Is it? Tents cost money. 

Seems insanely wasteful, both environmentally and fiscally.

Let’s be honest, festival goers aren’t exactly known for being fiscally or environmentally responsible.

I used to go to festivals in the early 2000s and never experienced anything like this. Maybe it was the festivals I was attending, but everyone packed their stuff out. I’m sure there were some thing left behind, but nothing like this scale.

Yeah, this is crazy. I have never seen a festival with this much garbage left on the ground like this.

I'm just talking out my ass here but this seems like TikTok/IG behavior. People who go to festivals to snap a few pics for social media.

I go to a few different music fests and there is absolutely no littering occurring at all.
