Reggie Watts expresses his disappointment with Coachella, noting its impressive scale but a growing absence of authenticity and community. He describes the festival atmosphere as confusing and corporate-driven, where attendees feel like consumers rather than participants. Watts highlights the visible waste and environmental neglect left behind, further emphasizing the transactional nature of the event. He concludes by recommending independent festivals that foster real connections between artists and audiences, advocating for a return to genuine experiences over commercialism.
"I've been to Coachella a handful of times now, and while the scale is impressive, the soul feels increasingly absent."
"There's no real sense of love coming from the festival toward the people. No care. No reverence. Just vibes curated for influencer culture."
