You know you’re a true millennial emo boi when you’re disappointed in some of these album choices but you’re still going
Saves the Day should be playing Through Being Cool and Senses Fail should be playing Let It Enfold You 😂
@@fissi0n470 The Used should be playing their self titled album. MCR should be playing Three Cheers since it’s their actual breakthrough album and next year is its 20th anniversary.
Big facts!!!!😂😂😂😂
Would’ve hoped for NFG to play catalyst personally
@@QueLoKevinso shouldn’t they be playin tht album in the actual 20th anniversary?
When people make the typical “Fyre Fest” comparisons, it almost feels like a mixture of FOMO and straight up Schadenfreude (finding joy in the misery of others). 😰
You can see all these bands on tour any day of the week lol
Schadenfreude is feeling immense embarrassment on someone elses behalf tho isn't it?
@@Fullcollapse1 where? Who? Not sure what you’re talking about lol but you really couldn’t have made a comment that screams of jealousy more lol good job buddy for proving OPs point lol
@@Disestablishmeno, schadenfreude, the emotional experience of pleasure in response to another's misfortune. Schadenfreude is a German word that combines Schaden, which means “damage,” and Freude, which means “joy.” The concept is common to people across cultures, but some languages do have comparable words.
@@Fullcollapse1no, you can't. all at the same time? all playing albums from when I was in high school ? I just left and it was amazing and I also love all the marketing. this video is trash.
Playing full albums for the concept is AMAZING! Am I the only one? That's way cooler than "Just hits"
Yeah, especially givin that some artists will overlap, it's great to know the setlist in advance to make a better choice
I'm an album guy too, but are these all album artists?
A lot of albums, especially back then are like 2 single worthy bangers, 3 okay songs, then 7 filler tracks that you'd never listen to on their own.
@@Nersius Who cares? I mean sure, seeing LIT play an album instead of their hits might be kinda strange, but overall it'll be a really cool set of shows and less redundant.
Black parade is not their best album if you ask any millennial, which this is blatantly targeting. 3 cheers is what they should play
I like the Idea but I'd rather just hear a top songs playlist from the older albums since I haven't seen most of the bands for some reason. yeah.. like atreyu. so sad. might be worth for acouple songs.
this got Old Man Yelling at Clouds energy
WWWY is probably gonna become a generational festival. Bands that are hot currently in 15 years are gonna be looked at the same way FOB, MCR, BMTH, Blink are now. Every generation becomes nostalgic for the one before it or the one they feel they feel they “missed out on”
I mean I missed out because I was 10 years old and didn't know better lol
I doubt it, they'll need to come up with a different theme then, a nostalgia fest sure, but the current WWWY is purely 2000s/milennial/emo pop punk nostalgia.
Waiting on the when we were young sound cloud Edition
Yeah exactly
I don't think so. With each new generation, songs have an increasingly shorter term of relevance. See, you can perfectly see young people today liking bands from the 70s and 80s, just as fans of bands from that era continue to listen to these artists to this day, even more than 40 years later, but how many people do you really imagine are consuming Machine Gun Kelly in 30 years, whether they are old fans or future fans?
Not sure if Finn has been to a festival because what he’s complaining about is exactly how all festivals work. Unfortunately you’re not going to catch everyone so you gotta pick and choose
I've never felt like more of a millennial than listening to this and feeling personally attacked by everything Finn says lol
Man same, Finn is such a hater.
@@SourRobbonaw you just soft, he roasts everybody bro 😂.
@@Cluster71 you’re not wrong, on both points 🤙🏽
I’m that high school nostalgia sucker.
used to laugh at the 45 year olds with their teased out 80s hair and bangs still going to see motley crue in 2005.
that is us now
I went to WWWY this year and they had 4 stages with lots of overlap. It was very difficult to see everyone we wanted to see. I imagine having all the bands play their whole album is going to make that overlap so much worse. It's unfortunate.
Last year had six stages 😂
@@MichelJPW yikes!
Damn
If they get rid of the skate ramp from this year they can add additional stages - I’d be okay with that. That fit the line up for this year better
WWWY has 4 stages? Just like cancer
The "theres no women or poc" point is silly, like, scene and emo culture back then was mostly white and girls werent that interested in being in a band as much as these days, plus, the amount of non-white people interested in alt culture back then was minimal, everything back then was more divided, im not saying its right, but like you said, thats just how it was
The lack of Asians in the NFL is just sickening…
Eisley’s lead singer is married to Max Bemis of Say Anything so it would be advantageous to book them. And yes, I would see Eisley, they were my fave band in 2004.
Between numetal and pop punk will we ever truly get old? And will Finn ever run out of content? I feel like we're missing a hardcore festival headed by henry rollins next.
LDB fest lol
Punk rock bowling has always been around, new England hardcore fest back now too
Will it eventually be. called "When Our Backs Didn't Hurt" and offer seating ? lmao
theres a 3 day hardcore fest here in philadelphia thats been going on since like 2006 and it'll have a decent blend of newer bands and legacy acts
I forgot we couldn’t have fun with flyers anymore. I missed the memo I guess
I feel like if they are going to make 50 bands play on a single day, they should at least have to publish a tentative schedule so people can see which bands they want to see will be in competing time slots.
I was more disappointed that they don't make the recordings of the sets available. There were some bands I missed and I'd love to see what I paid for but missed trying to navigate the chaos.
Went in 2022 and 2024, they do publish a schedule
I'm 43 which kinda puts me in no mans land as far as if I'm gen X or a millennial. I went to this WWWY last month and as a dude who went to all the warped tours back in the day I was expecting the same kind of set up, both the good and the bad. And I have to say the way this festival was put together was absolutely awesome. For the amount of people that were there at gate open it went really smoothly. As you walked in they immediately handed you a few bottles of water and then had free hydration stations throughout the grounds. The orientations of the stages made it fairly easy to bounce back and forth. And yes, I did have to pick and chose which bands I wanted to see but honestly I didn't care that much. Sure the tickets were expensive but it was an awesome vacation weekend for my wife and I. As for everyone complaining about diversity both in regards to gender or race I guess you can't please everyone. This is a representation of the scene back then and this is what it was. It's like going to a hip hop festival and complaining about the lack of white rappers.

He said 'shit" 2 times, no epic music was played, Finn's sickly pale skin is an inappropriate image. Are you watching the same video ?
Coheed being at a WWWY fest playing good apollo is kinda like sending rush to a kids talent show just spice up the talent.
To be fair, Coheed were popular with the emo kids in their early years
@SonofSethoitae lol, totally missed the point of this comment.
Went to this years wwwy and it was easily the best ran festival ive ever been to. Every single band started on time. It was super impressive.
Great take on the women and minorities stuff Finn honestly, people are being too sensitive
Holy shit babe wake up, new fin drop
They need to do this like Rockfest in Wisconsin. A couple of days, a pile of good bands and it's always been accessible for whatever budget you have. I went ages ago and it was so much fun and it's still going solid.
My thought: $350 to have the opportunity to see every band i’ve ever loved at one time is worth it even if i don’t get to see the entire set for every single band. MCR tickets for one show were ⅓ of that for ONE band. This is worth it imo for a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would never go again but they’re targeting those of us who consider this a bucket list item, not those of us who have seen these bands hundreds of times already
But the thing is, it’s not the opportunity to see every band. You are guaranteed to not be able to see even close to every band. You will have to choose between some of your favorite bands and you’re gonna miss a lot. Also 3 cheers is MCR’s best album
Where'd you pay a 1/3 of the price of this for MCR. My two MCR tickets were $1800? My one wwwy ticket was $550?
Your Old Uncle Finn hitting the logical high points. "How come Band XYZ isn't at the festival?" Finn - Are they still a band? Are they touring? Do they even want to appear at your festival?
The concept as a whole is pretty cool. The issue is that each band will need a MINIMUM of 30 minutes to be able to complete the full album play through. It is pretty normal for multiple bands to be playing at the same time. Its not a new thing to have to pick and choose who to see. For example, seeing ADTR do Homesick is top priority as it is one of my favorite albums of all time. The whole concept of maybe missing bands is something you are just going to have to deal with. My guess is that the main headliners (MCR, Fall out Boy, and ADTR) will likely play more than just that album.
I think the whole concept is just one album and nothing else
@@petergabriel8961It says in small text on the poster "full album and more" or something.
Not all bands will play the full album, I not sure how most people dont get that. The bigger bands like MCR and ADTR may be given more time to play the whole album. But most bands will play the biggest hits off the albums/what they can recall how to play, on top of other random songs
@tommydude969 that's a good point. How many of those bands remember how to play a random song they made 20 years ago and haven't played since?
I'd wager that most of the potential festival folks already have these albums at home. Just have a house party.
I don't have any friends for that lol
I never got the chance to go to Warped, so that's the only reason I'm willing to spend the money on WWWY
From the minute 10 to the end of this video, you could have summarized that those who are complaining about women and POC, those are the sensitive/cancel culture people who DID NOT grow in that era. Us millennials don't give a fuck and will still attend. This last WWWY Fest was actually great and enjoyable imo to see people over the age of 30 😂🤷♂️
Remember the ballerina from the Helena video? That song isn't on Black Parade but we threw some ballerina slippers on the flyer anyway because member!?!
WWWY remembers
They wont only play a full album. The rest of the hits are gonna be played as well. At least for the bands that close
I'll say only about 30% of the crowd seemed to be excited for 100 Gecs. Throughout the whole day everyone cheered every artist until they came on, completely sucked the energy out of the place after Knocked Loose
I try to like 100 Gecs, but I have the same reaction to them as trying to force feed myself cold eggs and soggy bread after already being full.
To be fair 100 Gecs and Deftones are about as different as two alternative artists can get
@@luke5100They suck plain and simple haha idc about these dorks feelings. Like your gatekeeping lol😅
Saves the Day not playing Through Being Cool is an absolute travesty
I went to WWWY this year and it was by far the best music festival I've ever gone to. Not just because of the member berries from my glory days (I'm 42), but because of how well it was put on. There were plenty of food and drink vendors - I never waited in line more than a couple minutes. Tons of free water stations (much needed on a sunny day in the desert). Even the bathroom lines weren't bad. Considering the insane number of people there, I don't think it could've been put on much better. I saw merch lines were insanely long, but I'm not a big merch guy so that didn't really impact me - so there's the one criticism. Otherwise, it was amazing and I look forward to the next one.
I agree! With the exception of this one frozen lemondae stand, I was only in food/drink lines for like 10-15 minutes max, which was pretty quick to me. My only real complaint was the merch lines bc I had to leave during Green Day's set to get mine (line was ridiculously long all day before that). But overall it was super fun and I'm going to the '24 show, too :)
Fully agree
There are young people like me (25, 1st wave of GenZ) who love mid-early 00s emo/phc/metalcore. We'll make sure that WWWY last more than 10 years lol
26 and same here!
Someone said highschool and I came running.
Also, why ate aome people complaining about the lack pf diversity in gender and race??
There WEREN'T any popluar black groups bacl then, and there WEREN'T any big female lead emo bands??? I mean, it's a nostalgia festival...
That would be like complaining about a Neil Armstrong movie not having Neil as a black female landing on the moon...um okay hahaha
Hey Monday is playing 🔥🔥🙌🏾
I heard that FOB just hadn’t decided which album yet - which honestly seems even stranger than just deciding not to do it, like they’re headlining
I hope it's From Under The Cork Tree
I think it's the S/T album
I did not attend the first 2 years, but i jumped on booking a hotel when i saw this. Some of my favorite albums from these bands and i love the nostalgia. In my mid 30s and i saw these album cycles when they first happened and i still listen to them. Not gonna complain about prices because if you piece out all the tours that could happen, you’d be spending alot anyway.
Also, what’s genuinely funny about the “it’s sexist” post shown in this, they legit went outside the genre to find a band with a woman in it.
Like Rilo Kiley was always called indie and was exclusively liked by people who lied about people knowing who they were when they got back together.
I wish it was the used-the used, my chemical romance- 3 cheers for sweet revenge and Coheed & Cambria - In keeping secrets of silent earth 3. The 3 band I would be most excited to see.
Just remember all the millennials who can’t pay off their student loans dropping $1200 to attend this festival
Lol yeah exactly
Lol my god, I remember paying $150 at the gate for bonnarroo 2005(and that was 4 nights and 3 days of music). $1000+ is ridiculous for any festival
I'm going almost solely for MCR
I’m a big fan of the old album concept because I was a literal child when a lot of these came out and couldn’t see them live. That Used album literally played on Radio Disney lol.
I was there this year and thought it was ran pretty good! Plenty of water stations, lots of food and drink stalls, always found place to sit if needed, and stages rotate at two of the 4 so it was nonstop. Overlap wasn't really an issue for the bands I was into but sets were pretty short and there was a ton of people at the Saturday show. Had a great time all in all! Next year will sell out and be extended another day, as always.
Does anyone else not care for shows where artists play records cover to cover?
I get the appeal, but it feels very phoned in, a lot of the times the artist resents their old material because they’ve since grown as a person from the time they wrote it, and as an audience member, it completely takes away the anticipation of “what will they play next?” That makes the concert experience so memorable.
I’ve seen Blink play Enema Cover to Cover, The Wonder Years with the Greatest Generation, and Springsteen play the River, and all fantastic shows, but the lack of Spontaneity and speculating the next song as the guitars/bass play open chord progressions kind of water down the experience in my opinion
Atreyu playing the curse without alex seems like a horrible idea
The people commenting where are the women and POCs in the emo scene must be trolls, right?
i would love to go to this festival, but the ticket prices are outlandish for a lot of people including myself. the tickets are literally like, half of my rent before travel (if sick new world is anything to go off of). it’s kinda disappointing and comes off leaving me feel like these bands i’ve loved aren’t in it for what they should be (don’t get me wrong, get the bag) and just play it for 💴
If you look up most festivals they’re all pretty pricey. People took Warped Tour for granted so now we’re stuck with big festivals only.
@@josuesamaniego182 agreed. This is in line with just about every other festival for the last 10+ years
Crazy how they aren't willing to create a east coast equivalent. Miami, NYC, DC, Baltimore. Just one city would make so many more people go and maybe make it more affordable for people who would have to spend a few grand on plane tickets in addition to the concert and hotel.
@@josuesamaniego182This is a rip off for 1 day only!! Riotfest is 3 days for $250 and just as many bands.
There’s payment plans for it and it’s a year away. You just need to put down 20 bucks and then manage 5 or 6 payments over 8 months. It’s not that difficult
People saying the flyer looks like shit don't remember how garbage the last two were. At least this is mildly interesting garbage.
Great points as always Finn! Love your take on this.
Wild coincidence that since this video was made Hey Monday have now been announced to play the festival. There’s also several other bands been announced that predominantly feature female members.
The funny thing is that as of today Hey Monday has been added. One of my best friends is in the band and told me it all like transpired in a matter of three hours 😂
Ah, good ol' high school. All they have to do is throw in a free varsity jacket with the purchase of a ticket and I'm in!
Hey Finn, great vid as always. And it will be interesting to see how they manage all those bands in 1 day. I went to the Bamboozle festival in New Jersey in 2007 and they had like 7 stages (3 sections with side by sides and one stand alone). Even with driving from Toronto Ontario to East Rutherford, getting a hotel and food, etc however it wasn't even CLOSE to $1000...maybe $400 tops.
Something I noticed as the video ended and the "back" album cover was blown up is that on the left hand side the very last artist listed is L.S. Dunes who doesn't have an album listed next to them and I'd never heard of. So I did a quick search and they're a super group combining Saosin/Circa Survive front man, MCR guitarist, Coheed guitarist, and Thursday bassist & drummer. They've only been together since 2022 and had their first tour in 2023.
It'll be interesting to see if they play their own new stuff from their only album or if they pull out the hits from their collective bands.
I think one of the biggest things everyone is missing is preparing for the lack of nurses missing that weekend who will be attending.
It should be a two day event from the start if you're going to have this many bands on 4 stages. Instead they sell a single day twice and make way more money. I was there last month and it was so crowded that I couldn't get within 200 yards of Blink
I fucking llve this flyer design 😂
Im 100% convinced that the ppl who came up with this are the ppl who bullied emos back in high school. They just grew up.
There were like 4 women and 2 black guys in the entire genre back in the day. This was the skinny white boy era. Expecting other demographics and crying about it is just ridiculous. Go listen to hip hop and rap.
Finn you said the same thing about sick new world. You should collab with one of these festivals for some content
I tried! They denied me for press credentials.
CDs, is that a streaming service?
$325 ticket, $200 flight round-trip (2 shitty red eyes, in & out I'm close), $125 for food & drinks (sneak in liquor as always) & I'm in for $625 👍
What about lodging?
Love your content, Finn.
One thing to add regarding the "nostalgia bashing": Cashing in on nostalgia (by, say, planning a festival, or a themed cruise) is objectively morally superior to cashing in on the cynicism and resentment (by, say, podcasting or vlogging, or even just shitting on something for clicks or likes and the dopamine rush that follows) of that nostalgia.
I agree! My entire main channel is cashing in on millennial nostalgia
Hopefully some of these bands will tour on the albums they’re playing since they’re gonna have to get together and rehearse them anyway. Would much rather pay a reasonable price to see STD play Stay What You Are in a nearby city instead of paying $1000 to fly out to a one day fest.
No Relient K? What a joke, “mmhmm” and “two lefts…” are literally the two best pop punk albums of the 2000’s. It’s insane how little respect they get just because they were a “Christian band”. The quality and consistency of their output is absolutely unmatched by any other band of the era and I’m not Christian.
Not very sunny with a high of 75 of them
Frrr
@@lukebryant5017 I think it’s impossible to be sad when you’re listening to that song
Alesana....oh my God
If you go,they put on a great show
This ticket price is stupid. I would never pay this much.
Living in Australia, I've been fortunate enough to see some of these album playthroughs back in the day e.g. MCR Black Parade, underoath playthroughs etc.
Sadly the prices are actually reasonable in this market. If you can see half these bands at the VIP level, you’re still getting a good deal. MCR, Blink 182 etc tickets alone for a single date can be 500-1000
The point being raised about female artists and people of color is so incredibly cringe to me.
agreed.
It’s so true tho
That person is obviously not one of us/wasn’t there and is a gen z just watching his video
My friends and I do Riot Fest in Chicago almost every year, which we really enjoy. It is a three day fest and has some overlap, but not much.
My friends last year asked me if I want to do WWWY instead. While the lineup was amazing, it falls on my son’s birthday weekend. I didn’t go. While 60 bands were listed, they only saw 8 bands because of the constant overlap.
I enjoy the 2nd and 3rd tier bands, but I can see them for a few bucks.
This is starting to become the general price index for festivals and it’s going up;(
I remember some people who went to Sick New World (which had a similar layout I think) saying that there was some audio bleed and other problems at the smaller stages. Hopefully that's all sorted out.
It is what it is. Rock music since then has become if not vastly more diverse then certainly more diverse than what it was in the 2000's.
I went to WWWY in 2022. I did have to make tough choices and miss some acts i wanted to see but I don't think that's a bad thing every act is saw was great. I still saw 10 hours worth of music which felt like enough. Me and my girlfriend did the whole trip spending just under $1500 combined including concert tickets and air fair. We didnt drink, gamble, or buy merch. We stayed off the strip only eating out a couple times. Vegas has good grocery stores and public transit.
To your point on Hey Monday, Cassadee Pope performed both days this year with multiple bands. Avril Lavigne performed too and wasn’t on the docket.
because high school was our last good moment before the multiple crises we've had to endure since adulthood.
One of the most interesting things about the bands this year is the apparent Chiodos reunion. They haven't toured in about 10 years.
Pretty clean Micro Machines guy impression listing off the names. Didn't stumble at all.
There is a type of stage where it rotates. On one side, a band plays, and on the other, the band sets up. KROQ did this kind of thing with their festivals.
rip see dees 💔
15:30 wheres the black and white striped arm sleeves, black chucks and skinny jeans?
Last year the had 5SOS, so the fact that they have Neck Deep and State Champs (both performed last year too) means they could’ve brought in other more recent bands for this like Stand Atlantic, Meet Me @ the Alter, Yours Truly, or Hot Milk all have at least 1 woman in the band, or at least for the bare minimum had brought Flyleaf(granted Lacey’s no longer in the band but they still tour with different female lead singer)..so it was possible for them to do
I got to the part with the purple hoodie and looked down.. I'm wearing that hoodie right now lmfao
we pretend is nostalgia like the 00s alt scene wasnt the best thing for every teen ever.
“There’s no way Coachella will ever happen. It’s just a money grab for people in the moment.”
I need Ozzfest and/or Mayhem Fest to come back! That was high school for me!
Admittedly I didn't listen to a lot of these bands, but Paramore is the only female front-led band I can remember, and I don't recall any other female musicians, whether on keyboards or bass.
I don't recall much ethnic, let alone sexual diversity, either.
Kim Gordon, Michael Stipe, and Hootie, were well past their prime.
It's time to face that the 2000s were a simpler time.
If yall were in Florida in 2020 or 2021, I remember this festival called REBLE ROCK and it got cancelled twice. 2020 it got cancelled because of covid, obviously. And in 2021 it got cancelled because, supposedly the festival grounds got to wet or muddy and they cancelled the whole thing.
I dont care if there are hardly any female bands in this lineup. People are always trying to get angry about something.
Also, there are gonna be so many women than anyway because of MCR and FOB 😂😂😂
Too much info on one flyer. The distillers doing a full album is cool but they only really had 3 of them. It’s a 1/3 of all their songs.
I wish they would bring Warped back or make something similar. The fact that you paid $50 to see a bunch of bands and could meet them was a steal. We always saw all the bands we wanted even if we had to leave one set a little early. I always made a point to meet one band i liked and get an autograph or photo or both. So many fun memories. Plus the fact that it was accessible for most people since they went around the country. I'm not traveling all the way to Vegas, having to fight for time off for travel, spend hundreds on food and stay etc just to maybe see half the bands I wanna see. Not worth it.
It's way worth it .. just seeing fall out boy is half the price of the whole ticket to this
We going to talk about Chiodos getting back together?! That is the only thing that I really got out of this announcement.
I like how fall out boy is too cool to play from under the cork tree 😂
Pink and green stage are next to each other and are for the headliners. It’s a really good way of bringing in the next act without having to take a break for setups
My ticket says the event starts at 3 am so maybe its just a 24 hour event which like you said not every band can play their full set but it's close right?
having Nada Surf at When We Were Young...would be like having Paramore at Pitchfork...it kinda works I guess lol culture clash haha
I’m going to this festival with my dad and stepmom! I’m 13 and this will be my first festival! Wish me luck guys!
I saw UnderOath perform in Oshkosh, WI at a festival. It was a rock festival, and the weather was bad. There was literally no one in the whole vip area. Spencer spent the whole shortened set because of the weather, complaining about the vip area.
chiodos is back again? thank god
LIKE WE NEVER KNEW EACHOTHER AT ALLLL (out of tune)
Finn, speaking of KennyHoopla you put me on to him in 2021 and Ive been a fan ever since. Saw him live 3 times now and each time its the best most energetic show Ive ever seen! Thanks man!
2023 was absolutely incredible
The ageaverage at Sweden Rock (kind of the swedish wacken) is like 52 or something. They will keep going. They will se it as a tradition!
