Every emo today with the when we were young announcement 😂
Many former emo kids joked that the festival was all part of the universe's redemption arc.
When We Were Young Fest is God’s way of saying sorry you were bullied in middle school, go get fucked up with your friends and relive the emo years baby
People also noted the design of the lineup poster, laughing that it resembled a 2000s-style collage for a desktop computer.

But emo or not, it's clear everyone was just feeling nostalgic for the good old days. I mean, who doesn't miss when "Welcome to the Black Parade" was a Billboard Hot 100 hit?
