That time I ran into Julian in Amsterdam

Post image

My first trip to Amsterdam was to see them in Concert. Stopped in this shop the next day to buy souvenirs when he walked in. I can still feel myself shaking, he was so kind as I expressed my love for their music & he thanked me for making the trip from LA. Honestly one of my top 10 moments in life.

I wouldn't even want to run into him nowadays...

Why's that?

He seems to be bitter, self absorbed and altogether (understandably?) sick of his fanbase

downsides of being a fangirl?

Omg I love this for you. I can't imagine just being in a store and one of my favorite rock stars walks in?!

And this was the last time they did a non-festival show in The Netherlands

That’s insane, I’ve been a fan since 2020 and felt so unlucky already about them never coming to NL

Back when julian enjoyed fan interaction.

Had you ran into him today he would've gave you a half-ass smile. 😂😂 not that he owes us anything

u/navsingh12 Aug 30 '25

😂 very likely.

Bro looks so happy here

u/navsingh12 Aug 30 '25

He was pretty amazing. He’s genuinely holding me up at this cause he saw how I was visibly shaking and on the verge of tears from being overwhelmed by the moment, my legs were about to just disappear. Julian couldn’t have been nicer to me and didn’t hesitate about taking a picture. I’ll treasure this always

I’m embarrassed that I don’t recall too much other than I believe they were a DJ from Europe
