When We Were Young is a special time, when we relish an amalgamation of gut-wrenching nostalgia pangs and realize how much of our brain’s storage has been put to work holding onto MxPx lyrics instead of our social security numbers. It’s a place for fellow hoarders of Good Dye Young products who never shy away from a pyramid stud. It’s a moment where all of the Warped Tour eras collide: From hip-hop legends to pop-punk royalty, audiences were constantly surprised as they stood in the crowd at each of the four stages throughout the weekend, watching Lil Wayne singing “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous” with Good Charlotte, seeing Tony Hawk crash Goldfinger’s set, and Steve Aoki collab with Yellowcard. Alongside the greats, exciting younger acts hit the desert, too, artists who we’ve seen so astutely interpret this corner of alt music we’ve always loved in modern and insightful ways — from Jean Dawson to the Wrecks, EKKSTACY to KennyHoopla.
