What are your unpopular opinions? (Vol. 2)
Discussion
Seeing as Glastonbury has been mentioned. Another one of my unpopular opinions -
Music festivals are awful.
I’ve tried. Went to numerous ones. I like camping. And I am literally obsessed with music. But mixing the two? No. Especially when booze and drugs are thrown into the mix. Just become a test of endurance. Used to love the old raves as they were generally over the next day. Plus they just did the one style of music, the music YOU liked if you were attending. Festivals do the whole, something for everyone, jack of all trades… which is reflected in the ticket price.
Towards the end of my festival going years I noticed more and more straight-edge families, super organised dad types who start moaning about noise etc in their area. I get the feeling that that’s who festivals are aimed at these days. A kind of instagram friendly camping trip.

Glastonbury is full of people I wouldn't want to be around, too much preaching, virtue signalling and has become what it was supposed to be against.
Glastonbury is full of every kind of person, that’s the beauty of it. It’s not too hard to avoid the political stuff if you don’t want to get involved with it such is the size and diversity of the place.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
