It was stupid how much security was there.
I went last year and everyone I've talked to has started calling it Summersetup.
Probably going to be even worse this year, but I'm wiser meow.

Yeah, yelling commonplace phrases at a festival is almost like some sort of "club password."
Besides just yelling stuff, people almost always ask the same questions too.
This guy in my group last year asked like 1,000 different people the same five questions, it got really annoying.
Where are you from? What do you do? This your first festival? Shit like that gets old after a while.

Obviously they're good for breaking any ice, but when you're not the stranger and you're just hearing it repeatedly throughout the day...it's torture.
I'm a much more random topic, conversation starter.
Like, what's your favorite color? Your hooping skills are crazy, how long have you been doing that?
I wish more people at festies would be genuinely more spontaneous with their conversations with strangers.

I like to start the conversation with a comment about their outfit: "Nice tutu u have, did u make it?" and "I like your rage stick"

thats stupid
one thing that really gets me in this scene is people recording parts of the show. like if your recoriding the whole set then nvm, this doesnt really apply to you (cuz what they do is also good for the scene and all the people who got too fucked up and forgot the show)
BUT, like why do people gotta take so many videos. can people just for fucking once live in the moment? i always cringe when i see people at the best shows recording at the best tracks cuz like you werent meant to experience that thru a 4 inch screen, but through your own eyes. i used to take vids but during the best parts i never recorded it cuz that shit was meant to be experienced first hand. all the vids i ended up taking were during more boring parts and at that point, whats the point? so i just stopped. didnt take one picture or video at red rocks this year lol
i straight up dont give a fuck about remembering a show, ill rage the fuck outta it and if i black out or forget a lot of it, i dont care. im not in this scene so i can remember what happened, im here to expeirence that shit at its fullest. and ill always know that in the moment, i was having a great time and thats all this is really about, having fun
like why do you gotta record the video? YOU WERE THERE!!!!
100% agree, it's like they're already at home watching through a screen instead of being 'in the moment'...I like the way you described that.

Trying to watch the man burn without a platform above everyone else is nearly impossible because of these narcissistic assholes. Their video won't be any better than the hundreds of other videos out there. The professional videos would be about 20% cooler too if you didn't see thousands of morons thinking they're documenting something special. I have literally taken about 5 pics from my 3 years at burning man and not a single video.

yeah i mean if theres people doing professional film of the burn, then put your stupid phone away
it amazes me how people are just not capable of living in the moment, like just for fucking once, experience life
lets be real here, more often than not, peope taking vids at shows are noobs and its a tell tale sign of that. after youve been around for a while you realize its pointless and you stop doing it. i dont even like having my phone on me at shows/fests cuz i dont wanna lose it

you guys are overthinking this
like sure to actually start the convo maybe you do it that way, but at any festival when you meet someone its a natural question to ask where theyre from. its fun to see how far away people travel. obviously after that you talk about other shit like the festival itself or best sets so far or what ur excited for. just general music conversation
if you literally just ask the same few questions over and over then thats that then you move to the next stranger, then you need better drugs. when im rollin i have zero filter and anything that pops in my mind ill just start talkin about

Yeah, I guess you gotta start somewhere, just seems like such a bland place to start. Like ending a convo by saying, "Have a nice day!" I mean, it's fine and all, good wishes, but if you use the same opener/ender on everyone it starts to sound scripted, right?
I dunno, whatever... why do people everywhere say the same things?

i guess it's all about context and environment too...
being socially inept, i'd probably appreciate someone making small talk with me.

The average and mundane, like meaningless small talk, should have no place at a festie.
If I wanted to talk to someone about where they work and where they're from, I'd just go to the bar.
Festivals should be where the most colorful and weird conversations happen.
The title of this thread is "why do people at festies always say the same shit," I think small talk falls into this category.
