To be fair to /r/bonnaroo, every few months it's fun to see the same conversation about Bassnectar killing it and his fans being to-a-one terrible people.
I do too and I'm really bummed that next year is at about 95% impossible for me. Been to every one since '04 and the FOMO is huge regardless of how degraded the product has become.

I have not gone in the last 2 years; and every time I see people at shows in roo shirts or with a bandana; I go out of my way to talk to them or give them a high five.
The last two years when it hit Roo weekend I started feeling tremendous FOMO and was wishing I were there.
I still love that place; and no festival I have been to (regardless of the lineup) has held a candle to overall Roo experience (vibes, camping, late night, seeing headliners from the What stage pit, ect).
I may like other lineups better (that was true even years I attended), but usually I just wish those acts were playing on the farm.

This was the first year I've missed since 04. At first I was kinda sad, but then it came and went and now I don't really care.

Pretty much how I feel. My odds of makin' it to my 12th 'Roo in a row seem to decrease day by day. And if the lineup is as lame as it has been these last two years I won't really want to go. But the FOMO would be huge, and I would miss the overall atmosphere.
I've been leanin' toward Lockn' next year, but I think my lady could care less 'bout their style of lineup.
I've been going since 07 and while this past years lineup left plenty to be desired I was still able to fill each day up with a great lineup of artists. Everyone I met was as friendly as ever and this Thursday was one of my favorites in the past decade with the run of, orwells, mondo cozmo, lemon twigs, turkuaz, twiddle. If they can bring back the latenights a bit and not have the which stage be edm since they have the other stage now I'll keep coming back
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

This and the vibes will keep me going back to Roo for quite some time. There's really no other festival that has Roo's vibes + the ability for me to see acts both my lady and I can get mutually excited about.
I get that people move on from Roo, I expect it's inevitable for all of us at some point.
I just roll my eyes when people have nothing better to do than come onto the Bonnaroo board only to post they don't care.... it's like driving over to an ex-girlfriend's house, ringing the doorbell, and telling her that you don't care about her anymore. The act in and of itself says otherwise and is a sad attempt at attracting attention. They can't let go.

That Thursday really was solid - easily my favorite to date and I was not expecting that going in. The best part was that the Other drew so many people away from the tents that a good spot to all of those shows was very easy to come by.

I can't speak for the second part of this, but there are plenty of festivals out there that are just as "vibey" as Bonnaroo. Bonnaroo's saving grace was always late nights with music going into the morning imo.

There's not a big festival that is as vibey to my knowledge, but if someone has a secret I'd love to hear it. We both get into the bigger names on the board each year, so it really limits our festival experience to the big boy festivals. We still go to smaller local ones like Shaky Knees & Music Midtown, but that's a totally different ballgame.

Should I not be doing this?
I just prefer to tough it out in a failing relationship and continually tell myself next year will be better and anyway there's no other girl I love as much as my girlfriend, even all the women I've never met.

2015 was the last time I went and I still see people out in public or at the gym with one of the shirts on from that year and it makes me depressed. We always get ourselves psyched up to go every year and the past 2 lineups have caused us to opt for 1 or 2 more local (midwest) festivals that are a bit smaller overall.

Was rough for me to miss this year...and will always be rough to miss...though it'll get easier with time like most things
