For those of you who don't know, on Wednesday, November 15th all pop punk emo fans got some very saddening news. After 23 years Warped Tour is coming to an end. Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman announced on Wednesday that 2018 will be the final year of a full country Warped Tour.

Warped tour was a place where you could go to listen to all your favorite bands, meet some of your icons, and just time to forget whatever was going on in your life and connect with different people all while listening to your favorite music. It was a time for you to experience crowd surfing, though you were petrified that you were going to be dropped any second, and it was a time to watch people in the mosh pit go crazy. Who knows maybe you even dared to jump in and join them.

If you're like me and were really desperate to meet people from your favorite band, but either they didn't have a meet and greet scheduled or their meet and greet was during another show you really wanted to see then you risked it and snuck into the back where all of their trailers were parked after their show. Pictured above is me completely fan girling over Charles Trippy because I will forever be a We The Kings fan until I die. Yes it may not of been completely legal to go back there, but I got to meet Charles and also Derek Sanders from Mayday so I'd say the pros totally outweighed the cons.

If you are a diehard pop punk fan and you've never been to a Warped your, or even if you've experienced Warped before and are an alum, I highly recommend going this summer. From what they have let on it's going to be the best one yet.

All I have left to say is, Van's Warped Tour thank you for giving me one of the best summers of my life. You will be missed. Stay forever warped.
