Seeing Blink, Sum41, Korn, Deftones, NIN etc sell out arenas when 5-10 years ago some of them were playing secondary venues for 1/4 the price just doesn't make any sense to me.
Maybe Millennials have kids old enough they can bring them? Maybe we're all having mid life crises and want to relive our youth when at 30 we all wanted to forget music from our teens?
I'm pretty sure Korn could barely sell out the big four building 5 years ago. Now they're selling out the dome with $400 floor seats. WTF?
EDIT: Ok that was 15 years ago that Korn played Big Four. Wow, time flies.

NIN is firmly in Gen X territory. I was listening to them in fricken junior high in 1990. Might have even been 1989 when Head Like a Hole made its first appearance on one of my mix tapes.
Blink sucks, so who cares about them.
Sum straddle Millennial and Gen X, but I could kind of concede I may have been on the older side of their fanbase when they appeared on the scene. Always loved them, though.
