1998. Reverend Horton Heat, Bad Religion, The Aquabats, 22 Jacks, Deftones and Hatebreed -- and all in one day? You bet. Can't argue with that kind of diversity, given how popular ska, pop-punk and metal-tinged hardcore was at the time. The key to understanding why Warped felt more welcoming during these years is in how the majority of the acts appealed to such broad age ranges. You didn't have to be 16 years old to get into Dance Hall Crashers or Rocket from the Crypt. Though pop-punk had become a mainstream identity in 1994 with Green Day's Dookie and The Offspring's Smash, there was still a very apparent punk aesthetic at this year's festival. When the pop aesthetic became more influential (especially in the wake of Blink-182's commercial success later in the '90s), things became more divided.[1]
