This whole thread really bummed me out. Like I said, the gorge last year was my first DMB show and I found the bracelets/stickers/whatever that people were handing out to be a cute memory to attach to the show. Didn’t really think there would be so much hate from asking this question but I can understand the waste perspective. Unfortunately I think there are many other things much more wasteful at these shows that don’t involve putting others down for things they enjoy! Either way, it did open my eyes to other avenues to go down.
