OFFICIAL LEGAL NOTICE, DISCLAIMERS, DISCLOSURES, WARNINGS, WAIVERS, TERMS OF ROCK, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS CLAUSES RELATING TO THE ENTITY KNOWN AS “YOUR MIX TAPE”
(Filed under the Laws of Eternal Rock and the Unwritten Rules of the Late '90s)
I. PREAMBLE AND STATEMENT OF INTENT
Let it be known to all attendees, participants, passersby, sound engineers, bartenders, and the occasional confused uncle that Your Mix Tape (hereinafter referred to as the Band, we, our collective sonic embodiment, or that group that plays the songs you forgot you loved) exists solely to celebrate, resurrect, and recklessly reanimate the spirit of 1990s and 2000s music. By witnessing, acknowledging, or even thinking about one of our performances, you consent—explicitly and irrevocably—to feeling feelings you thought you’d packed away with your Discman.
II. MEMBERSHIP DEFINITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF EXISTENCE
At the time of this document’s drafting, Your Mix Tape is comprised of four (4) or possibly five (5) active members, depending on whether the percussionist finds parking and the guitarist remembers to charge his tuner. Two confirmed constants include Chris, a founding member, vocalist, and over-analyzer of tone settings, and Brad, bassist, and general bringer of good vibes. The remaining members are considered floating variables and may be substituted, augmented, or multiplied as required by law, logistics, or sheer rock necessity.
Furthermore, per the Universal Brotherhood of Chrises Clause (UBCC), any individual whose legal, professional, or spiritually chosen name is Chris is hereby deemed an Honorary Member of Your Mix Tape. Said Chrises are entrusted with sacred duties including (but not limited to):
Ensuring that every gig is unequivocally fun, regardless of technical difficulties, questionable acoustics, or lack of chili fries.
Assisting with post-show breakdown, teardown, cable coiling, amp lifting, and emotional support for exhausted bandmates.
Maintaining positive crowd energy through dance, applause, or the noble act of buying a round for the rhythm section.
Violation of the UBCC may result in public shaming via exaggerated high-five refusal or passive-aggressive inclusion in the next setlist poll.
III. MUSICAL SOURCE AND CREATIVE INTENT
All songs performed, referenced, or lovingly screamed by Your Mix Tape were originally written, recorded, and immortalized by the brilliant artists of the 1990s and 2000s. We claim no ownership, moral superiority, or fashion accuracy in reproducing their works. We are, however, proud carriers of their spirit, channeling the raw emotional frequencies that once echoed through car stereos, high school gyms, and every heart that beat a little faster when the intro to “Everlong” kicked in.
Our mission: to keep that era alive—not as a museum piece, but as a living, loud, and slightly sweaty experience shared by all.
IV. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION AND CROWD COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
By attending any Your Mix Tape performance, you voluntarily join an active experiment in communal nostalgia. You agree to sing along (on key or otherwise), to shout the bridge of “Say It Ain’t So” like it’s a legal requirement, and to vote for songs that matter deeply to your inner teenager.
Lyrics will appear onstage for public participation. Music videos will be projected behind us in glorious retro splendor. By joining the crowd, you acknowledge that you may appear in selfies, videos, and the collective emotional memory of the evening.
Failure to participate with enthusiasm may result in disciplinary action, including the spontaneous pointing of a microphone toward your face.
V. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND VISUAL ELEMENTS DISCLAIMER
All displayed music videos are presented for educational, historical, and emotional enrichment purposes only. Your Mix Tape assumes no legal, moral, or metaphysical responsibility for the overwhelming nostalgia these visuals may induce. Any synchronization between the projected video, lighting effects, and audience tears is entirely coincidental and should not be interpreted as an endorsement, partnership, or metaphysical collaboration with MTV.
VI. EMOTIONAL LIABILITY WAIVER
By attending a performance, you hereby release Your Mix Tape from all claims related to:
Sudden flashbacks to your first breakup, first concert, or first questionable haircut.
Spontaneous joy, shouting, or cathartic crying.
The irresistible urge to text your old high school crush after two beers and the first chorus of “Plush.”
Attendees assume full responsibility for their own emotional well-being and must consult their inner teenager before engaging in post-show karaoke.
VII. POST-SHOW PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
All honorary Chrises, as well as any guests caught saying “I used to play drums,” are automatically conscripted into Loadout Assistance—a sacred ritual involving the transportation of gear, detangling of cables, and the sharing of leftover fries. This clause is enforceable under the Mutual Brotherhood of Roadies Act (MBRA) and may only be waived in the event of medical emergencies, missing guitar straps, or verified urgent dance-offs.
VIII. FINAL PROVISIONS, DISCLAIMERS, AND THE SPIRIT OF ROCK
This notice constitutes the full and complete agreement between Your Mix Tape and its audience, both corporeal and spiritual. The terms of this document are subject to spontaneous modification based on vibe, energy, or the drummer’s tempo. By remaining within audible range of our amplifiers, you accept all risks associated with joy, unity, and the unfiltered power of live music.
Your Mix Tape reserves the right to be loud, sincere, occasionally uncoordinated, and forever obsessed with the music that made us who we are.
By attending, you agree: the past is alive, the chorus is yours, and the breakdown is a team effort.
Rock responsibly. Sing unapologetically. And if your name is Chris—grab that mic stand, we need a hand with the cables.
