      The younger generations are very much afraid of being seen as tryhards, but they try very hard.

        No, we must take everything completely seriously. Especially the stage personas of entertainers. Now where did I put my Daft Punk vinyl? Those two were completely normal musicians with no tomfoolery /s

        Meh, these are influencers paying thousands of dollars to play dress up at a music festival so they can cynically exploit art and culture for clicks and engagement. Lots of these people don’t ever go to see a single band, but they drive up the prices for those who want to actually go to a music festival.

        I mean yeah, it’s Coachella so what do you expect, but it wasn’t always like this. It is cultural enshitiffication at the hands of the most valid common denominator.

          I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. I see pics of a “music festival” but there’s no mud, dirt, dust, and a complete lack of patrons that look strung out on days of drugs and a total lack of sleep. Then I hear about the premium experience you describe and I just shudder as my brain latches on to “this might look better, but it doesn’t seem right.”
