I got on stage with Hawthorne Heights at Ohio Is For Lovers Festival!

Have you ever had an awkward moment meeting your favorite artists? Comment your cringe story below!🤘🖤

[@ManticorePinion]

lol idk about favorite, but meeting Jared Leto in the Taste of Chaos meet and greet and that was weird. Dude wore rubber gloves.

[@ManticorePinion]

Also I've met Mark and Poppy when they were at my small local venue in tiny Ohio town as the Story Changes lol. Back in ye olden days of the mid 2000s

[@adrianne3949]

I’m from Cincinnati and pretty sure I saw JT at Guitar Center when I was with my parents and freaked out. I didn’t go running up to him but was like “omg that’s the singer of HH!” And I remember JT looking at me like “fuuuck” and my parents were like “nah, let’s go” and then winked at him. Lol 14 year old me was maaaad.

[@Bl4keBelladonna]

was wearing the Emo´s not Dead hoodie today and encountered some "young emo"s they recognized the hoodie and called me an elder emo xD made me feel like a proud ole grandpa

[@jillianswart7752]

Probably the first time meeting jt i held his hand too long. 🤗 worth it he has soft hands

[@blackbibletv]

Your mom ran up to me outside of ikea in Portland because I was in an Emos not dead shirt and shorts. Lovely lady!

[@EmosNotDead]

LOLLL my mom told me this story!

Matt is carrying the banner for all us emo kids.

I'm waving the flag loud and proud 🖤

Seeing Saosin always takes me back. I remember going to a Brand New show in like... 2001-2003? I can't remember exactly BUT Saosin opened for them and they instantly became one of my new favorite bands. So cool

[@nikirios2323]

It has to feel SO F***n GOOD, to see your merch on people there! To have so many people recognize you! I feel like you are widely responsible for allowing us to wake up to better times, better music, all of it! Thank you for this movement! Thank you for being so wholesome! Thank you Ariel for being so beautiful! EMOS NOT DEAD!! 🫶

[@EmosNotDead]

[@LavendarButterfly]

I love how even though your E.N.D. movement has totally taken off, you still have the "innocence" and humility of just being a diehard emo fan. Which is why you started E.N.D. in the first place. But it's SO heartwarming to see you get to meet your heroes and be famous/well known also. You're like the final form of emo fans. You're my hero dude.

[@EmosNotDead]

Love this message so much. I really am living the dream right now thanks to the fans like you! 🖤

[@LavendarButterfly]

🖤🥹🖤 I forgot to add, if there isn't a petition to make Ohio is for Lovers the state song.. why? why isn't there? This is our chance to use the power of EMO for good! 🤣

[@raymundo99]

Matt totally startled me on my way to the bathroom. Ran into him wearing my END shirt which he loved. Then after seeing him perform with Hawthorne Heights really capitalized an amazing night. I'm doing my best to spread the word at every show!

[@magwitch]

Can’t believe how big Matt and END has gotten, so cool, good job!

[@EmosNotDead]

It's honestly blowing my mind. And its all because of you guys! 🖤

Make it happen! You're a top name in the EMO scene at this point, you've got yourself a band...maybe once that album hits, and they are touring again, you could open for them when they hit a local area?@@EmosNotDead

UnderOath is going hard after years later and that makes me happy because most of the hardcore bands I listen to as a teen has softened up as they are still good and I'm sure they have their reasons but those who are still going hard makes me smile
