damn so ticketmaster has always been the enemy đ
My mom said when her and my dad saw nirvana back in the day they didnât use ticket master. They got tickets threw chat rooms đ
@@gabrielcastaneda9700thatâs so cool
YES LMAO
@@gabrielcastaneda9700what are chat rooms
The Coachella story starts w/ corporate greed ruining everything and has ended up w/ corporate greed ruining everything. Very apt
Fr
Who knew Ticketmaster would be a piece of crap in the â90s too lol
Pearl Jam lol
millennials and Gen X
People who were there đ I hate them so much.
I feel like it isn't a fashion show for celebs who are there to watch their friends perform! But it's def the influencer olympics. đ
Influencer Met Gala đ
Oh God you're naive
Do you realize the celebs are sponsored to wear name brand?
Are you genuinely that naive
@cloeshay87 you can inform someone of info they don't know, you don't have to be rude abt it
vanessa hudgens slayed the 2010s era of coachella
Totally, she wore very cuenta outfits while still remaining comfortable and effortless
I hope she makes a comeback for 2025âs coachella. But even I doubt that because sheâd be busy mothering her baby next year đȘ
Ya she was annoying
Idk about that. Girlie loved herself some cultural appropriation.
@@kathylennerds750 true aswell
Every single time I see Vanessa all I can think about is her casually going âeh people are gonna dieâ lmao like imagine being THAT out of touch
Donât forget that sheâs really into voguing right now
Mfs on the internet being like plumbers, always bringing up old shit. Like is that relevant to the topic whatsoever đ
@@strawberrykun6136yes it very much is
â@@strawberrykun6136she said that in the beginning
I more dislike her for being a sellout to a dictator's son than that other act of stupidity
I'm kind of glad Coachella has started live-streaming the whole event because I feel like it refocuses the social media aspect back on the music. It might just be my social media bubble, but this year I saw a lot more videos of the musicians (both from the livestream and on-sight), and people talking about all the acts they saw and reviewing them, which was refreshing. I also think since Beychella, people have been really focused on the fashion and artistry and spectacle of the headliners, more so than influencers, which has also helped refocus the festival on the music. I think some Coachella purists may decry the focus on super popular acts, but that's still music! It's cool to see artists really show out and do something unique for the festival
Thatâs what vmas need to do.
@@cherishoneal9108 REAL because why I am deciphering the vmas through cryptic tweets every year đ
@@cherishoneal9108This is definitely a good idea for MTV. Stream the awards.
The price of it and insane, ungodly crowds can hardly make it worth it. Streaming is very smart.
Coachella is one of those events where it's like âIt looks cool but is it worth the price and admission?â The thing that surprised me the most is that it's been around since the 90s and Amy Winehouse performed there.
The production quality and number/variety/popularity of the artists makes it worth. I would hardly call one event in October 1999 the 90s though
The craziest part about the Pearl Jam/Ticketmaster fight was that the public was not on Pearl Jamâs side. They suffered a lot from a pr standpoint for standing up against ticket master. Iâm sure the Taylor swift fans freaking out decades later and a congressional investigation was pretty vindicating for Eddie Vedder.
if there really was an influencer olympics we should call it The Ozempics
I-
Heh
Pearl Jam started it? Wow. How cool is that
Theyâre great :)
my loves... :,) sadly their ticket prices have also been too high lately...
This was such a fun watch! Had no idea where it started. Crazy how it was to stand up against Ticketmaster and then the festival ending up being so expensive
I really didn't expect Pearl Jam to be mixed up in this story, but the fact that they gave a big fuck you to Ticketmaster makes me love them even more
I do remember the cultural appropriation conversation regarding Coachella. I specifically had a friend who looks white, but is 100% Filipina, be put in an online article without her permission and was used as an illustration of âwhite peopleâ stealing culture. If I remember correctly her grandma who lives in like San Fernando Phillipines has the article framed.
not trying to split hairs here because i dont care for the coachella cultural appropriation discourse. but the idea of cultural appropriation could apply to anyone who is using aspects of any culture that isnt their own not just white people.
â@@britt5650 Yeah but the aeticle was specifically calling her white
did she ever tell the writers she was fully filipina?
Our ancestors probably were of every race, culture or ethnicity. We're all ONE at the end of the day, just in different guises. I believe, we need to get over this whole "cultural appropriation" dialogue.
@@preet24805 lol
It sounds like a fun event, but I do love the idea of having an affordable event that's open to many, instead of constantly inflated ticket prices for everything. It sucks that something that was meant to be the opposite of that ended up becoming the thing it sought to protest.
I've gone 5 times and influencers are less than 5% of the crowd! The reputation that the crowd is full of people who dress up in elaborate outfits and only care about aesthetics is not deserved. 95% of the crowd is normal, music lovers who wear shorts and t-shirts :)
You should go to a goth music festival, where you can witness a real communion of music and fashion.
I'm from a tiny town in Texas and I would LOVE to go to one.
@@bellacapulet1933 and the best are in Europe...
â@@nosferatucreations okay?? đ
@@katc2040 Hell yeah.
*Metal
As a foreigner, from the outside looking in it looks like it needs to be split into 2 events. People seem to be there for one of two different reasons: The networking/fashion/culture, or the live music, and by having this huge, long event it's just made it extortionately expensive and kinda clashes for both.
It was a music festival with a feshion aspect; like u could go have fun ; listen to music and go all out with the outfits; now its all about clout and sponsors and unfortunately a lot of people;not all but a lot; stopped caring about music; add overpricing and influencers and u get coachella in the latest years
Iâm so glad you talked about BeyoncĂ©! Just her show in general, the way it was talked about, and the impact it had on Coachella was absolutely massive. Also I loved that you did a history on the show in general as well.
Never thought much of Coachella. With my social anxiety and introverted self, it's a no go. But of course I appreciate Beyonce's performance and the return of 2ne1.
I legit cried watching 2ne1âs reunion video đ
2ne1â€
HOW DID I NOT HEAR ABT THE 2NE1 REUNION IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS WHATTT
I was lucky to have attended during beychella. But cochellla is a bucket list type of thing, one and done.
a moderngurlz video on coachella is something i didn't know i needed! one thing; i do wish you mentioned the herpes outbreak in 2019. i don't even live in america and i was horrified when it came out
The WHAT outbreak? đïžđđïž
@@marquisehebbler9471 yes omg search coachella 2019 herpes outbreak. around that area, after coachella STI rates were going off the roof and the number of herpes cases was astounding
Are you talking about the Sephora lipstick tester lawsuit herpes outbreak?
Was there... crowd smooching? How do you pass herpes so badly?
I live in america and I have no clue what youre talking about đ
19:11 the shade of you calling out their ages đđ I'm obviously glad that James' behavior was exposed for the sake of his victims, but ppl are so quick to forget Tati's less than savory motivations, especially considering her age at the time
I don't know the story of James and Tati, all I know is that one of them was accused of being a predator, and that James still has a lot of clout and many fans. Is there something shady about tati?
@@strawberrylime33 moderngurlz goes a little bit into it in this video but basically Tati was trying to get back at James for promoting a brand that was competing with hers (the hair vitamins), and she brought up some personal issues she'd had with James to justify it. Like was said in the video, James was 20 at the time and Tati was almost 40. Some of her accusations against him included stuff related to his sexuality, and later on people associated this with the very real abuse allegations against him, even though there's not a 1:1 connection. Either way, I'd say exposing someone's SA allegations ONLY in response to them competing with your brand is pretty scummy behavior (and that's not even how they got exposed), especially with the age gap between them. Tati should've known better than to handle the situation like that. But James is such a terrible person that she gets venerated as sort of predicting the future, and no one really critiques her own behavior anymore
What gets me in relationship to Tati's age was her crying about other adults manipulating her...like maybe I consider myself to be a good reader of people, but I call bs on not sniffing out the bs that came from starfish & Dawson's creek! And Tati has said she grew up around the acting game! Like how do you grow up in an environment of backstabbing & not know the backstabbers right in front of you!?
As a Brit. I did laugh at the rainy Glastonbury footage!
I was hoping that Tessa would write about Coachella, and she absolutely read my mind. I'm looking forward to hearing her two cents. đ
I hope she does Back to Black as she talked about Amy Winehouse on several occasions.
Ditto, I'm hoping that she'll review the movie once it hits the big screen.
I know I keep saying this, but it needs to be said: On the one hand, I'm hoping the movie will be better than Bob Marley: One Love as Bob Marley: One Love could have been a miniseries. On the other hand, based on the first look pictures and trailers, Iâm afraid it will be similar to Blonde minus the pornographic aspects.
So I go every year, Iâm a fellow musician and I will admit I get swept up in the fashion aspect of things and I have fun with it. But the utter takeover of the social media spectacle of it all and the flex of what it is to attend for people on instagram- itâs getting cringey. I know several people that only went down to attend parties and never set foot on the festival grounds which is mind boggling to me. Putting a lineup at the forefront that is undeniably star powered and caters to as many genres as makes sense is going to be what puts music back at the focus.
With all due respect there are always people like that at every festival. I don't think that's the fault of the festival as much as it is the individual. If they want to waste $500 not seeing any of the music more fool them. However if they have fun regardless, even if its non sensical and cringey, who are we to say what they can do. I totally agree with you though, I wouldn't bother going if I didn't want to see the acts.
My hometown has a festival that has this massive hanging out culture just outside the festival area. There was a point where you had to clarify whether you were going to hang outside or actually had tickets, when you said that you're going to the festival.
But there are people like that at every festival. If you go every year (like I do) you know the majority of the crowd is there for the music and that this reputation is mostly unfounded.
â@StateofKait Except most of the people who go are rich out of touch people who have no idea that a single concert is a big deal for regualr people let alone a festival. All these comments like going to expensive festivals is something everyone has experienced
I canât imagine getting the chance to go to Coachella and not see the performers đ Iâd go in a tank top and shorts and call it a day đ
Damn the lineups for 2008-2012 i would have died for đ
i think a sense of community is definitely imperative for a music festival, but having influencers just come for the "aesthetic" and for the gram makes it very difficult to foster that feeling among all the festivalgoers. yeah, you could mind your own business and not care about celebrities taking selfies in the VIP section but that creates a huge divide and disconnect in the festival. it makes it hard to simply enjoy the music, because it would feel like nobody else is enjoying it with you.
Youâre the only CZcams channel that I actually like the video before even watching it, and never disappoints â€
I feel like Lolla is more music focused, an Coachella is influencer/fashion focused.
Coachella fell off so bad this year. I remember when Coachella used to be inescapable on social media but now, most people didnât know itâs happening.
Maybe itâs the side of internet youâre on because itâs all people were talking about on tik tok the past two weeks
i always find coachella so interesting as i live in the coachella valley. its honestly so funny when people glamorize it when its the worst time of year. the traffic is INSANE and the tourists r pretty bad. locals hate it
Girl you had arcade fire on the screen while you were talking about radiohead lol.
I don't know how to write this without seeming like an older person who is nostalgic for the past, butttt I really loved seeing the early 00s line-ups. To me, it reflected the golden days of festival culture, where yes you did occasionally care about what you were wearing, but it was also just about enjoying really great artists and being in the moment. In Australia, one of our biggest festivals got cancelled this year which was such a blow for the industry, and mainly due to low-ticket sales. I realise that the past is the past, however I hope that a bit of life can be brought back to the space so that people can continue to have these core memories, just as I did. Thanks for a really great video!
as someone who has attended since 2017, this years fashion has been waaaay more chill, though those who decided to turn out a look came up with something very cool and interesting. Its definitely not the same festival when i first attended and honestly experience wise (attendees, venue, employees) was probably my favorite this year. I think people project their thoughts onto coachella as reality but i took two friends for the first time and they thoughts were âits literally just another festivalâ but ofc, anything can be fun w the right friend group. on last thing⊠im so happy the boho chic style is OUT.
lmfao i went from 2007-2012 + omg it was a boho chic nightmare fever dream for sure! especially 2009-2011 lol. i'm glad to see the new generation of artists/ musicians continuing to evolve + grow the festival into something new, different + exciting
If I remember correctly, the tickets for the first edition of the Coachella festival in 1999 were sold for only 50 dollars and adjusted for inflation that's $93.74. As someone who doesn't plan to attend anytime soon to Coachella because it's too expensive.
great video! though i think it wouldâve been interesting to look into the negative impact the festival has on the valleyâs residents, who are mainly of low SES and are forced to live bellow the poverty line, as well as the impact for migrant farm workers in the area. i feel like it was a topic ppl were talking about a lot around coachella like two years ago but havenât seen folks talking on it this season.
MG this was AN EXCELLENT retrospective on an important piece of pop culture history. All the footage and facts combined, like okay journalism!!! This channel is always informative but you SNAPPED on this one, keep it up! đ
16:04 Coachella should incorporate more Native American rock musicians
Yes, definitely⊠but that still doesnât make it okay for Mary, with no connection to the culture, to wear a headdress
This was way more informative than I assumed it would be. I love your channel and the research you do. Thank you! đ€©
this was so well researched! THANK YOU! đđŸ
In the late 2000s, my then-boyfriend used to go to Coachella every year with his sister (who worked in the music industry) & her friends. I remember that I definitely wasnât too impressed about this; Iâd heard of it, but saw it as a kinda niche thing. It wasnât as ridiculously inescapable as it is now. No influencer culture yet, eitherâŠman I miss those days!đ
influencer olympics is the perfect name
This is so positive, thank you for also providing history babe! Love you gals
Thank you for the work you do putting these videos together & having as objective as a voice as you can.
i do hate that influencers have ruined Coachella and it has become a hugely popular event. Just for them to make sponsored posts I would still go just for the music cuz that's what I'm most excited for every year is which musician is going to perform
The research into this video is top tier.â€
This was such a good breakdown! Great job! đđŸ
Say what you want about Pearl Jam (I love them AND love John Oliverâs impression of them đ) but I seriously appreciate their dedication to keeping prices reasonable and sticking it to Ticketmaster. Good on them
Excellent video, I can see u did so much research and found amazing footage for each year! Greata s always
Great video, I learned some new stuff about coachella that I didnât know before!! :D
Honestly, I think that the reason people see coachella attendees as strangers who only care about fashion and instagram likes is because chances are, those are the only people on their social media feeds they see there.
Plus, when you think about it, the discourse over rich people showing off their wealth at shows and making the experience about themselves and not The Art has been around for *hundreds* of years. Itâs so easy to picture the ladies of 18th century Versailles gossiping all about how la duchesse angelique eclair baguette du fromage was perhaps dressed a little *too* fancy at that Mozart concert on sunday. Why, itâs as though she only cared about people seeing her new robe de polonaise and her 3 foot tall powdered wig! she must not have cared about the music at all, sacre bleu!!!!!!
Actually, to be perfectly honest, I find myself at and near many concerts due to my line of work and one of MY FAVOURITE things to see while walking around near the venue is being able to instantly tell who your people are, because they all have their Little Outfits. For instance, if you have a dress thatâs too flashy to wear every day, it can be the perfect thing to wear for a sparkly pop concert! And, where else are you going to wear your fancy boots and your best ten gallon hat but to a country concert? If youâre seeing a my chemical romance concert, everyone knows that you need to be dressed like youâre going to a funeral at the bare minimum, even if you donât choose to go full goth. Hell, even the old man rock concert goers have a very specific unofficial uniform where they dress as though they donât care about their outfits at all.
Honestly, I believe that people have their Little Outfits in the first place because they genuinely care about the music, and like any of us, they want to look their best when they go to see their heroes perform, you know?
Yeah coachella is really oversaturated and I definitely understand people being annoyed seeing influencers talk about it all the time, but also. Iâm not going to pretend that I WOULDNT take the opportunity to wear a cute little flower crown if I ever got to go to coachella, you dig?
Lol, I dig
im drooling at the 2002 lineup (vespertine era björk? siouxsie sioux? belle and sebastian???) đwho knew it used to be cool
The niche event that became mainstream. It's interesting that it went from trying not be mainstream and not exploited by Ticketmaster to being its own kind of institution.
So I used to sell water at Coachella in the early 2000âs before it really blew up and seeing what it has turned into is wild. Itâs almost unrecognizable. Iâm so glad I had that experience though, the early days were really chill and we used to eat our lunch in the same area as all the bands. Great video as always! Itâs very interesting to see Coachellaâs evolution over the decades.
Another wonderful presentation, thank you! âš
This is honestly one of the biggest questions buzzing in my brain as 98% of content I see of coachella is about fashion 2% is potentially music related.
A friend of mine who loves fashion went the year Eminem performed. Yeah, she had a few posts of her outfits in front of the iconic backdrops, and she looked great... But, she was also a music major at UCLA, and she now teaches piano and voice lessons - and we met at a latin dance class.
So while yeah, there's a massive component of fashion, social media; I think there's still a massive love of music too!
David Bowie???
I would have died lol
Bro for the longest time I didnât know Coachella was this big music festival, I literally thought it was like a fashion festival for influencers lol
Aaah the H&M x Coachella collection was wild! Totally forgot about it đ
"didn't want to overcrowd the venue" I'm pretty sure the point of festivals and headliners is to space out people across those few days. So giving people no option to buy single day tickets makes that impossible. Make it make sense.
Here in Chile, the exact same things has happened to our version of Lollapalooza
I discovered coachella in 2012 through pinterest & tumblr when the boho hippie "aesthetic" was peaking. Other than that, i don't find it appealing âïž
This
Can we talk about the fact that all performances from the show can be viewed online, besides one - Saint Levantâs, which was removed due to him being Palestinian đ can we talk about the literal genowsyde happening during this festival, funded by us taxpayer money?
Iâve been going to Coachella since 2014 and is worth itâs about who you go with
In 2012, there was also a Coachella Cruise from Florida to the Bahamas (SS Coachella). It's funny how it was a one time thing and nobody ever talks about it in these Coachella videos. I went. Never been to the actual festival but the cruise was honestly the best weekend of my life (sorry husband). ;P
Agreed with your point itâs the fault of the organizations not the concert goers I also think thanks to social media the lines between underground/alternative music vs mainstream/pop music is blurred artists like Lana del rey, Billie eilish, Tyler the creator etc are proof of that especially when niche/underground music genres like hip hop, urbano, R&B, alternative pop, EDM, etc have overthrown pop music as the dominating sound for the 2020s so far. As a big swiftie I would love to see Taylor perform its surprising sheâs never performed there sheâs honestly the only artist who can match beycyella if weâre gonna keep it real
As someone who went to EDC for years, the quality of people does change thanks to social media and influencer culture. No one cares if you take a picture at a festival itâs the blatant disrespect for other peopleâs experience. Same with fitspo gym culture, sorry but I do think influencers do ruin everything. Iâve resorted to festivals out of the country just to avoid the same vibes because a music festival is an investment you want to make sure the experience is good and friendly
Vanesa Hudgens MADE Coachella
never thought i would be around to see moderngurlz speak on dramageddon 2, gummy gate, james charles x tati westbrook drama
the. only thing I look for during the Coachella season is Sarah Baska's vlogs đ
such a cool analysis!
I just want to experience it once! lol, i finally have enough money, so Iâm hoping to join when thereâs a really good headliner in the next few years.
Hi, not sure if you'd like to do this but can you make a video analysing the outfits in Bridgerton? Especially since Colin and Penelope's season is approaching
I grew up in the city of Coachella and remember how slowly the music festival grew. I truly believe Coachella is going to die out in the next 10 years
Wow I never thought that's how Coachella started. Now I'm entirely curious about the SuperBowl Halftime show on how it become so big and why is it such an awaited event..
Wow, I'm a huge rock fan and had no idea about the festival's origins. It's so sad and frustrating. Went from a big rock show to a shallow festival about social media outfits and mostly mid pop performances. Damn. It's like a corporate horror story come to life.
i enjoyed the video very much! thank you!
iâm really glad that you talked about this festival and it taught me a lot about its (rather ironic) origins! however, i do wish youâd have touched on the controversies surrounding the organizers (SA, predatory behaviors, homophobiaâŠ) as it is still part of Coachella though it is not directly related to the actual eventâŠ
My boomer (millennial) girlfriend who attended Coachella 2002 JUST found out from me that Coachella is no longer predominately a rock festival. She had no idea it had changed so much đ đ
Coachella is a magical place!
I donât think theyâve had the best year this year. I attend stagecoach and love it, itâs starting to get like this too. Such a bummer. This was a fascinating video, thanks for posting. Who knew! I think I would have liked the old vibe of Coachella. Now itâs pretty young which I know is the point and a little to electronica for me. I like to listen to music and zone and enjoy. My vibe isnât doing Molly and Ketamine. Honest about Coachella Iâll never go so it doesnât bother me how trendy it is the only thing that irks my a little is how they get everything for free. Airbnbâs clothes tickets itâs annoying and just makes more and more turn up every year. Seems now the people dressed are the influencers, the celebrities are more relaxed and dress more incognito. Donât blame them
I went to EDC (Electric Daisy Carnival) in 2010 when raves werenât mainstream. I went for my high school graduation and wasnât a fan. I hate that electronica music and I never do drugs. But the druggies were nice and Iâm glad I wasnât sweating my ass off like Coachella people are
I wonder if that 44-year-old who didnât want his teen daughter going had his daughter go anyways.
Palm Springs and that whole area in the 90âs was nice and calm. I live in Orange County and my parents rich friends had a house in Palm Springs (2 hours from OC). We would go stay with their childless friends and I always enjoyed the desert at that time.
My birthday is April 22 and Coachella is always the weekend of or before my bday and Iâve been invited to go but I just donât want to. I would prob only go to see Pixies, but I donât think theyâre there. And the 2000 Coachella having 32,000 people is a lot. You said âonlyâ, but 32,000 is the size of a small town tbh
I have my fair share of Coachella complaints but when the sun is setting and youâre sitting under the giant art installs looking over the grounds itâs so beautiful u really forget about everything else
Oldchella (Desert Trip) 2016 was the one and only event worth going to. Thatâs all. đ
The last headliners tell you everything you need to know about Coachella. Cool left a long time ago.
I love your videos and was wondering if you could do a style analysis on Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds? It's long but even just a season would be cool. I don't know if there's really anything that could be shown much over time but it'd be so interesting
Definitely both. But i am not there, so I get to see it on YTB, the music part. đđŒđđŒđđœđđœđđœđșđ»đșđ»đ»
I don't go to Coachella it's expensive. I watch the Coachella performances on my tablet. Fashion was the last thing on my mind until I watch Haudelemode Coachella fashion roast videos.
1:04 ALI SETHI REP OMG SO AWESOME. Nice to see that along with Bhangra Rep.
Why do you always comment on every video that I watchđ
Wonderful, informative vid đ â€
I honestly only tuned in each yr for Vanessa đ
as someone who lives in the valley where the festival takes place, i wish it wasnât so big :/
it used to be so much more special and musical and now itâs just a game and people disrespecting my hometown :/
I really want to go to Coachella just once but with hotels & ticket prices being so high & constantly getting higher I donât Iâll be going any time soon unless a brand takes me
I always thought that it was in May.
Super interesting video, particularly the comparison to Glastonbury in the UK! Sadly Glastonbury (and other UK festival) ticket prices have also shot up in price in the last decade as they become larger/more popular đ
The best music festival
10:21 this was when I first heard of Coachella. I was a HUGE Gorillaz fan at the time and I wanted to go but of course I couldn't afford it lol
I loved this history, but there was one point I'd like to correct; as a teenager I attended Coachella 2005... my ticket was $85 then (pre-fees, it's printed and in a ticket album so I know my ticket price rememberance is correct. The mainstage lineup was indie to pop with exception of Bauhaus. While I adore them now, I'll never forgive the organizers for what happened; hundreds of goths pushing their way forward and me and my friend out of the way; from row 3 we went to row 13, but yeah... the Main Stage line-up for 2005 was Ravonettes > Snow Patrol > Wilco > Weezer > BAUHAUS > Coldplay... WTF.
