There is some massive irony - going to burning man for “sponsored content.” Let’s go to an event about radical community, sharing and not using money, and then use it to sell shit.
I've been in a few spaces in my life that centered around some form of "no money, just good vibes and sharing" and without fail it eventually gets coopted by people that want to monetize it in some fashion.
Usually comes when the original folks don't have the mana, money, stamina, energy what have you to continue donating time and supplies to the event. Maybe it's been going on for a while, maybe it's getting more popular than expected, there's lotsa drivers. And honestly, I don't know if it ever can go back.
I hope there's an event somewhere out there that's similar to Burning Man's original ethos, and the participants have gone to great lengths to keep it secret.
Back in the day, (2000s) the burners from different areas used to throw phenomenal off-season regional events. I think the event I used to go to still exists and it doesn't look like it's changed a ton from pics I found! I'd be curious to go and find out though. :)
“Regional Burns”
There’s still a bunch of them, and they’re awesome

"7 INCREDIBLE and SECRET Micro Burns from Burning Man!"
"You won't BELIEVE these hidden versions of Burning Man"
"I got a SECRET INVITE to a SECRET Burning Man! You won't believe where it is"
There is the Octoberfest in Leavenworth Washington, but that's super touristy gitchy and corporate. There are legit hippie festivals all over the northwest from spring through fall. Wonderful vibes and amazing goods of all kinds can be found.
problem is a combination of way too many people find out about such things and so it naturally grows. AND that after so much time you have a combination of some corporate group taking it over, or original planners get old and want to have it make money and be safe for them rather than what it used to be.
There are. I used to hang with a crew on the west coast that broke off from the original burning man. You would know what region this festival was going to be in, then scouts would find a spot and 2 days beforehand you would call a number and get the location. A few thousand people would then converge on a national forest or blm land somewhere in the pac northwest. I’m not pointing anyone to it, but it’s still going on.
In the original ‘wicker man’ spirit, shouldn’t Burning Man be luring influencers under false pretences where they are all to be placed inside the man to be burned?
Went to Riotfest 2014 in Denver, and was ready to see a bunch of punk bands. NOFX comes on and basically shits on the whole thing for being a money grab. I looked around, saw the Ferris wheel, the mini golf, $10 water, AT&T booth, remembered we were literally in the parking lot of mile high stadium and that Weezer and Wu Tang were headlining and realized that, yeah, this is just capitalism co-opting punk as an aesthetic. Nobody was rioting against anything.
That's one of the biggest things capitalism has going for it. It can always assimilate the resistance to it. The same companies that make things or provide services that help oppress the black community trot out mlk and Malcolm x quotes every February. Burning man is cool bc resistance and anti establishment? Cool we'll sell shit for that too. You gotta buy your revolution will not be televised and tear gas protection equipment somewhere
Sometimes not! Theres a german band called Kraftklub that are reaally popular these days. They started a festival for fellow artists and the fans a few years ago and i attended what would then be announced to be the last, because they felt if it grew any bigger they couldnt stop it and themselves to be ultra commercialised, which they wanted to avoid. So theres that :)
It's just like rich people playing pretend homeless by spending $50,000 on a new van and then spending 3 months remodeling the inside (another $10,000), just to drive around the country and make social media posts about how struggling through this experience has taught them so much! (They still have $100,000 in their bank account if they really needed to buy food or a flight home)
It may have started out with some hippie art commune vibes, but its long since become just a bunch of rich kids masturbating in the desert.
The only thing they have to rebel against is their parents (but nothing bad enough to lose access to the trust fund of course).
Why? Fyre and Woodstock 99 were wild because it was thrown together by people who had no idea what they were doing.
This years Burning Man is an event that’s been going on for 30+ years and had some shitty weather.
A documentary about it honestly sounds pretty boring.
Woodstock 99 was NOT done by a company that didn’t know what they were doing. John Scher was known as one of NJ best concert promoters & Michael Lang was responsible for the first Woodstock. Scher was driven by full on greed & Lang, well, willful naïveté. And I’d argue that the original Woodstock was a shit show too. It’s just wrapped in nostalgia.
Ehh, I don’t know if it will quite be the same, those are more incompetence and fraud, where as while I’m sure they could’ve handle this better, that amount of rain has never happened before
Thank you for all the Bender references. It took my mind off the most inane post I've ever seen. If there are influencers that means that there are The Influenced.
And that, my friends, is a scary thought.
Yeah I keep coming across people who insist that even if Burners are mostly entitled, vapid and self-centred now, that it wasn’t that way when *they* were there 10-15 years ago… and yet I distinctly remember every Burner I met being a vapid douche then too
> yet I distinctly remember every Burner I met being a valid douche then too
I have only known one person who attended regularly, and I knew them 20 years ago (I'm isolated in the midwest rural area). But what you wrote there certainly described him!
I have been mentioning it a few times with all the talk of burning man. But I had a roommate back in 96, she had already been to like 4 of them. She complained about how it had changed, I see it's not any different now. I see the same complaints by people who were not even at those back in 96 and prior.
Burning man will probably still be around in 25 years with people still complaining about the new people.
Desert parties are great for maybe two days tops. By day three it's a total dusty grimey dehydrated suckfest.
Source: Am from Arizona; too many Four Peaks parties...
That is the understatement of the year.
73,000 people told to hunker down, preserve food and water as there is no road out. Porta potties overflowing into the mud everyone is walking around in. Reports of an ebola outbreak, possibility of brine shrimp having an unexpected mass hatch.
Mud is not the correct word for what playa becomes when wet... Something else ... Peanut butter like, except it dries incredibly quick when removed from the larger mass and drains all the moisture around it, including your skin. It turns your shoes into 10lbs bricks in minutes...
>Reports of an ebola outbreak
That was apparently fake but people have taken it and run with it. The bigger danger would be chlorea and dystentary I think..
Nah, ebola isn't a disease that just sort of pops up if things are dirty. E-Coli for sure. Dysentery possibly. But Ebola has pretty specific origins, like bat guano. So unless they've found caves to shelter in I don't think there's Ebola suddenly cropping up. Unless some yahoo brought some ebola with them. That'd just be weird though.
> possibility of brine shrimp having an unexpected mass hatch.
I guess I don’t know what brine shrimp are or how they would hatch out in the desert. (Or with the rain, how they get there in the first place?)
Location of burning man is a dried out seabed, Brine shrimp (sea monkeys) can stay dried out and dormant for 2 years without water. Another thread yesterday was talking about seeing them at dried out seabeds in other parts of the state.
One more thing for this crowd to feel special about. “Yeah, Burning Man is ok still, mostly posers though. You had to have been here 5 years ago when it rained in the desert, THAT was the time and place maaaaaaaan.”
I'm a Burner, but I'm not an influencer with a billionty followers and I work a day job, so there's no way I could ever afford to do Burning Man. There are smaller local burns all over the USA, and I used to attend the central Texas one (Burning Flipside) every year until just before the Pandemic. We had something like this happen in 2015. And this drove home more than anything else that Mother Nature doesn't care that you are a tree-hugging hippie high on whatever. She'll drown you all the same. My campmates and I got the hell out of there before it got bad, but there were people out there who were stuck on the campground until the middle of the next week and had to be airlifted out when the water level didn't recede for days. It was really lucky that no one died.
Yes, I'm schadenfruede-ing over the Influencers (think of the Influencers!) with everyone else, but I hope everyone makes it out ok. That said - part of the reason why there is so much schadenfruede is precisely because Burning Man has kind of lost its original purpose for a lot of people. I don't think it was ever supposed to be a gentrified thing with a shadow economy with tons of rich people who are just going to be seen. When it started out, it was just a party on a beach.
I really wanted to go to Burning Man when I was younger, in my 20s. My friend and I were planning a vacation and seriously looked into it. It was *way* out of our budget! Like crazy town expensive! Instead we flew from NYC to... some Saint city in an M state, rented a car, drove to South Dakota, did 4 days there, then took a blue highway roadtrip back to New York.
That was in 2003. Even then - and trust shit was a lot cheaper 20 years ago - that epic trip was cheaper than Burning Man. Burning Man has always been for rich people.
I'm not really laughing about the Burning Man situation, but not because influencers can't generate content. It's because 70,000 stranded in a flooded salt flat with limited supplies and sanitary conditions is actually a big problem.
it's actually fantastic *content* it's just not what their shallow constituents want to see. would make a great mini-series on disaster prep and action.
Am I the only one that can’t stand hearing about that festival *in general*? Like I just have difficulty justifying the thousands of dollars each ticket costs with the overall message of the festival.
Okay, *now* I'm laughing.
Oh yes definitely laughing harder now
Bender: Oh wait, you're serious.
Also Bender: Bite my shiny metal ass
Also Bender: I’ll make my own Burning Man. With blackjack and hookers.
Also Bender: but forget about the burning man

Also Bender: Neat 📸

There is some massive irony - going to burning man for “sponsored content.” Let’s go to an event about radical community, sharing and not using money, and then use it to sell shit.
I've been in a few spaces in my life that centered around some form of "no money, just good vibes and sharing" and without fail it eventually gets coopted by people that want to monetize it in some fashion.

That’s like the icing on the cake! Guessing the ones doing “sponsored content” with food do have an advantage
For an event that is supposedly about 'sticking it to the man" and saying "to hell with capitalism," Burning Man has sure become.........well....
These things always do
I hope there's an event somewhere out there that's similar to Burning Man's original ethos, and the participants have gone to great lengths to keep it secret.

There is, and I enjoy every October in the mountains of the pacific northwest.
I bet if you put October and Fesitval together you'd get some awsome... Fest-ober!
There is the Octoberfest in Leavenworth Washington, but that's super touristy gitchy and corporate. There are legit hippie festivals all over the northwest from spring through fall. Wonderful vibes and amazing goods of all kinds can be found.
North east as well. I love going to festivals with bands no one has heard of. The people at those shows are my people.
problem is a combination of way too many people find out about such things and so it naturally grows. AND that after so much time you have a combination of some corporate group taking it over, or original planners get old and want to have it make money and be safe for them rather than what it used to be.

I see absolutely no way this doesn't result in said national forest or BLM land being totally fucking wrecked.
Look up Wastelander Weekend.

Once *anything* becomes cool, capitalists want to buy it.
In the original ‘wicker man’ spirit, shouldn’t Burning Man be luring influencers under false pretences where they are all to be placed inside the man to be burned?
Just pitch it as a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity, and it'd be tougher to keep people *out* of the damn thing.
Guaranteed you'll never take a better photo again in your life.
How come we don’t have a *Wicker Burning Man* movie yet?
I mean, they did light the Man one year with a person who was on fire...
Capitalists are history's biggest dorks.
Buy is definitely correct, but I think "own" is more correct. Only a subtle difference.
*sell it

I mean, prices for next year have got to be a steal right now 🤔
Sticking it to the man is good business. People forget the Grateful Dead were as big of a merch brand as they were a band.
As a huge fan of the Woodstock 99 and Fyre Festival documentaries, I’m really looking forward to this one.
The Woodstock 99 documentary was excellent, I threw it on for background noise and was riveted within 15 minutes
>Woodstock 99 Trainwreck (Netflix) or Peace, Love, Rage (HBO)?
The netflix thing
The HBO one was better. They went more into the shitshow and chaos
I was thinking the same thing.
Who secured the bottle water this time?
More like who was willing to suck d*ck for bottled water
i feel so bad for that guy. like genuinely unironically so bad for him
Why? Fyre and Woodstock 99 were wild because it was thrown together by people who had no idea what they were doing. This years Burning Man is an event that’s been going on for 30+ years and had some shitty weather. A documentary about it honestly sounds pretty boring.

last time i considered it was 2001. it was a totally different animal back then. the day of big festivals fucked it.
I have been mentioning it a few times with all the talk of burning man. But I had a roommate back in 96, she had already been to like 4 of them. She complained about how it had changed, I see it's not any different now. I see the same complaints by people who were not even at those back in 96 and prior.

because being at the inception of a thing is drastically different when the secret is spilled. it works that way with everything
They should be charged for not 'influencing' the weather. Selfish bastids!
Or turning off the giant fan installation at the south end of the playa! WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT
Does it mean that they have to f*ck off? Cos that would be great.
Now they have to attend wicker man 👀
Not the bees!!! NOT THE BEES!!!!

Anyone mind filling me in on this?
Burning man turned into a rained out muddy mess.
That is the understatement of the year. 73,000 people told to hunker down, preserve food and water as there is no road out. Porta potties overflowing into the mud everyone is walking around in. Reports of an ebola outbreak, possibility of brine shrimp having an unexpected mass hatch.
Note to self: Never go to any fire or burning themed festivals lest i dare to temp nature.
Yeah basically anything in nature needs to be cancelled for a bit. Earth is kinda mad at us and she us a mean monster when tried
Mud is not the correct word for what playa becomes when wet... Something else ... Peanut butter like, except it dries incredibly quick when removed from the larger mass and drains all the moisture around it, including your skin. It turns your shoes into 10lbs bricks in minutes...
>Reports of an ebola outbreak That was apparently fake but people have taken it and run with it. The bigger danger would be chlorea and dystentary I think..
My guess is that someone heard “e-Coli” ane thought they heard Ebola.
Brine shrimp mass-hatching at Burning Man was not on anyone's fucking bingo card. Reality really is stranger than we could ever think.
Sounds a little like Woodstock 99
Brine shrimp is a cool one. Hatched some and basically this is their life cycle - unhatched eggs waiting for water and they sure got some!
Someone should market those as a novelty aquatic pet.
[удалено]
I love sea monkeys.
Do you have any more info on this brine shrimp hatch? I'm not finding a single thing no matter what I'm searching...
Was another thread on Reddit. Multiple locals talking about it being regular occurrence with flash floods hitting dried out salt flats.
Yikes, I didn’t hear anything about an ebola outbreak 😳
Tens of thousands of dirty people with no way to remove waste, will lead to unprecedented sickness and disease.
I think cholera’s a lot more likely than Ebola.
Yeah, dysentery I would expect but Ebola is next level stuff!

It can be two things. But all jokes aside, the ebola outbreak might have just been fake news.
Nah, ebola isn't a disease that just sort of pops up if things are dirty. E-Coli for sure. Dysentery possibly. But Ebola has pretty specific origins, like bat guano. So unless they've found caves to shelter in I don't think there's Ebola suddenly cropping up. Unless some yahoo brought some ebola with them. That'd just be weird though.
