Burger Records hosted its fourth annual Burgerama music festival this weekend at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California. Boasting an impressive two-day lineup with bands including Weezer, Ty Segall, FIDLAR, Black Lips, and even Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, thousands of music lovers young and old came together to dance, mosh and headbang, transforming an average parking lot into the epicenter of DIY punk and indie music.

While Burgerama is all about the music, the festival is nothing without the quirky, interesting fans. From teenagers who have never purchased a record (seriously?) to a middle-aged man walking around the festival as a robot on stilts, Burgerama attracted the best of the weird yet loyal festival goers of today's indie generation.
