I turned 19 in late 1999, there was no way I would’ve gone to Woodstock ‘99 that summer but my friends and I listened to those bands - none of us were angry. we were happy go lucky kids working summer jobs to pay for cds and shop at gadzooks and hot topic

Did you ever make a stop by spencers to buy anything?

The Spencer’s in the Esplanade Mall in Kenner

As kids, my siblings and I would laugh about the edible underwear at Spencer’s

just watched this documentary. I knew it got wild, but I didn't realize just how insane it got. Women being raped, a riot broke out, people set shite on fire.

I was sort of confused because according to this board, that's behavior only black people do

That’s such a stupid troll post. During all the Antifa/BLM garbage there were endless posts here slamming the stupid white Libs in the middle of it all, in many cases more so than POC.

Yeah, I remember the one in Cortana Mall had that one section we would go down real quick to get a peek at some of the "adult toys",

Who said I was offended? What started this was I was merely correcting another poster who thought the documentary’s point that Nirvana and Pearl Jam were into social justice causes was silly.

I think you missed my point, which was that those bands weren’t huge social justice advocates. They weren’t publicly pontificating from a moral high ground as activists. They weren’t using their platforms as global superstars to advocate. They rarely gave interviews.

Having negative opinions of rape and positive views of women don’t make people feminists. These weren’t bands who had any of their entertainment cache tied to social justice—they were bands that became cultural icons because of their music.

Cobain was a junkie loser who was ill equipped to deal with fame and the security of wealth. The man orphaned his only child (a woman) in a suicide. He would have been sucking a dick behind 7/11 for a dime bag if his music career never took off. Laughable that people call this man some social martyr. And I came of age with their stuff, still listen to them regularly.

Watched some of it on MTV. If I recall correctly it was a PPV type deal to watch all of it. I don’t know for sure. But it went from rock n roll Woodstock to just mayhem really fast. Totally different vibe and then the fires start. Next Woodstock should be hippie jam bands to cool off the funk that the 99 one brings. As another said, 1994 was much more of a fun scene and not so angsty. I remember 94 being Green Day, Tom Petty, etc. I really like a lot of the bands that played there and listen to Woodstock 99 sets sometimes, but the crowd showed up to get wild, not spread peace and love. Whatever. One of my favorite lines in What About Bob...”With all the horror in the world does it really matter?”

Documentary was a hit piece.

That blonde chick and Moby were unbearable miserable people
