Waterparks: The FANDOM Tour (With: Kitten & De'Wayne Jackson) Tour • Page 3

Lmao, don't go into the MyChem thread, it's a shitshow.

 

This starts tonight: Can't wait to see the setlist & stage production.

Until then, MERCH!

 

The wig is $25 if anyone was wondering

 

Waterparks Setlist at Buckhead Theatre, Atlanta

We're getting most of the new album, a few older singles, plus the Double Dare & Entertainment Medleys. Looks super cool!

 

That's better than I expected

 

This is ironic given that De'Wayne uses the n-word in this song...but he's black so that's ok? At least this guy's music sounds a lot better. Yung Pinch was generic mumble rap.

 

Yes, he's black so it's absolutely okay.

If the word's been used violently against a people for hundreds of years to the point where it becomes a part of the culture, they should be allowed to use it and take it back. It'd be just as racist to say black people can't use the word because that'd be using the same language against them again. But white people (or even white-passing mixed people probably) obviously shouldn't use it given it's racist history, it'd come off as insensitive or even hateful.

 

not really ironic.....

 

Yeah, but Yung Pinch isn't even the one who says it. It's a feature on his track. So a black guy on a white guy's track says it, and that's worth leaving a tour over. But a black artist on his own track says it, and that's all cool.

Kicking a guy off a tour for language used on a track just to replace him with someone who uses the same language sounds pretty ironic to me.

 

Glad to see "I Felt Younger" on there. By far the best track on the album.

 

It wasn't just the N-Word.

It was the sexism, ableism, liking tweets making fun of Waterparks, etc.

 

Yeah, it was a plethora of shitty lyrics, not just the N word.

 

Ok that makes more sense. I just saw the one tweet from Awsten about him not condoning the use of that word. Thank for clarifying. The guy's music was legitimately awful, so I really didn't want to listen to any of it.

 

I think the medleys are cool, for sure, but personally I think I'd rather see more songs in full from those albums - I never can get enough "Not Warriors," and I don't get why they love "Lucky People" so much.

Pretty much giving up hope of ever seeing "Hawaii" live at this point.

Still, this is a very solid setlist, #FirstWorldProblems and all that.

 

Yeah, the only songs I really wish were added are 11:11, Rare, & It Follows, and we get the chorus to Rare in the medley so it could be worse.

Plus it's all worth it now that we get over 2 minutes of "I'll Always Be Around" in the Double Dare medley.

 

I don't know how, but I somehow missed that the track existed at all. I was listening to the medley and was like, "damn, that's a good song, what song is that?"

 

I actually like the medley tuning of "Rare" better.

Lol, I know! That song didn't hit me the first time I listened to Double Dare either, but in hindsight I'm like, "Damn, that's a good closer!" I'm surprised they really don't play it live that often.

 

I'll Always Be Around is my favorite Waterparks song (or at least tied with Cherry Red).

Lots of happy and sad memories associated with that song, but it makes me so emotional whenever I hear it.

 

Zone Out was a track and they made the crowd "sing" Group Chat 3 times

 

Sounds great. Sincerely.

 

the word he was referring to in that tweet was actually the r-word
