When I went to my first Riot Fest I looked around and was like, "Damn, did they shut down the punk rock retirement home?"

Then I realized I had just turned 31 and couldn't trust myself any more.

Everyone got fat and unhappy? I dunno

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like they aged up.

[–] portuga@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Age, lack of exercise, stress… I can go on

Note the lack of drinking water and sanitary facilities with the crowd that size and become a wizard that predicts the future now past.

People weren't happy in the 90s they were angry and the music reflected that

[–] SitD@lemy.lol 11 points 4 hours ago

now they're nostalgic about unhappiness 😂😡

Rebellious, anti-materialist, anti-machine

But I wouldn’t say we were unhappy on a personal level

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 hours ago

Exactly. I'm quite happy, and I also like rebellious, anti-machine music. I still listen to Rage Against the Machine, and I'm in a pretty stable life situation, not a minority, etc. I just really don't like people who abuse authority, and I don't see that changing regardless of how happy I am.

The hits from Limp Biscuit stopped coming and the world fell into an ethical depression.

The skinny people at the concert from 25 years ago are now are now 45+ years old.

That’s what happened.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hey! I'm only 44!

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well I can't just call you 'man'?

[–] SOB_Van_Owen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Well, you could say Dennis.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I didn't know you were called Dennis!?

[–] Tangentism@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I want at that concert but I was doing a lot more acid, mdma and dancing all weekend.

Not so much these days!

Obligatory...

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 31 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The fact OP is calling these people "skinny" is terrifying

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

Normal size is now skinny.
