That's basically what comes to mind when someone says "Summer." I've been getting into my Summer Mode by listening to awful, catchy, house-party type pop songs. Mostly by 3OH!3. When I was in 8th grade I went to the Warped Tour and I thought I was so awesome because I got to hang out with 16 year old fan girls wearing too much makeup and ripped fishnets with skate shoes. 3OH!3 was there but I skipped their set because I wanted to stand on line for the Escape the Fate signing (don't judge, they weren't as creepy back then). I was basically hyperventilating for the three seconds I was within a one-foot vicinity of Max Green. Then the security guy told me to move. But the best part, at least in my 8th-grade mind, was the fact that I was front row middle for Escape the Fate's set. Looking back, I'm not going to deny that it was fun. I got kicked in the head multiple times but y'know at least I experienced having my eardrums blown out with angst-y, melodramatic "alternative rock," and screaming myself hoarse. Many of the kids that attend Warped Tour have side-bangs (usually with neon streaks), and are the type that make themselves up for Photobooth pictures and post "artsy" photos they got off "we heart it" on their super artsy tumblr. It's an enthusiastic crowd.

So here's to Summer I guess.

This Teen Vogue editorial is more Fall than Summer, but I imagine they are the super glamorous high fashion teenagers that would attend a Warped Tour exclusively for models. If they lost the blazers and gloves it would be perf. |
