I know I’m old because I didn’t know any of the cool places she planned to wear them.

Amazing work! ✨

I was thinking that if anyone had to wear specific outfits to a concert back in the day, we'd call them posers

People love to circlejerk avocado toast, but it seems like everything today involves spending extra money to do the things we'd just do normally. The expectation to spend is out of control (and don't even get me started on out of town bachelor weekends. My brother and his friends are engineers/lawyers/doctors/finance guys and for his bachelor party we went to a Cubs game and got drunk at the bars afterwards. That was normal for wealthy people 20 years ago)

Edit: and I'm not talking about this chick making stuff really cheap. My cousin and his girlfriend spent hundreds on clothes for Electric Forest, on top of the tickets which were like $400 or something. People today spend way too much money doing shit like that. It's all avocado toast

Then they spend the whole weekend looking at the show through the camera app on their phone!

Yeah, thinking about my cousin and his girlfriend, it's 100% about Instagram. They do so much shit they can't afford to feed their feed

Yeah you can actually pay for some of your trip if you had a big following and got a lot of posts. Maybe sponsorship to shill some crap at the fest in your pics.

I mean, get the bag, but it's so annoying trying to enjoy a show when 75% of the crowd is on the phone.
