Funny enough, I was thinking about how well done the Fyre Festival doc was in comparison. It was my benchmark. Or I was expecting something with more depth on the societal constructs that led to such a disaster, be it toxic masculinity as perpetuated by MTV and corporate America or the massive capitalist greed that spawned such an atmosphere.

I also found the way they idolized Coachella hilarious and insanely hypocritical. All Coachella did was prove that these exact same artists and fans don’t behave like animals in the right environment. Coachella has also proven that these same people are completely fine with their corporate overlords overcharging them for basic services as long as they have access to organized campgrounds, showers, bathrooms and clean water.


All that being said, from a memory lane, news footage kind of view, it was totally on point and very enjoyable. It was a decent summary of the weekend with some commentary attempting to contextualize the events (albeit often missing the mark).
