authentic music festivals: a myth?

huh?

corporate vibes and snapbacks ruined festivals

stereosonic

>>52816913
forgetting the facetious wording of my post, i'm asking a serious question here: is there an authentic music festival? that is to say, one that isn't entirely corporate dominated.

I read this earlier today and it disgusted me.

millenials ruined festivals

Has anyone here ever been to a Gathering of the Juggalos? It's held only a couple hours away from my house, figured I might go for shits and gigs, maybe score some cheap drugs

>>52816540
P4K fest

>>52816540
All music festivals are shit, have always been shit. Thankfully we live in the time where we don't have to interact with faggets to browse dank music

i hear you can fondle the women there without asking because you are part of their 'family'

nice i would go

>>52817149
Id imagine it wouldn't be too hard to get weed or acid right? It's not like they only do meth or something.

>>52817178
they wouldn't be such uncultured fucking morons if they had access to acid
they seem like they mostly drink and do meth, honestly i think it might be one of the causes of their shit music taste

ive gone to some psytrance/psybient/psy-whatever festivals in the forest that didn't have too many fags or any corporate vibes at all

Fun Fun Fun is Austin is the only festival I've been to but it was amazing.

Was rolling on mandy and peaked during Nas. #swag #PopTheMollyI'mSweatin #YanksDoMandyInCapsules

bullshit u probably just watched that vice documentary lol go outside

Smaller music festivals like Boston Calling or Governor's Ball are a lot nicer and filled with less degenerates.

Not funny, not one BITE.

I don't watch vice, sorry you've never been to a good festival

Summercamp.

>>52817093
p4k is GOAT.

Coachella is bad because it's so big. Lolla is the Chicago equivalent, and it's smaller and horrible.

im going to Austin psych fest in may

What does /mu/ think of Bonnaroo?

How is Bonnaroo? I've been think of travelling from new england to the festival in 2016 but I don't know if it's worth buying the presale without knowing the lineup.

>is there a worst festival then coachella to go?
literally every festival ever held in australia

Reggae on the River

how bout Wakarusa

>>52818311
it started off *DECENT* and then immediately dive bombed into pure shitsucking deathspirals

>>52816952
>implying there was anything positive about being a dirty unwashed hippy in a crowd of shitstains just like you to be ruined

>>52817024
Meredith Music Festival in Australia is entirely Independently owned and run. They have some pretty sweet bands that play there too.

>>52817520
no.

I went to electric forest and didn't really enjoy it...

Went to Pitchfork and Summercamp this past summer. I'll be going back to pitchfork. Summercamp had too many filthy hippies and I'm not into jam bands that much. Pitchfork was smaller and had music I liked more.

>>52817403
And the tickets aren't fucking ridiculously expensive! It's a smaller fest I can go to and not blow like a thousand bucks like I would ay sxsw or acl. I went this past year and I liked it

degeneracy

I went to coachella in 2012 and while it was cool to see some of the performances, it really wasn't worth the shitty environment and tons of dumbass kids.

anyone been to Austin psych fest? thinking of going this year

NZ fag here, only been to 2 festivals

Laneway: Chill, everyone's having a good time, people seemed to be there for the artists

Rhythm & Vines: Bunch of bogans, fights, riots, everyone drunk or fried on some sort of drug
