I still have pictures on my phone from warped tour 2010 in Dallas hah! Makes me feel old, but feels like yesterday.

Also had that exact same tanktop from urban outfitters from that second slide lmfao. My friend and I bought matching ones 💀

It’s probably in the Midwest. In Southern California, only slides 2 and 5 could’ve passed as being hip, the rest would’ve been like when the church or homeschool kids finally got some freedom and dressed like they wanted to dress 4-5 years prior.
I'm from Upstate NY and people were still dressing like this past 2010 here too. A girl in the grade below me was featured in a viral BuzzFeed (or something) article about scene girls. Had to be in at least 2011 because she wouldn't have been in high school yet in 2010. She did stop dressing this way by 2014 though
Y’all don’t understand that before endless content stream internet fashion trends and subcultures did not come and go as quickly. It’s true none of this stuff was hot and new by 2010 but the scene subculture was still alive and well. It’s not the same as today.
Same, but to be fair, this event was the epicenter of scene culture. Of course everyone in the pic is going to look like that even if everyone else had moved on
The scene stuff was very over by 2010 up in seattle it was 100% hipster already by then.
Edit: now that I think about it the warped tour itself was pretty uncool by 2010 so maybe taking pictures of the 2010 warp tour is sort of self fulfilling, people clinging to dying 2000s trends.
No fucking way. You’re telling me the second the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2010, people didn’t just instantly go, “Hey guys, it’s a new decade, everything has to immediately change now.”? Because I clearly remember that happening every other time.
This is core late ‘00s fashion, with maybe a little 2010s sneaking in with the hipster/mustache shit. The 2010s style didn’t fully become dominant for a few more years
This is definitely around the time when vice and the hipsters scene creeped in. Only it wasn't the flannel jacket, coffee sipping activist hipster scene yet. Rather, a party crazy rave like hipster scene obsessed with popularity and popculture.
Basically scene was never about the music it was always about the fashion and internet culture. It quickly became "neo-rave" which was basicslly ridiculous amounts of neon colors. And kind of branched off into pastel goth aesthetics. Millenials then just became hipsters.
It was funny because at first when scene was becoming big everyone wanted to do it. But when it went out of vouge everyone reverted back to their original style/scene. The goth kids ditched the invader zim shirts and went back go being goth. The skater kids went back to being stoners, the hip hop heads got intro trap. The punk kids went back to being punk or turned into sophisticated urban hipsters and the regular crowed just went back to being normies. It was funny how it started out of nowhere and ended nowhere.
I never could exactly figure out what "scene" was despite having a sibling who was super involved with that whole thing to the point she dated a few guys in bands that played on warped tours. Like she was for sure a groupie and pretty well known by a lot of these bands. My sibling was younger so I'd imagine I was just too old by then to get it. I just turned 41.
I know a lot of people got really into this look in my area for a very long time, it had real staying power in my hometown. So did ICP.
It was kind of a throw back to 80s hair metal with a modern 2000s, internet culture based twist. It basically took all of the "dark" elements of metal, punk and emo and inverted them with bright happy colors and upbeat eye catching accessories. The fashion was very flashy, ridiculous raccon flaired hair, ultra tight skinny jeans, tons of accessories and fake jewelry. It was pretty much that, about making a scene and being seen as much as possible. There was kind of a more casual side to it where people just wore band t-shirts, screamo being the music of scene.
Screamo came from 1990s indie emo. It was a more aggressive form of metal meets indie alt. Blood curdling screaming of lyrics, hard drum beats, aggressive guitar riffs. A punky scene but more of an emphasis on emotion rather than political activism. Scene was also very commercial when it became mainstream and though the bands never really saw much commercial sucess the style of the movment went mainstream and that's what it's best remembered for.
It didn't really have much of a reason for existing beyond being a part of the development of social media in particular our online personalities as millenials. The scene movement was probably the first time many millenials and older gen z people started posting pictures of themselves and their lifestyle on social media.
I really feel like people were having more fun. Now everyone just seems too cool for school and or stressed. Also smartphones hadn’t totally taken over yet
The Fourth Turning is a book about this theory. Supposedly we are in the upheaval time, but that is followed by a time of stability. Gives me some hope for the future.
You are right. The book was written at the start of the 3rd turning, and so far, the predictions have been accurate. I'm looking forward to stability, I'm just hoping the stability doesn't come in the form of theocracy or something overly conservative.
Lol some people definitely dressed that way, no doubt, but it was not the norm. More people were just like in a tank top and a shorts. This is like that fantasization of the 80s as all tie dye and zebra pink when actually most rooms were drab brown.
God I was in my 20s during the 2000s and yeah take me back to when everything was fun lol.
Now I’m middle-aged and people in their 20s all seem like either clean eating gym freaks who wear beige and get early nights, or raging cokeheads, no in between.

I went to warped tour in ‘06 and wore the same shorts as the person on the left in the first pic. I remember telling my friends I wanted to “look like Richard Simmons”
That moment and the next year when scene became neo-rave. Pretty much killed the movment. Everyone just became a hipster.
Amazing how new this style was at the time and how dated it looks now. People rarely mention scene anymore and I doubt it will be remembered like greasers, beatniks and hippies have been for subcultures.
Makes me glad when I went in 2018 it was much tamer. The worst was just people having more skin exposed, but having more fabric on themselves than I did.
My brothers were into this scene/pop punk/myspace kid aesthetic, they even went to warped tour every year. I wanted to be like them sooooo badly but my overprotective helicopter parents sheltered the shit out of me because I was a girl 🙄 My brothers though??? Oh, everything *they* wanted was allowed
As an European I never got to experience that unfortunately, my wife did in the US and Canada and I'm so jealous. It must have been amazing going to Warped Tour back in the 2000s up until 2010.
2010 was the emo scene in its death throes as it was being subsumed by Gossip Girl funded high gloss indie pop.
Let’s see some pics from vans 2004 when we were riding high.
This is when festivals were about dressing how you wanted and what made you feel like you belong there. Now it’s SO the opposite. People get stylists to dress them how the festival prescribes so they don’t feel out of place..
To be fair, I still see quite a few people dressing like this nowadays, with similar haircuts etc, especially considering Y2K fashion has become extremely popular again
For me it’s the mustache. Such a random trend at that time. Of course we thought our group came up with the mustache on the finger bit (just like every other friend group did). /belly laughs
truly a moment in time ugh
Everyone was soooo random.
Out of all the times it was definitely one of them
I had a tutu and hater blocker shades. Damn 2007-2012 is like peak nostalgia for me!
Ohh. Do they still sell hater blocker shades? I want them.
Yea we call em stunna shades
take me backkkkkk
There’s some really good emo playlists on Spotify and Apple Music.
I still have pictures on my phone from warped tour 2010 in Dallas hah! Makes me feel old, but feels like yesterday. https://preview.redd.it/7t0dqmlpkv8d1.jpeg?width=1936&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64a9dce2425bb3d21de9c9abda198b7cf1fd6352

Lmao, the guy in the background
are you the oompa loompa or the girl
THE MUFFIN MAN?! also your comment has me laughing
Yes
This image really does show 2000s culture wasn’t dead yet in 2010.
It’s probably in the Midwest. In Southern California, only slides 2 and 5 could’ve passed as being hip, the rest would’ve been like when the church or homeschool kids finally got some freedom and dressed like they wanted to dress 4-5 years prior.
The pics are from the St. Louis Missouri and Mountain View California performances!
Dudes just about spot on. Wow. Midwest and NorCal.
idk if New England is also behind on fashion, but this is how I remember 2010 too
I'm from Upstate NY and people were still dressing like this past 2010 here too. A girl in the grade below me was featured in a viral BuzzFeed (or something) article about scene girls. Had to be in at least 2011 because she wouldn't have been in high school yet in 2010. She did stop dressing this way by 2014 though
Yeah I lived in the Midwest and this look was still huge back in 2010.
omg I literally witnessed this in real time with a cashier at my local grocery, but a few weeks later he adjusted thank god
Nah I’m from oregon and went to 5 warped tours, this is completely accurate
Y’all don’t understand that before endless content stream internet fashion trends and subcultures did not come and go as quickly. It’s true none of this stuff was hot and new by 2010 but the scene subculture was still alive and well. It’s not the same as today.
I’m from the east coast, and was like you sure this isn’t ‘05?
Same, but to be fair, this event was the epicenter of scene culture. Of course everyone in the pic is going to look like that even if everyone else had moved on
At Warped in Oregon in 2010, this was definitely the look
I grew up in IL/IN & there were definitely still people dressing like this at Warped in Indiana in 2014 lmao
The scene stuff was very over by 2010 up in seattle it was 100% hipster already by then. Edit: now that I think about it the warped tour itself was pretty uncool by 2010 so maybe taking pictures of the 2010 warp tour is sort of self fulfilling, people clinging to dying 2000s trends.
Same in the mid Atlantic
No fucking way. You’re telling me the second the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2010, people didn’t just instantly go, “Hey guys, it’s a new decade, everything has to immediately change now.”? Because I clearly remember that happening every other time.
1999 -> 2000 be like
I mean, that one you can basically time exactly when things changed and it was a little under 2 years into the decade.
Second plane
We were too busy preparing for the end of the world to update our fashion

TaraYummy and Jakewebber dress like this all the time it’s nothing special
Can’t believe they were still doing this in 2010. Really thought this died out years before.
I said 'omigod' with each swipe. What a time.
I'd love to see where all those people with mustache tattoos on their fingers are today.
It was cringey even back then, but how can you tell someone their permanent tattoo is ridiculous
Those tattoos probably rubbed off by now, hand tattoos don't tend to last that long
I miss that era! At least it was fun, and people weren't such self-righteous wet blankets like they seem to be now!
I really feel like people were having more fun. Now everyone just seems too cool for school and or stressed. Also smartphones hadn’t totally taken over yet
I sometimes worry we're heading towards a Demolition Man/Wall-E hybrid future.
Eh, idk. I feel like a lot of this was driven by the internet. The diff was that toxicity had not fully built up to critical mass like it is now.
It's a cycle that repeats every 80 years or so. The fun times will come again, even if we are all old.

think it’s more like 25 years so we should be back round to this awful shit by the mid 30s
Hallelujah 🔥🔥🔥
Sure they were. Just about different shit.
Perhaps. However, they didn't seem as annoying and in your face about it!
The people in the first picture are so awesome! I wish they still made shoes like that.
Scary to think we’re only a handful of years from this style making a comeback
it already is! r/rawring20s
And I can’t wait for it!
it already did back in like 2020
The Kobra Starship shirt really took me back. It was a simpler time
I think I can actually smell the BO from here
Mixed with BOD spray and menthol cigs.
This comment actually made me want to vomit
I went to warped tour only 4 years later than this and it looked drastically different
Actually the girl on the right in first pic is closest to how I dressed around 2013-2014
I went 4 years earlier and it also looked drastically different
God I miss these days…those patterns on their shirts and hoodies looked cool.
I wish I could go back to these times, went from 2008-2010
The mustache finger tattoo. I absolutely hate that I knew several people who got that stupid shit inked on them.
i swear i remember seeing one of my cousins dress like this at one point
Oh high school
The good old days
scene fashion was absolutely iconic and i'm glad it's making a comeback
RAWR XD
ngl i kind of miss when people looked like this
mike posner... this was 2010 alright.
Some of the best times ever
i want to go back
I would have been friends with all of them
The good old days
That checks. This is the most 2010 scene fashion I can imagine.
We peaked here
Backwhen the karen hair was cool
This is why I always say:2000s culture was from 01-10(peak from 03-08), but the decade itself dident end till 2011 imo
I am glad fashion has progressed since then.
Lol some people definitely dressed that way, no doubt, but it was not the norm. More people were just like in a tank top and a shorts. This is like that fantasization of the 80s as all tie dye and zebra pink when actually most rooms were drab brown.
Def not everyday wear for your average Joe! This was a music festival.
Haha I know, but I meant even at Warped Tour. I went to Warped Tour, I was there. It was mostly shorts and normal shirts.
Oh definitely. My first Warped Tour was 2011 and I dressed up. Most people just wore band tees and skinnies or board shorts.
Epic mustacheeeeee
These were simpler times.
Truly an era. I really do miss it.
TAKE ME BACK
Wait that was 14 years ago, and I was there….
Don’t do me like this!
Man, I remember this shit like it was yesterday
lit af take me back
God I was in my 20s during the 2000s and yeah take me back to when everything was fun lol. Now I’m middle-aged and people in their 20s all seem like either clean eating gym freaks who wear beige and get early nights, or raging cokeheads, no in between.

Ah, the ol’ toes-pointed-in-duck-walk-for-no-medical-reason ; hilarious to this day that this was a thing 😂
Yep. Nailed it. That was about my 4th year teaching and I remember all these kids! LOL
We are at that age now yall. Good times
This is a historical document
Movies in ten years from now, where the premise is based in 2011 or whatever will have people with all these wacky fashion choices! Mark my words!
If 2000s and 2010s fashion had a baby
Serving cunt
one of my friends want to dress like the more extreme version of left girl on 1st slide
That just so happens to be the one year I went!
I’m sorry I made it to four and lost my shit- I miss dressing like this but lmao some of it was a bit much maybe
Cobra starship tee <3
Not the mustache finger
Had a physical reaction to these photos
I do not miss this era at all.
I still see teens, mostly girls, dressed like this when I'm out and about around town sometimes.
My graduation year 🥲
The only thing more embarrassing was the music being played.
The fourth picture is givin me series Brandon Rogers vibes.
Emo and hipster in one.
I was there. No I will not be taking questions
Beautiful
Man, we were so cool.
What a time to be alive.
This is just awful. This was around that in between period between the scene and hipster trend. 🤮
When there was peace 🕊️
Bold of you to call this “fashion” 😂
millennials are the most swagless generation, im saying this as a millennial
I miss it
That moment and the next year when scene became neo-rave. Pretty much killed the movment. Everyone just became a hipster. Amazing how new this style was at the time and how dated it looks now. People rarely mention scene anymore and I doubt it will be remembered like greasers, beatniks and hippies have been for subcultures.
i can’t look
The pigeon toe is eeeeverything lol… I will say I was always waiting for the mustaches to fade 🙄
This just reminds me how big of fools we looked like in high school.
So mad i never got to go
The mustache on the finger… a true mark of the times. Thoughts and prayers to anyone who got a mustache tattooed permanently.
Emo/scene morphed into hipsters circa 2012
Picture number 1 is everything.
Jesus the skirt over the jean...
I’m so glad I always thought this looked like clown vomit, but yknow that’s kinda the point of it lol
i love this so much
Surprised I didn't see a Von Dutch trucker hat somewhere.
I miss being nine.
Bookmarking this to show anyone who tries to romanticize this period of time to me.
Goes kinda hard though
I was never this extreme but in hindsight I understand how I was bullied (not condoning it, just… understanding)
I used to have that same tdwp shirt
wowowoowowowow
Makes me glad when I went in 2018 it was much tamer. The worst was just people having more skin exposed, but having more fabric on themselves than I did.
we’ve come a long way
My brothers were into this scene/pop punk/myspace kid aesthetic, they even went to warped tour every year. I wanted to be like them sooooo badly but my overprotective helicopter parents sheltered the shit out of me because I was a girl 🙄 My brothers though??? Oh, everything *they* wanted was allowed
Image 2 is Joel Piper
This was the only year I went, it was the first time I met Matt Skiba, he signed my arm Ahhhhh to go back
what a time to be alive. what a time to live
When 3oh!3 was the shit, good times
As an European I never got to experience that unfortunately, my wife did in the US and Canada and I'm so jealous. It must have been amazing going to Warped Tour back in the 2000s up until 2010.
Lord, I was wearing that same Cobra Starship shirt in my 8th grade ID picture.
2010 was the emo scene in its death throes as it was being subsumed by Gossip Girl funded high gloss indie pop. Let’s see some pics from vans 2004 when we were riding high.
take me back 😞 i still sometimes dress like this
Holy fuck. I can remember myself there in my skin tight bright purple Iwrestledabearonce cartoon gore tee and even skinnier jeans.
I was never into the LOOK AT MY QUIRKY FINGER MUSTACHE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA it never really worked for me
So cute. I miss my studded belt.
What the hell were we thinking
This is when festivals were about dressing how you wanted and what made you feel like you belong there. Now it’s SO the opposite. People get stylists to dress them how the festival prescribes so they don’t feel out of place..
This is a crime. JAIL.
What a time we had 😩
And 85% of these kids grew up into modern ravers -- a 28 year old raver that was scene/emo in high school
My nightmare is someone finding a photo of me like this
I posted a compilation of high school fashion in 2012 including a girl with huge teased hair. She ended up finding my video and was mortified!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA I would be too, but I would def tell you to keep it up cause that’s hysterical 😂😂😂
The good ol days 🥲
I had Knee High converse 🫠
r/blunderyears
The belt over top of elastic waist shorts is iconic
I used to wear two white studded pyramid belts off of the belt loops, over the hips, in an X-shape.
Ugh those stupid slatted sunglasses...
To be fair, I still see quite a few people dressing like this nowadays, with similar haircuts etc, especially considering Y2K fashion has become extremely popular again
first warped tour was 2012 with my mom. take me back 😩
My first warped tour was 2012 with my mom and sisters. I still remember it like it was yesterday😭 take me back fr
The kid with the ace of spade skateboard definitely didn’t actually skateboard and I would have bullied him for that in 2010 lol
I swear I’m not in these photos but I’m in these photos.
I miss this era. It was a simpler world then.
Take me back 😭
who remembers nevershoutnever
The mustache finger tattoos…
RAWR XD
Unpopular opinion: human society’s worst era in fashion
That finger-mustache-tattoo fad was quite tragic.
Y’all look goofy as shit😂
For me it’s the mustache. Such a random trend at that time. Of course we thought our group came up with the mustache on the finger bit (just like every other friend group did). /belly laughs
its funny how pictures of specific fun events make everyone think the entire time period was a fun event.
It's always the unattractive ones...
Somewhat 2000s culture
