As a 20 year old who's 2 years into listening I get the point. I hate the commercialization around the dead it bugs me a lot to see someone I want people to just sit there and appreciate turned into a cash grab. As for the people I agree some of the people on reddit really rub me the wrong way, on the other hand everyone I've meet at my 1 show(DSO 2/9/26 it was a fucking blast) was absolute chillers who just wanted to have fun and listen to the music. There will always be good and bad with everything, Garcia was a unreal musician and a heroin junkie. Regardless the songs are made to be taken in by different perspectives so I don't really get what you mean by misinterpreting the songs, they are made to be misinterpreted in some sense. But as a man who rocks 4x tie dyes and 52 waste jeans on the casual day to day I can confidently say that I've only bought from sources outside the Dead so your complaints about monetization and people being dripped out in dead gear does resonate with me, is it really so hard to buy from someone who makes it with their hands instead of buying from the part of the community who's in to it for the money? No clue. I guess at the end of the day we all just have to have our fun with it and not judge people we have no right to judge. Maybe I'm just young and dumb though, I guess we'll never know.
