I wrote up a whole little historical essay about how in Woodstock '99, when some assholes decided to run a music festival that was an exploitative cash-grab that ultimately was sloppily put together, disappointing, and endangered the safety of the participants, all the kids recognized what the game was, and tore the venue apart with their bare hands and burned it all to the ground. They threw batteries at the MTV "VJ"s, they smashed up the cash machines and vendor tents and took back their money, and then they lit a match.

So yeah it was a different time. Right around that time was the end of the vigor generation and their replacement by the tech job generation (which then birthed the Doordasher no health insurance generation because they weren't vigorous or well-organized enough to fight back real effectively.)
