How The 2005 Warped Tour Changed Music

The 2005 Warped Tour wasn’t just another festival, it was the year the Emo and Pop Punk exploded into the mainstream, forever changing the entire music scene. You can still feel the effects of the 2000s Emo and Pop Punk scene with Warped Tour returning in 2025. Packed with legendary performances from My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects the 2005 Warped Tour didn’t just make history, it was the year punk went pop and it became the starting point of alternative music for an entire generation.
