Look at that... you made it through another week! Yes, it's Friday and it's Early Access day. And 30 year olds, guess what? All your favorite bands from when you were 16 are now nostalgia acts. That's gotta make you feel old, right? BUT, look on the bright side (optimism isn't something emo kids are generally known for but let's try it anyway), this means all your favorite bands who you thought would never tour again are touring again! And so, this week's video is about a festival being put on at the end of the year featuring a bunch of "old" pop punk and emo bands, which people are... let's call it "cautiously pessimistic" about. Enjoy!

Late 90s/Early 2000s kids were super excited to hear about the "When We Were Young" festival, headlined by Paramore and My Chemical Romance, and featuring over 60 other bands that remind you of the days when people ruined their depth perception by swooping their hair over one eye. But that excitement dwindled when they found out that the organizers are the same people responsible for another recent concert that was a disaster... and dozens that were fine, but one of them ended in tragedy, so why wouldn't this one, right emo kids?! Buckley looks at the hyperbolic reaction Twitter and news sites have had to the upcoming festival, the general public's responsibility at a concert, and the market value of nostalgia.
