play (not always, as seen for 2017 when they had some bigger bands play on it)
#wish I had listened to them earlier I could have seen them at warped!#so proud of these boys!!#palaye royale#emerson barrett#remington leith#sebastian danzig#wembley arena#warped tour
