Here’s a fun activity you can do. You can find live shows of semi obscure bands you like uploaded by people who bring camcorders to lots of music shows in their area. Already this is really fun bless those people a million times for their service. And then you can find other bands both on that channel generally and from whatever tour/day at that venue that band was at. You can find stuff that’s super obscure you can find whole shows that literally only have like 20 views. It’s really beautiful. Chances are the channel will end up going to a lot of stuff similar in vibes to the band you already like and also often bands that are similar will tour together, and bands that are friends will tour together. It’s a very fun way to find really obscure stuff and get into that as well as see stuff featuring the band you already like! I found a band I had never heard of today and for one of their songs they had the trumpet player from the band I already know come on for one of the songs. It was really fun ^_^

honestly so much about this festival has turned out so much better than we were all fearing, and none of it has anything to do with the festival itself.
last minute cancellation due to weather conditions that the festival SHOULD have accounted for and communicated much earlier? fuck it, here are free concerts put together by numerous bands solely because they didn’t want their fans to leave disappointed.
the festival attempting to shoehorn MCR back into a commodified version of them from years back because it’s what was popular and brought in crowds and what sold tickets? fuck it, they’re going on stage as elderly caricatures of their revenge-era selves, acting up their own stereotypes yet playing only the hits or the songs that explicitly call out the fuckery of this industry.
not to mention on top of all of this that the concerns many of us had about crowd safety were largely a non-issue because the crowd was so full of rich-kid clout chasers who barely even cared about the set being played once they realized they weren’t getting “pretty, compliant, nostalgic mcr who loves you and plays your favorite song and then does what they’re told and fits their role from the past as if 20 years haven’t passed”.
honestly this has been a wild ride in the best possible way.

a band’s success is truly measured by how many homoerotic friendships there are between the members . the more the merrier !
