I watched that #Woodstock99 documentary last night.
Whew. I was a Lilith Fair goer, so that was not my scene.
But I do remember the casual misogyny of that moment in time, and Girls Gone Wild coming to film at my college.

Haven’t seen the documentary but man, looking back at anything made in the 90s-2000s these days can feel like getting hit in the face with a chair made of misogyny and homophobia

one thing that's always stayed with me: there was a dirt road you walked from the campsites to the festival area, and at any time of day there was likely to be a crowd of a dozen or more fratty-looking bros, probably drunk, chanting "show your tits!" at every woman who passed by.

Wait, from the doc, or were you there?

it was…quite an experience. from my worm's-eye view, it had a lot of great shows, horribly hot weather, incredibly bad mismanagement, nakedly cynical cash grabs, and (to me, at least) merely occasional spikes of awful people being shitty, until the final night's fires.

honestly there was a lot of tedium, too, long stretches where we just sat around in the darkest places we could find because it was so hot.

but in hindsight, and from a perspective of seeing how the whole thing unfolded, I can't argue with "nightmarish," either. it just didn't feel that way, most of the time, while I was in it.

I wanted to, vaguely, as someone who was into hippie stuff and romanticized the 60s, but I was 16 and that would have been a terrible idea lol
