OH NO SHE HAS AN OPINION ABOUT BONNAROO THAT I DON'T AGREE WITH I'LL QUESTION HER INTELLIGENCE AND SCHOLASTIC APTITUDE AND EVEN CALL HER A BITCH BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT #radiatevibez
You give people shit for uninformed opinions all the time around here. This girl has never been to the festival and is writing about how bad the festival is and why you shouldn't go. When people talk shit about Coachella without having actually gone you get on their case. Why can't people complain and make jokes about an article that they disagree with?

Yes, and if this girl came in here and started spouting off I'd expect this kind of response. But the personal level to which this has been taken is insane to me. Like somebody legit called this girl a "stupid bitch" over this, which is fucking insane to me.
(Also the funny thing is that even though she hasn't been to Bonnaroo, she pretty much nailed it. I mean, nothing that she wrote was really that incorrect.)

Yea, I don't get taking it that far, i'll agree. But as far as I see only one persontwo people in the thread called her a bitch (and not "stupid bitch" like you put it). It would have just been better if he called her a mutant for her writing ability, right?

Edit: I had my "bitch" count wrong.
Sorry, it was "dumb bitch."
And again, if this girl came stumbling in here dropping these wisdom deuces on our collective foreheads, then yeah, go for it. I'd probably be proud of everyone for doing so. That's also the difference between me criticizing the hair-farming dungeon-dwellers who post their incoherent acid casualty conspiracy theories on here, and taking to a forum to drop hateful language about someone who never did a goddamn thing to any of you.

Come on Rory it was a poor excuse for journalism and you know it. There are also plenty of problems with Roo, but she doesn't hit on any off them (because she has never been to experience them), she just generalizes 80K people as hipsters and complains about the heat.
The fact that an editor didn't halt this is worse than the her actually writing the rant

You gotta admit, that's pretty rich coming from you.
(Also the funny thing is that even though she hasn't been to Bonnaroo, she pretty much nailed it. I mean, nothing that she wrote was really that incorrect.)
Oh, you can do better then that. It's like you're not even trying today.
I was serious. In fact, let's break this one down.
I know right now, in the dead of winter, it’s hard to imagine sunlight and the luxury of always being warm, but I assure you there are beacons of hope on the horizon. For some, those beacons take on the form of music festivals, with Tennessee’s Bonnaroo being a Southern favorite.
This is accurate.
The lineup for Bonnaroo 2015 is announced before the actual festival, prompting hipsters from all over to simultaneously freak out from excitement or to critique the choice of musical acts. It seems to me whenever a lineup for a music festival is announced, my whole Twitter feed feels inclined to offer their input on whether the musicians are talented or not. It turns out everyone is a music critic with authority on all things hip. The Grammy proved to be no exception, and frankly, I’m over it.
This is also accurate.
First of all, no one that I know can afford a $299.50 general admission ticket.
This may be accurate, as we don't know who she knows. Also, yes, for many people such as those who inhabit this forum, the entire year is one big long ramp-up to Bonnaroo. For many more people, who are younger or aren't as aware of the costs, suddenly being like "yeah, it's $300.00" can seem like a lot. I can recall in 2003, I had saved up money to go because I had gone the prior year and understood the costs, but for many of my friends, though the lineup was interesting, the cost was exorbitant. You know, because they had to pay for school and rent and food and didn't base their whole life around going to a festival. It's not an outlandish statement.
And this amount is the lowest-priced ticket available, the most expensive being VIP tickets for $1,524.50 per pair. Anyone who buys said tickets is paying exorbitant amounts to rough it. When you buy a Bonnaroo ticket you are agreeing to camp out without easily accessible showers. You are willingly deciding to mingle with other unwashed and smelly people who also chose to shell out hundreds of dollars to do so.
Again, none of this is wrong. This is a factual description of what happens at most music festivals, but Bonnaroo in particular.
You can’t even look at a music festival lineup without thinking about flower crowns and Bonnaroo is the mecca for blossom-loving free spirits. It’s like everyone who attends Bonnaroo won’t be let in unless they are fully decked out in hippie-esque clothing. These people are trying so hard to be cool and hipster, which strikes me as both sad and ironic. The urgent need to appear as trendy and stylish as possible marks festival-goers as more pitiful than anything.
To those of you thinking that "hippie" and "hipster" can't go together, I urge you to stroll through the nearest Urban Outfitters and see the amount of clothing which is being pitched as exactly this. Right now, "hipsters" (i.e. people who are young and think they are hipsters, which means they aren't really hipsters, but whatever) are buying shitty Crosley record players and dressing like Haight-Ashbury vomited all over 1985 NYC. And she's dead-fucking-on about the trendiness of festival going in general these days.
Maybe I have it all wrong seeing as I’ve never actually had the pleasure of attending Bonnaroo, but when I see how much of a production it is my desire to go is squashed entirely. The festival, which will take place from June 11-14 this year, is the number one reason I could never go. Southern summers are brutal and being exposed to the elements is not something my pale-skin is capable of enduring.
Again, she didn't go to Bonnaroo yet, so yeah, I get it. But again, nothing she says here is wrong. It is a production, it is hot, it can be a grind. It's not for everyone. THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT ARE INCORRECT.
When I call Bonnaroo a production, I truly mean it. Everyone seems to want it to be this cool, laid-back hangout where everyone just rolls with the punches and goes with the flow. It’s meant to look like a totally relaxed atmosphere but I am not fooled for a second. There is too much of an appearance and act to keep up, preventing it from ever being as free-spirited as it’s supposed to be.
Many people on this forum have expressed this sentiment for years. It comes up everytime someone cites to the "vibe" or whatever as making those who attend Bonnaroo so much better than those who go to Coachella, or ACL, or Lolla, or whatever. The counter argument is always that there's just as much bullshit posturing at Bonnaroo as anywhere else.
So if you want to shell out a huge amount of money to dress like a hipster and not shower for a week, Bonnaroo seems to be the perfect summer activity.
I look forward to hearing everyone's counter to this statement after you've spent an evening watching Mumford & Sons next to a dude in jean shorts, a fedora, and Red Wings who stinks to holy heaven.
...and taking to a forum to drop hateful language about someone who never did a goddamn thing to any of you.
You gotta admit, that's pretty rich coming from you.
Again, if you come into a forum and start shooting off garbage opinions the other members of that forum have the right to respond. Though I'm pretty positive that you can go through my entire post history and never find one occasion where I called a woman a bitch. There's a difference here.
Come on Rory it was a poor excuse for journalism and you know it. There are also plenty of problems with Roo, but she doesn't hit on any off them (because she has never been to experience them), she just generalizes 80K people as hipsters and complains about the heat.
Her not being there doesn't entirely invalidate her opinion. Even a broken clock is right twice a day and all that. She blindly and inadvertently stumbled into some truths here, but everyone will ignore the message because of the messenger.
Let me put it this way - if that one sentence about her not having actually experienced Bonnaroo wasn't in there, would it change your opinion of the article?

I didn't realize "bitch" was the only form of hateful language. My mistake.
And why is ok to criticize a misinformed viewpoint if it's on a message board, but not somewhere else on the internet? She posted the article to be read, she wants people to read it. Criticism isn't allowed? Ya, it got taken a little too far in this thread, but the point still stands.

Criticism is fine. But the main criticism seems to be "she hasn't been there, so of course she's wrong, what a dumb bitch." That's not criticism, that's a knee-jerk reaction to hearing something that you feel attacks a personal belief. As I've said, she hasn't been there, but she's not incorrect in her assumptions (which, for the record, don't apply solely to Bonnaroo, but would probably apply for pretty much every large summer fest on the planet).

He's made it a point to defend this girl. No reason to continue on with this thread.
In most cases, I don't support articles that slam an event, place, etc. in which the author has never experienced it for themselves. Yes, there are excpetions to that....this not being one.
This comment make me happy. I've known this lady my whole life (no joke, her son was my 1st grade boyfriend) and camped with her three Bonnaroo's in a row. She's flipping amazing

This is accurate.
You got me there, it is often warm and sunny during the summer in Tennessee.
The lineup for Bonnaroo 2015 is announced before the actual festival, prompting hipsters from all over to simultaneously freak out from excitement or to critique the choice of musical acts. It seems to me whenever a lineup for a music festival is announced, my whole Twitter feed feels inclined to offer their input on whether the musicians are talented or not. It turns out everyone is a music critic with authority on all things hip. The Grammy proved to be no exception, and frankly, I’m over it.
This is also accurate.
This is true of nearly every mainstream festival, not just Bonnaroo. Why should this count against Bonnaroo and not other festivals?
First of all, no one that I know can afford a $299.50 general admission ticket.
This may be accurate, as we don't know who she knows. Also, yes, for many people such as those who inhabit this forum, the entire year is one big long ramp-up to Bonnaroo.

You know, because they had to pay for school and rent and food and didn't base their whole life around going to a festival. It's not an outlandish statement.
Absolutely, $300 plus the trip expenses can certainly add up, especially if you're still in school. However, to use that as a criticism against Bonnaroo seems very weak to me. Bonnaroo isn't expensive compared to other festivals, hell, Coachella is ~$100 more. The point is, if someone wanted to go to Bonnaroo, they should be able to budget and save for it. They might not get to go this year if they just found short notice, but that will be easily rectified for the following year. To any music fan, the value of a festival is immediate. You won't be able to see that amount of talent for anywhere near that price if it weren't for a festival. It might take a little planning, but the payoff is worth it. To pretend that it just isn't ever an option for everyone is naive.
And this amount is the lowest-priced ticket available, the most expensive being VIP tickets for $1,524.50 per pair. Anyone who buys said tickets is paying exorbitant amounts to rough it. When you buy a Bonnaroo ticket you are agreeing to camp out without easily accessible showers. You are willingly deciding to mingle with other unwashed and smelly people who also chose to shell out hundreds of dollars to do so.
Again, none of this is wrong. This is a factual description of what happens at most music festivals, but Bonnaroo in particular.
If the GA ticket is too expensive, why is she even looking at VIP tickets?
It's true, if you can't handle getting dirty for a few days, Bonnaroo isn't for you. A city fest would be more her style it seems. And there's nothing wrong with that. Different people enjoy different things.
You can’t even look at a music festival lineup without thinking about flower crowns and Bonnaroo is the mecca for blossom-loving free spirits. It’s like everyone who attends Bonnaroo won’t be let in unless they are fully decked out in hippie-esque clothing.

And she's dead-fucking-on about the trendiness of festival going in general these days.
This is true at nearly every festival, some to a larger degree then others. You'll find the kids who are just latching onto a trend everywhere, from the West coast, to the East. Again, not sure why this is just a knock against Bonnaroo in her article. There will be people that look like the stereotypical hippie at Bonnaroo, but there are also straight edge looking people and everything in between.
Maybe I have it all wrong seeing as I’ve never actually had the pleasure of attending Bonnaroo, but when I see how much of a production it is my desire to go is squashed entirely. The festival, which will take place from June 11-14 this year, is the number one reason I could never go.

No one ever said attending Bonnaroo is easy and for everyone. It isn't. Once again, she should go to city festivals instead. But she lives in Georgia, the summers can't be that big of a shock to her.
When I call Bonnaroo a production, I truly mean it. Everyone seems to want it to be this cool, laid-back hangout where everyone just rolls with the punches and goes with the flow. It’s meant to look like a totally relaxed atmosphere but I am not fooled for a second.

The counter argument is always that there's just as much bullshit posturing at Bonnaroo as anywhere else.
I've always had and felt a relaxed "vibe" at Bonnaroo...and every other festival I've been to. I would never try and claim that's an exclusive to Bonnaroo. It's mainly up to the individual. The festival (any festival) is what you make it. Wherever you are, you can pitch a fit about something, or just go and have a good time.
There will be chill people and assholes at every festival. Bonnaroo is no exception.
So if you want to shell out a huge amount of money to dress like a hipster and not shower for a week, Bonnaroo seems to be the perfect summer activity.
I look forward to hearing everyone's counter to this statement after you've spent an evening watching Mumford & Sons next to a dude in jean shorts, a fedora, and Red Wings who stinks to holy heaven.
I dress at Bonnaroo how I'd dress in most everyday situations if I was on vacation. It seems like she's never been camping before. And that's fine too, it's not for everyone. But there are a multitude of people who thoroughly enjoy it.
And don't worry, I won't be at Mumford. I'll be grabbing a spot for a late night.
My main issue with the article is that she just took a bunch of generalizations of nearly every festival, and directed the criticism solely at Bonnaroo. All without having attended it. That's basically the same as me saying Coachella is nothing but a bunch of LA hipsters wearing headdresses taking drugs in the desert on their parent's dime. I've never been, but it must be true!
Obviously that's not the case, at all.
The whole article is just a gross generalization with no personal insight. She could have changed "Bonnaroo" to "Coachella" in that article, and I'd still feel the same way.
I know you're just trying to stir up some shit, and that's ok. I don't really care much either way, just bored right now.
I still don't quite get your distinction that it's ok to criticize a misinformed opinion on a message board, but not an article for a school newspaper. If anything, I feel the article is more appropriate to criticize. She's trying to make that her profession for fuck's sake. What if writing like that passed as journalism everywhere? /shudder

Yes, they're gross generalizations, but they aren't wrong. You didn't once truly disagree with anything I said there. Just because she could have substituted Coachella for Bonnaroo doesn't really matter.
Again, if she was like "I went to Bonnaroo last year and this is what I think," would you all have the same critique?
And I'm actually not "just trying to stir up some shit." I was legitimately appalled by the vitriol that some people spat out here.

Doesn't it matter though? If that's all "journalism" is in this day and age, then I am sorry. Since when can you just write sweeping generalizations that aren't true for a large portion of attendees, and then pass that off as a legitimate article? Especially for something that you have no first hand experience in.
If she had attended, and still had the same critique, yes, my criticism would be a little different. It would be unfortunate that she had that experience, but you can't try and portray that as the experience of everyone. No matter the festival, there will be some bad eggs. There's no way around that. And if she doesn't like the sun and camping, then maybe she shouldn't have gone to a camping festival. There are better options for her if she would do some research.
At best, the article is lazy writing with no real merit.
And I do agree, it did get taken a little to far in this thread.
But that doesn't change the fact that it's a shit article and she should be called out for it. ESPECIALLY if she wants to write as a profession.

My criticism wasn't that it was called out. It was the way in which it was done. But now that I know that it's okay to call a 19 year old girl a "dumb bitch" around here, I'll be sure to apply that more freely in the future.

The "dumb bitch" line in question was about how she incorrectly used a hyphen and it was written as "biznatch" for what I assumed was humorous effect. Surely, you understand that it was an over the top joke and not someone "legit" calling her a stupid bitch for what she wrote.

The idea that everyone at Roo is dressed with flowers in their hair or "hipster' whatever the hell that even means these days, gets to me because its the most basic generalization of a music festival attendee and its unbelievably inaccurate. Yeah there are people that dress in traditional hippie garb, there will be people in costume, or in body paint. But really most people are in loose fitting clothing, bikini tops, and tank tops with shorts because it is hot and you have to brave the elements.
Of course this girl is an idiot. She is trying to get into the newspaper industry in 2015. Might as well become open a booth at the mall selling pagers.
You give people shit for uninformed opinions all the time around here. This girl has never been to the festival and is writing about how bad the festival is and why you shouldn't go. When people talk shit about Coachella without having actually gone you get on their case. Why can't people complain about an article that they disagree with?
Yes, and if this girl came in here and started spouting off I'd expect this kind of response. But the personal level to which this has been taken is insane to me. Like somebody legit called this girl a "stupid bitch" over this, which is fucking insane to me.
it was pretty obvious that I was exaggerating and half joking when I said "dumb biznatch" - I was commenting on her hyphen usage. (which, to be fair, was dumb) I wasn't making a personal attack on this girl, which should be pretty clear with the context around what I said.

When you write "bitch" on here it comes out as "biznatch." That's the word filter. If she actually wrote "biznatch," well then the word filter makes it hard to differentiate.

I can say with 100% certainty that I've never used a word like "bitch" directed at a woman as a joke.
