There was an art movement in the 18th century called "Rococo" which had a similar social function for the home. It started out as a mildly interesting style of extravagance that basically became a parody of itself as it became obvious how superficial and OTT it was, and clearly geared towards rich show-offs trying to outshine each other. Coachella does that in the 21st century, outside.

First night’s headliner was the one I was looking forward to the most: The Black Keys. But I had to leave at the beginning of the set because I had stood for like 12 straight hours with a bad back. My back could literally not support itself and I had to hobble to the car. Bummer. Days 2 & 3 made up for it.

Ross from friends actually makes some pretty awesome house music though

Its for posers

my major issue with a lot of the bigger festivals in the UK is people will buy tickets before any bands have been announced because people can brag about getting the tickets first. then often those people complain that they hate the lineup. this has also lead to an abundance of bands who dont seem to do venue tours anymore, instead they think "oh if we do a few festivals, that's as good as a tour" which pushes people who dont want to go to a festival to think "well this band i love is playing and they dont actually tour anymore so if i want to see them, i've got to spend £200, take a weekend off work, spend £50-100 on camping equipment" plus outdoor festivals are a fucking nightmare for stuff like logistics and the environment. a festival was held at a park near mine and the place was left a fucking bombsite only with empty beer bottles and needles with unknown substances in it. the social media thing happens here too. not to the same degree but still happens. you see endless pictures on social media and you ask "what bands did you see" and you get the reply of "i'm just here to get drunk"

My stepmom took me to Carolina Rebellion in 2013 and 2014. I had the time of my life and my biggest concerns were getting a decent spot in the crowd and not having crowdsurfers fall on me. The highlight was in 2014 when I saw Rob Zombie while he was on tour with John 5 and this dude I just met was cool enough to let me up on his shoulders a couple times. Motorhead was supposed to be there that year too but Lemmy got sick and Anthrax filled their slot. I missed my senior prom to go the second time and my only regret is that I'll never get to see Motorhead live.

This year’s lineup is really good. One problem, the crowd is always dead. I was seeing the livestream and the artists are realizing that as well. The most common phrase is: “I don’t care how cool you are”. Speaks volumes, people aren’t there to enjoy Coachella, they’re their to say they went to Coachella.

Most things that are very popular are average at best. You're obviously a fan of the A24 movie production company based on your profile picture. They're a great production company that produces some amazing indie and horror films. But they're nowhere near as popular as a production company like Disney, who want nothing but to pump out the safest and most profitable movies they can as quickly as possible. It's not a bad thing that quality doesn't necessarily correlate with popularity. It's especially apparent in music with how trash most pop music is. You just have to decide what's good yourself and not let pop culture decide it for you.

For example, a big three day festival can easily have The Killers, Miley Cyrus and Santana as headliners on separate days. Same goes for Dead and Company, Chance the Rapper, The Black Keys or Jay-Z, Halsey and Imagine Dragons. I’m not arguing this is the best acts to book (TØP, Tame Impala and The Strokes are certainly better picks that Imagine Dragons or Halsey) but you can’t argue that they didn’t get some of the biggest artists of the decade along with as many 1969 acts possible. Woodstock was about getting the biggest artists from the counter culture. The only names that don’t fit from this year’s lineup is Miley Cyrus, Halsey, Imagine Dragons and Jay-Z.

Ok, counterpoint, though: I live in Palm Springs and work as a bartender, so I want people to keep coming out to Coachella.

3:48 To be fair though, Jamiroquai was the only good one on the list. They are still pretty underrated in the US though. Never understood how they got there.

A Perfect Circle too, unfortunately right next to Cardi B. Nothing But Thieves are there too, a pretty good modern rock band.

Good hot take, man. It really is infuriating seeing the festival go down this weird, social media seeking rabbit hole. I doubt any change will come of it, so good on you pointing out some of the smaller music festivals that still care about music. (That last bit was painful to type 😅)

My first ever music festival/concert was Rock in Rio USA. I had a blast during the rock weekend. I got to see Linkin Park (rip Chester) and Metallica :)

Tbh I had no idea Coachella was this weekend

As far as rock and metal goes, nothing will ever be better than the first 10 years of Ozzfest. Perhaps only castle Donaten I know I miss spelled that LOL

$10 for a bottle of water? Are they trying to be Woodstock 99?

Has anybody ever claimed Coachella was about anything other than having terrible taste in music while being in California? What? Why? Because Prince was there once? The only good thing about Coachella is now that people talk about it, they don't talk about Bonaroo anymore.

I always figured it was for Instagram models Edit: guess I was right

I just wanna go to Sonic Temple now. I mean, sure i can go to Pinkpop and Lowlands but that line up is sick.

I went to Download Festival 2019 this year to see Slayer, I'm pleased to announce that I've fulfilled my promise of bellowing praise at Anthrax on stage. When Judas Priest played Rob Halford drove in on a motorcycle, there's nothing quite like Behemoth undermining their black metal scariness by pandering to your city: "WE LOVE YOU SYDNEY... HAIL SATAN!" is just a funny turn of phrase.

No joke, I literally got an ad for Coachella at the end of this video.

Caidema Official it’s like they don’t care if the video is talking negatively about Coachella or not

My brother has attended this going on 4 years now and a lot of the key points you've hit on are pretty true,from the bullshit fake bands to women walking around in what looks like rejected Sailor Moon villain outfits. Concerts though have been pretty hit or miss (worst being Outkast's reunion).

RIP Punk in Drublic Fest

I live over in the Coachella valley, it sucks when Coachella fest happens cause all the people clog up the surrounding cities. Then right after Coachella, there's a huge country music festival. I've met some people that go to Coachella for the music. My ex liked a few groups that were playing so she bought her own ticket. But I would agree that most of the people go for the "scene".

Thank you so much for saying this man! I was looking all over for a video like this. I remember knowing Coachella was on the decline when I had to watch bauhaus surrounded by a bunch of confused coldplay fans. Keep up the solid work 👍🏾

I’m surprised of how calm this comment section is, I was expecting some really colorful comments...

I think because a lot of the fans are people not being targetted by Coachella. And for me, I don’t like Coachella because I have a feeling it is funding antiLGbTQ rights

Working security at music festivals is a fun gig!

I agree with you 100%. I went last year to at least experience the event and understand why it is popular. Although there were some people that cared about music, a majority of people were there for the points you mentioned. It was kind of sad to see a legendary music artist like David Byrne from the Talking Heads perform to a small crowd who cares about his music. Nevertheless, I understand that it is a fun experience but it is even better to listen & watch your favorite artist perform your favorite songs and enjoy new ones.

Went to Lollapalooza the first few years... they weren't "all weekend" long, but it was the first sunrise-to-sundown concert I can remember. Couldn't tell you WHAT I wore, but my T-shirt was torn and I lost one of my sandals in the mosh pit (just one! which oddly made it even WORSE the rest of the day.... :D ) With acts like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, AiC, Beastie Boys, RHCP, Tribe Called Quest, etc. the focus was DEFINITELY on the music then ~

The Lollapalooza of my country is equal hahaha

What country are you from? Im from Brazil, and Lollapalooza here does have good names on the line up, but the experience stuff still rings true as well.

I'm from the Midwest, so Bonnaroo is bigger than Coachella. I like the idea of many days of music and would enjoy to go to any of these depending on the line up.

Truer words have never been spoken. I wanna go to a festival to listen to music not drink with a bunch of spoiled brats.

I went to Austin City Limits 2018 and it was great. Really seemed like everyone was interested in the music from the headliners to the lesser known acts. Great city and great festival grounds aswell.

I'm just curious what any of you think about ACL (Austin City Limits)

Only good thing at this year's Coachella was that we got a John Frusciante 2019 pic

Man I miss Warped Tour...

Same here, man. Why couldn’t they keep that? I mean, we have a festival to replace it called Disrupt Festival, but it won’t seem the same.

Damn Bradley Cooper man, director, writer, actor, musician and now A KZreadR? One man band alright

If it hadn't been for Beyonce's headlining set (which wasn't even good) absolutely nobody would have cared about the music at last year's Coachella. Also, why did I not know about that Jimmy Kimmel bit until now? And "Ross From Friends"? That's it, I'm calling my band "Doug From Skins"

137 persons witnessed X-Japan playing there last year, while 60,000 retards were watching Kylie Jenner eating an avocado pancake.

People who go to Coachella just for the #aesthetic deserve to be culled

Does it count if I go for the music as well?

There was a Coachella ad when I clicked on the video. Oops

The first Coachella lineup you showed looked great. I'm guessing that'll be controversial but hell, you won't see Matmos at Coachella in 2019! What year was that?

A festival I'm going to is Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville, FL. I'm taking time off work for this.

I used to be really involved in the rave scene in the early 2000's and ever since Skrillex came on the scene its gotten over popularized and went down hill. You had way more drug related deaths and emergencies because you had so many random new people getting into the scene and not knowing how to do their drugs safely. I haven't been to a rave since 2011 and I don't miss it.
