I was supposed to go to Warped Tour in 2018. Then life stuff happened and I ended up having to move cities. Maybe it's better that I didn't get to go. It's very likely I would have hated the festival atmosphere anyway (too hot, too much standing up, not enough bathrooms, no friends to go with). I'm content to remember it as this legendary thing that happened during my childhood. Sort of like how people from the '60s speak about Woodstock even if they didn't go themselves.
Definitely understand this. I think honestly these days it's probably more geared up towards older attendees, ie, more bathrooms, more available booze and comfort add-ons for extra money. But either way I'm happy to just let it be this scrappy thing from the 00s which was good fun and I enjoyed from afar.
