no doubt it will be insufferableWOODSTOCK 99: PEACE, LOVE, AND RAGE unfolds over three blazing hot days and nights of nonstop performances and heaving mosh pits in July 1999, and examines how the festival eventually collapsed under the weight of its own misguided ambition. The musical lineup reflected acts that dominated MTV and radio airwaves at the time and leaned heavily towards artists catering to a young, male demographic. Intense heat, lack of adequate sanitation and access to free drinking water agitated a crowd already at a breaking point. Shortcuts and cost-cutting measures had diminished security, allowing the anger and frustration of the mob to explode into unchecked rioting and destruction. As much as Woodstock 69 became known as a celebration of peace and inclusion, Woodstock 99 became a flashpoint for burgeoning white toxic masculinity.
when the trailer mentioned white male masculinity from the concert to today i definitely turned my head a bit. i think white rage is real and perhaps theres a tangential connection but...eh, seems like a bit of a stretch for direct correlation to today. i guess just have to see how they frame it. otherwise, just generally i would have interest in a docu on that concert. it was obviously a [expletive] show.go birds wrote: ↑July 8 21, 8:32 amoh [expletive] yea

definitely worth exploring since sexual assault was invented by white 22 year old males at woodstock '99.BottenFieldofDreams wrote: ↑July 8 21, 9:43 amI remember seeing this graphic clip on MTV of '99.go birds wrote: ↑July 8 21, 8:32 amoh [expletive] yea

I was disgusted. I actually recall that moment more often than I'd like, usually around discussions of sexual harassment or assault. I think we should continue to explore that.
You can grab them by the [expletive] was a downright presidential attitude very recently. And the guy we have in office now may not have the audio clip, but at least has tons of doubt surrounding him on the issue.
Maybe it doesn't have to be about race, but we should probably stand and be accountable as white guys for Korn, Limp Bizkit, Insane Clown Posse and Kid Rock.
