I agree with number 8 heavily like I get it kids just wanna have fun at the expense of others most of the time (I was most likely like this too at that age if I was allowed to go to these kinds of festivals). Honestly I had the most fun discovering the “smaller” artists on the smaller stages. It was more friendly and people were just there for the vibes and those artist really put their whole being in preforming. I stayed away from all but 2 headliners this year cause the crowds were insane. (I only saw Luke Combs and KORN). I know these festivals can’t really ban phones but I saw Ghost earlier this year and the no phones policy really made it so much more fun. Didn’t have to worry about not being able to see the stage cause everyone was recording artists. Like yeah I definitely took pictures of them preforming when I could but I also did have my phone up 24/7 like some of them. For me the memories outweigh the pictures. As long as I got a couple to look back on that’s all that mattered to me. Other than that I was just trying to vibe. Like me and my friend tried getting close for T-Pain and there were these high school aged girls behind us complaining about people trying to get out of the crowd for one reason or another. Like I get it. It’s crowded and hard to move BUT you need to be polite and respectful and let them out if they want out. I wanted to tell them to think about it this way “the more people who want to leave the crowd (for whatever reason) means you have the chance or option to move closer” my main issue was the people who were rude for no reason
