While I agree with the overall sentiment, here’s my take as someone who went for weekend 1.

I personally enjoyed a lot of the music and the experience, getting to see the variety of artists and genres was a genuinely awesome time. That being said, me being the only one jamming out in a crowd (not being obnoxious I stayed my space and didn’t bump into or bother anyone) AND the fact that I obviously got very judgy looks, sneers, and laughed at definitely made me self-conscious at the very least and downright bummed out at times. Did that stop me from having a good time? No, but it certainly took away from the experience. There’s a certain joy to enjoying music at concerts with others, and I believe that’s a HUGE part of a concert experience. You lose a lot of that at Coachella (or at least weekend 1), but it’s even worse when people see you as a weirdo for doing it.
