Maybe you’ve been a fan of punk music your whole life, listening to bands like The Ramones, Dead Kennedys, or The Misfits. Or maybe you joined the brigades of indie rock listeners in the late 90’s, when the sub-genre first peaked, with the help of bands like Speedy Ortiz, Neutral Milk Hotel, Modest Mouse, or The Breeders.

Or perhaps you came in even later, like the 2010’s, and were present for the unexpected fame of bands such as My Chemical Romance, The Used, Paramore, and Taking Back Sunday. It doesn’t matter what exposure you have with these sub-genres. Because now, in an era of emo, punk, and alternative indie nostalgia, these bands are going back on tour with a new resurgence of fame.
