rich ppl show up in campers with AC
its as establishment as it comes now
Yeah :/
It's when things go mainstream
ppl who go to burning man are sheep pretending to be shepherds
The music that comes from these kinds of gatherings are still good.
Goa, PsyTrance, etc
I like the thought that alternatives to Burning Man will pop up as a result of Burning Man becoming too mainstream and capitalized to hell.
@Timcast didn't it used to be free and now it's pay to enter?
not sure
I should do some research on Burning Man
as long as Ive known about it has been dominated by the type of people who go to spencers and buy "nerd" hats
Yes
I think thats the best way to describe how I feel about it
its the "nerd hat" equivalent of a festival
hahaha
$390 per ticket and $80 vehicle pass
That's sad I always think of the better days of Jimi Hendrix when I think of it
So Burning Man is TomorrowLand for hippies.
It's not that now though
is that like glastonbury?
@4zehorde literally corporate sponsors
perhaps having a venue only accessible on foot would be a defense against commercialization. like a plateau or something.
Says it second paragraph
From what I'm hearing, Burning Man to actual artistic freedom/individuality is like what Five Seconds Of Summer are to punk music
😂 😂 😂
Wish I had money to sponsor, but I'm starting university soon so funds are low
University is way to expensive
@tmg copper it says those are examples of things they *don't* do
"Examples of revenue that Burning Man opts out of:"
Damn I guess I read to quick
I Am Fake News
feel like glastonburys kinda lost it... there was 135k people there last year
How the world has fallen...
world? or west?
some countries seem to be on an upwards trend
I mean, to be fair there's still good artistic events. Metal concerts are still booming
