Re: your 2014 concerts
Warped Tour nowadays, I hardly recognize it. I took a look at last year's lineup and didn't get what the target audience was anymore. When I was still going to it every year, it was most punk/pop-punk, hardcore and the Third-Wave ska revival, with the occasional "flavor of the month" genre (in '99, it was hip-hop, and I saw Eminem before he was super famous Black Eyed Peas before they sucked, and Ice-T, who was awesome). Last year's lineup was so all over the map that I couldn't quite picture the crowd. I mean, Black Dahlia Murder is awesome, but a blackened melodic death metal band on Warped Tour? And side-by-side with some of the holdovers of the old punk/ska/core days, like Let's Go Bowling or Less Than Jake? Just freaking weird.
ETA: This year is just as off the wall, so you've got Born of Osiris, a drugged out prog/extreme metal band, on the same bill as Yellowcard and (of course) Less Than Jake? I'd get schizophrenia from a bill that bounces around that many genres.
