Woodstock 99 is awesome for 45 minutes, then it takes a hard left turn.

It's like a time machine back to the TRL days for a bit. Then somebody flips a switch and goes full propaganda. Blaming the whole thing on modern day issues. It was just a poorly run corporate event.
It was Fyre Festival in 100+ degree heat. People that want to use revisionist history are making it about racist white boys, and also lumping them in with school shooters.
Does anyone else remember those times? Am I the fool? When you run events on this scale, bad shite is going to happen. People need to go home reset, take a shower and come back.

I guess racism caused them to not buy enough water

I did happen shortly after Columbine... but not sure what that has to do with anything.
Most people there were white. The conditions were terrible. Mayhem ensued. It didn't happen because they were white.
I have a cousin that was there and ended up burned pretty badly the last night.

Yes. 47 minutes for me then turned that shite off.

That blonde chick really pissed me off. Being a angry white male didn't cause everyone to riot. Being a wasted 20 year old listening to Limp Bizkit, Rage and Metallica did. Also of course everyone went to the raves and took ecstasy after. Not sure why she thought that was so weird.

The best part of the doc was when Fred Durst said "This is 1999 motherfrickers - stick those Birkenstocks up your arse."

Came for the nostalgia
Instead got a doc on how bad white men are
It’s clear this documentary was made as a big frick you to white men. Woodstock 99 was simply a backdrop to push that message.

I've watched it twice. Seems to me they blamed it on a few different things, and the primary blame was on the promoters for being so ill prepared. There were certainly some aspects of it that I didn't care for. The blonde reporter was a bit much, and blaming Fred Durst seemed a little heavy handed.

Let’s be real. We all know how the OT and Poli board would have reacted if the crowd was 98% black.

Thankfully, blacks would never act like this. Ever heard of FreakNik?

Simply pointing out the hypocrisy. Many people upset about the mention of angry white males causing trouble would be chomping at the bit to name race if the tables were turned. Maybe not so much the movie board, but lots on others.

There is no hypocrisy. Read up on FreakNik. It was a yearly riot, I mean, "concert" that took over the city of Atlanta every year until they shut it down...in 1999.

It's also funny people complaining about the "angry white male" narrative when the documentary showed The Offspring on the very first night of the festival chiding men for groping women that were crowd surfing. Not that that is a symptom of the angry white male, but it certainly points to what part of the vibe was at the festival.
That said, I'm not sure the rioting issues happen if the event is better planned and executed.

How's that. By showing that blacks behaved like this at a music festival for damn near a decade without making national headlines.
If you want to talk hypocrisy, where is the documentary on FreakNik?

There is one. I forget where I watched it(I think it was on Showtime years ago) and I'm not sure if this is the one I watched, but here's one onYouTube.

Thanks for the link. Looking forward to seeing the commenters in the video talk about what peaceful riots they were.

The second I read that Moby was one of the primary artists who contributed to the documentary, I was no longer interested. Seemed like a group of people who liked the smell of their own farts a bit too much

Freaknik in Atlanta was so bad with violence, crime, looting, etc it was cancelled by the city. A documentary with the narrative that was used in that HBO Woodstock documentary blaming black violent crime even though it is backed by statistics would never be allowed to air like that Woodstock documentary. It would be deemed racist etc.

the entire Limp Bizkit set is on YouTube, the only mildly provocative thing Durst did was tell the crowd "they" were telling him to mellow it out a bit and he said something about that's what Alanis did. Break Stuff was one of their biggest songs, anyone bitching about that should not have booked them.
Frankly Anthony Kedis was probably worse and the fires were going on during the RHCP, of course the fires are 100% on whatever moron ok'ed the handing out candles to remember victims of gun violence
FFS its not a march against violence or some kind of non-profit issue shows. You hand out candles at a concert with groups like Korn, Limp Bizkit, RATM and Metallica
