Official 2024 'When We Were Young' Festival merch plagued by band name typos

when we were young merch typo

Organizers of this year's When We Were Young festival have found themselves in an embarrassing situation thanks to some sloppy merch designs. Several pieces of official merch for the Live Nation-promoted event were filled with band name typos, much to the amusement of users on Reddit who were quick to point out the mistakes.

The festival, celebrating all things emo and pop-punk, took place October 19th-20th at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. Headliners included My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Taking Back Sunday

At least three merch designs from this year's When We Were Young festival were hit with embarrassing typos. Fans quickly pointed them out on social media, with some of the more notable mistakes including:

The All-Amercian Rejects (The All-American Rejects)
New And Glory (New Found Glory)
We Are In The Crowd (We Are The In Crowd)
Sleeping With Siriens (Sleeping With Sirens)
Movevments (Movements)
Amor For Sleep (Armor For Sleep)
LS Dunes (L.S. Dunes)
Daisy Grendade (Daisy Grenade)

Concertgoers flooded Reddit with reactions to the glaring band name typos on official When We Were Young festival merch. Even more surprising, different designs featured different errors, leading to widespread frustration. In an ironic twist, Redditors pointed out that the bootleg merch sold outside the festival grounds was typo-free. Seizing the opportunity, bootleggers reportedly began marketing their merchandise as having "no typos," capitalizing on the official blunder. Fans were left shaking their heads at the oversight while bootleg sellers made the most of the situation.

The competency crisis has landed. Enjoy it. It's progress.

anonymous 156 days ago

Americans living today are the inheritors of systems that created the highest standard of living in human history. Rather than protecting the competency that made those systems possible, the modern preference for diversity has attenuated meritocratic evaluation at all levels of American society. Given the damage already done to competence and morale combined with the natural exodus of baby boomers with decades worth of tacit knowledge, the biggest challenge of the coming decades might simply be maintaining the systems we have today. The path of least resistance will be the devolution of complex systems and the reduction in the quality of life that entails. For the typical resident in a second-tier city in Mexico, Brazil, or South Africa, power outages are not uncommon, tap water is probably not safe to drink, and hospital-associated infections are common and often fatal.

No transgender, no operations. You know they take your kid. There are some places your boy leaves the school, comes back a girl. Okay. Without parental consent. What is that all about? That's like. That's– when they talk about a threat to democracy. They're a threat. Could you imagine without parental consent? At first, what I was told that was actually happening, I said, you know, it's an exaggeration. No. It happens!

anonymous 156 days ago

That lurkcity is a seriously worthless douche bag with the writing and grammar of a third grader

Biden's America. Thankfully Trump is winning and there is nothing you can do about it. FKH

Bortslob 24 minutes ago anonymous 3 hours ago Bortslob 15 minutes ago Biden era education Lol, laughable given you support a party that guts school budgets and derides higher education. Lol, drag queen story hour isn't higher education you f*ckin democrat The stupid things you believe are even more ironic because you live in the same state as Harvard. If you truly believe in a widespread drag queen story curriculum, then you wouldn't know higher education if it bit you in the ass.

anonymous 156 days ago

Lol, drag queen story hour isn't higher education you f*ckin democrat Oh look we got a wannabe Seth from American History X here. You're fat not husky right? Since you consider the word "Democrat" dirty & insulting you will forfeit your Social Security created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt a Democrat right? F u c k i n idiot.

anonymous 156 days ago

I meant you're husky not fat right? Haha

Everyone that went to this should be put down like a sick, diseased f*cking animal.

And I refuse to say it. But when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there. They said, "Oh my God! That's unbelievable!" I had to say it. I had to say it. But we have women that are highly sophisticated here. But they used to look at Arnold. They said, man.

your fault for buying festival merch with all the band names on it when you can just buy merch from the individual bands

anonymous 155 days ago

Ok, but how is the font size? - Bad Omens

anonymous 155 days ago

Lurktard firing retard shit sniffing article after article mis-spelled with no pride day after day, has the Gaul to criticize an emo gathering of the fats, and cast aspersions on THIER ASPARAGUS for a f*cking typo. On or about the most dense criticism known to man.

anonymous 155 days ago

The uneducated Republicans of Lambgoat must have been crowdsourced to create these. I feel like Andy Dufresne every time I wander this comment prison.

anonymous 155 days ago

Plagued by typos? How rich, coming from this site.

anonymous 155 days ago

When we woke up being they/them

anonymous 152 days ago

Pro-tip: ALWAYS buy the merch from the guy selling the bootleg shit. It'll be worth so much more when your kids get into them.
