Living life without bs & re-configuringβ¨οΈ
Brand New are back with three sold-out shows.
But weren't they canceled years ago? Yes & no.
In my newsletter I explore this phenomenon & why the alt-scene may never be able to truly "cancel" anybody, fully

Ive been sick w/ something viral + a broken heart (emo ik) so today I came back swingin to get back to my usual self

Sans the roll-out, the amount of folks underwhelmed by all three of the #Warped line-ups is concerning.
Never forget where you came from. I dive into #nostalgiacore, what vision Kevin Lyman told me about bringing Warped back + more:

Idk i see it as goofy because I'm Journaling + processing anxiety about the friend significantly more than the guyβ’οΈ
Things suck sometimes but it fuels me to be individually aggressive in my work
Positive Ig
My largest anxiety & heartbreak doesn't come from the guy from the appsβ’οΈ who wasn't super honest w/ me, but from a close friend who continues to put me down for their own benefit despite space + conversation
I'm more anxious about the later than the former. At least with the guyβ’οΈ we have open comms
I was like...are you an opp? What's happening rn lol

& im like...cause I support human rights & people being able to live?? Idk doesn't seem weird to me. If anything you SHOULD support if you arent trans wtf

If you're looking for band bios, I am available for hire!
I've been in the industry for a decade & have a news + creative BG. I wrote @maudify.bsky.social's bio, and have written many a script & article, too.
If you'd like to chat shoot me a π§: lizziebaumgartner@gmail.com
Yes! Omg its so crazy. The other part of this is: when a lot of us in the 2000s-2010s were discovering music in this scene, specifically, we weren't as online as kids are now.
So we could be 10x cringe w/o repercussions because it was COOL to be that way. Now everyone from adults to kids judge
Maybe this is me seeking to expeditiously get fresh, new music like I did back in my college radio days. But it's still goes without noting that we aren't exploring music the same we we used to even a decade ago, & that contributes to how we curate culture overall.
31.01.2025 21:52 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Something that isn't being asked/propped up is the acts that new gens are following & latch onto, like we did to those earlier acts. And vilifying the new ones (within reason ofc) & gatekeeping literal kids from avenues to discoverability, is only going to kill the scene v. allow it to progress.
31.01.2025 21:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I also acknowledge my privilege and biases; I've been to many fests, shows etc. over the years and I'm getting very burnt out from seeing the same sets over and over again to please the mainstream - nostalgic market.
31.01.2025 21:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Discovering up & comers + those you don't know? And a few bigger names to draw?
If someone is looking for pure nostalgia acts ONLY, then why not just go to #WWWYF? Or go to a show when that act is on tour. Many of them have been over the past 3 years.
We're so bottlenecked by nostalgia it's getting tired and boring.
Aside from how the #Warped roll-out is being handled...the amount of folks upset about the line-up so far are upset larger name acts aren't on here, is kinda wild.
Did we forget what WT was about before? π§΅
if i don't get this gig I had to make an INTRO VIDEO for...idek fr
it's for a radio gig too smh
My former best friend from middle school-early college reached out to me today on LinkedIn; ended mutually but I fucked it up cause I was dumb
Have only angrily texted the guy from the appsβ’οΈ after an incident
This week has stressed me out so much & it apparent in my face. give me a break life fr
I'm lucky in the way in which, when I spiral and/or am greatly depressed I cope by applying to jobs
Only downside is that I will consider most other states outside of IL lolol
should i just send the guy a link to FOB's "The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes" and just leave that there for him to simmer on or

1. the guy I was seeing ended up being way further from recovery from addiction than he was honest about (unraveled from an ER visit)
2. I finally resigned for the next school year for the college station I've ran for 4 years because of consistent disrespect & issues with admin
