The last thing your brain processes before you head on to the great beyond is Travis Scott doing the robot. shit.
But in all seriousness now crowd crush events are fucking terrifying. The deaths weren't from trampling they were from suffocation and cardiac arrest from peoples ribs collapsing in on their hearts and lungs. Fucking creepy.

What absolutely terrible crowd control and security. This is going to go down as Fire Festival levels of incompetence but with a body count.

Everybody getting sued.

It's wild, Didn't read this from any official sources but a friend of mine who's also reading about this stuff said last year the attendance to the festival was 50K and this year it was 100k. This was 100% an event staff failing and they were no way prepped for t hat number of people. Then yknow, that one tweet where Travis encouraged people to go past security.

I'm gonna sound like an old crone but:
This shit isn't music. It's just noises spoken at rhythm. It's barely art and it barely speaks to you beyond offering repetitive beats that make your brain tingly. It's trash and not worth dying over. I don't know why our modern music industry is such ass-cancer these days, or if it always was and I just didn't notice. But seeing people trample each other over what amounts to pig-splooge is a pathetic state of affairs.

You think you sound old? I don't even know who the hell Travis Scott is.

But its nice to see that rap music and concert fanatics are as terrible as ever.

I have no idea how rap became so popular. We are at a time where all of humanity's recorded music is available instantly, and you're gonna choose to listen to a nigger go ooga booga over the same repeating 4/4 beat with autotune? Rap makes me MOTI and in real life.

At first it looked like they appreciated it as a matter of afro-american pride, but now there's just no rhyme or reason behind the devotion to modern rap outside of the off-chance of getting laid at concerts or molesting someone when the crowd gets hectic. Most rap songs don't even sound like they rhyme anymore. Just sounds like they're sticking the microphones in their mouths and slurping them.

Not to defend them, but when you're on stage, you really don't see or hear much of what happens in audience. The cliché of the theatre actor noticing a familiar face among the audience is just that, a cliché. I know this isn't the same, but I can understand that perhaps they didn't know how big the situation was and nobody told them. After all, it's not their responsibility to check for the concert security. Someone from their crew should have told them to stop because people were dying. I don't know if this ever happened, but I have a feeling it didn't.

30 years ago, we had a concert here that ended up equally bad. The singers did stop the show and asked people to remain calm until they could solve it to continue. They thought things were back to normal and started to sing again and a firemen climbed to the stage to tell them to stop. They didn't know and one of them kicked him. It went even more chaotic after that. Back then, I blamed them for this, but now I know that, maybe, the organisers shouldn't have allowed 100K people to get in!

Yep, kind of hard for them to identify legitimate issues from just general crowd carnage.

They actually halted a football game recently between Newcastle and Tottenham after someone collapsed in the stands. The players actually managed to notice it and not only get the match paused but I think some of the medical staff from the team benches headed over. But even that took some effort and most football games are a lot more controlled than the average concert.

It's like a hivemind. The more dumb the crowd is, the more likely it will be that they hurt one another. Musicians at large events have the mic. They can take control, gain compliance, and make them move how they want to. Travis Scott and Drake literally did nothing to help and neither did the crew it looks like. Rock and even Alternative Rap concert goers know how to function as a crowd after incidents in the past. There are supposed to be empty spaces, pits, and people usually make room for others to move out.

This is Darwinism.
