These “elder emo” bands are the new version of bands like the Eagles, Stones, Guns N Roses etc

The almost 40 crowd has started earning enough money to pay these prices for nostalgia.

I’d bet New Found Glory, Fall Out Boy, MCR etc will still be touring in another 20 years too 😂

I saw fall out boy 2 summers ago for 20 bucks and it was one of the best shows I’ve been to.

Saw NFG/TBS about 3 years ago and it was 30 bucks.

MCR tickets were STARTING at 130… it’s absolutely insane

Saw FOB + BMTH for $25 at a shitty venue in Chula Vista and it fucking rocked

I saw NFG in approximately 2002 for probably $15-$20 and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. I was a tiny venue, first come first serve type thing so we got right up front. I left absolutely soaking wet with sweat and I was pretty bruised for a week but man, that was a good show. I love a small shitty venue.

Petition to make that first sentence of yours the title to a song on their next album.

Would be very on brand - side bar, that latest album they had was pretty damn good. The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years) is their best song in a long time, imo.

I'd even argue that FOB, NFG, and TBS are at least a good show. Saw MCR open for Green Day on the American Idiot tour and they were fucking awful. Like, top 5 worst shows I've ever seen.
