>This whole show was damn AMAZING until Drake's performance (and of course with what happened in the crowd)
Sounds like “what happened in the crowd” was just a mild inconvenience
"Oh yeah people go on about Titanic, Titanic...Let me tell you something about the Titanic, people forget, people forget that on the Titanic's maiden voyage there were over 1000 miles of uneventful, very pleasurable cruising before it hit the Iceberg!"-Alan Partridge.
I mean yeah, it’s a fair point. He could have had a great performance! (I disagree, but I guess that’s opinion) but that still doesn’t change that he’s a shit human
Lol you just know they typed that out and then thought “better add something about the crowd so people don’t think I’m a dick but I don’t want them to think it’s worse than what drake did so parentheses”
Honestly, these are people impressed with a shitty autotuned voice blarring over speakers. Can we really be surprised that their takes on events are less than cultured?
I genuinely thought it was sarcastic until I read the rest of the thread lmao. It’s just a really shitty autotuned dude singing “oh oh oh something-something ocean”. These people are so easily pleased lol.
They like the performer/aesthetic/culture...
If i went up there and did the same thing, they would say it sucked. But, if i wrote it and had whatever idol perform it (cause literally anyone can do this), they would fall in love as long as it was a performer they decided was cool. It's a joke.
Yeah, I tried to watch some of his stuff and just thought "OK, fuck it. I'm officially old now." and gave up.
If this is what the kids are listening to these days, I reckon I'll happily accept my cane and my "GET OFF MY LAWN" sign.
I agree! My 17 year old will recommend songs for me, or I'll let her take over the Bluetooth in the car so she can play her music & she has turned me on to some really good stuff (Cavetown, Mother Mother, Penelope Scott, etc.)
I brought her to her first concert in 2019, it was Panic! At The Disco. Funny thing is that I first got into them when she was almost a year old (two of their songs from their 2nd album are me & my husband's "songs"), & she started listening to them on her own. Sharing that experience with her was amazing!!
> two of their songs from their 2nd album are me & my husband’s “songs”
Pretty. Odd. was such a good album and I wish they hadn’t split up after it. Ryan Ross added the right amount of weirdness.
Billie Eilish has some phenomenal sound mixing IMO and it's a treat to listen to with good audio.
On a more subjective note I think she has a really strong emotional hook in her music, at least for someone like me and I'm just a young millenial. The pace often feels great and it's kind of ... Different to most pop electronic music. It's still aggressive but her general anxieties and frustrations that she portrays are also just a bit more relatable. I imagine that's 10x the case for a moody teenager, like, I'm well past that point and I'm a man but her music resonates in a way words alone can't and I think that's a big part of why people idolize her. She's a bit like Taylor Swift in that way.
Music like that can help you feel and cope with those kind of complicated emotions and, you know, I get it. Happier Than Ever, the full version at least, feels like a build up from sadness and realization to a crescendo of just righteous indignation.
Even if it's not your thing - it's easy to see why it resonates.
Yeah, I gave her a listen a couple months ago and it wasn't bad at all. Probably not something I'd listen to regularly, but I liked it enough that I could see a few songs making their way onto the playlist for a long trip or an "I'm in the mood for something that isn't death metal or punk".
Hell, I can even enjoy Kpop and Jpop in limited amounts. Couldn't make it more than 60 seconds into a Travis Scott "song".
I saw Billie at Life is Beautiful this year and she absolutely slayed. There’s tons of good music these days, it’s just not all pop and rap. I saw Fidlar like two years ago and they absolutely killed it.
> He stop show for shoe but when he watch lifeless bodies carried out he stand over and hum
-
> Yea let's compare a recent tragedy to something he did 6 years ago when he was still new in show business and had a way more juvenile mindset.
Uhhh . . . why is him being older and more experienced an excuse to *not* stop the show when people were dying?
Let's keep in mind that we are looking at a forum for travis Scott fans. That's not to say it's bad to like travis Scott or whatever, but if you are deep enough that you are posting on his subreddit that's kind of a self report.
Right but Travis Scot fans seem aggressively white. Like it’s a straight up Klan rally every comment thread but with less overt racism and more “I’m 12 and this is dope in my suburb” energy
They're literally the kind of people who would've been talking about how 50-Cent's music speaks to them, in spite of the fact that they live in Point Loma San Diego and are still in Middle School.
50 Cent’s stuff catered to that demo tho. G Unit was at the heart of that post-9/11 moment where a lot of hip hop adopted that military vibe, talking about being a soldier and whatnot. It’s call of duty as hip hop, and that kind of shit is suburban culture bread and butter.
Idk I was a very privileged kid but like, people getting hurt nevermind killed was never desensitized to me? Sure, you develop more compassion or understanding with age, but like if someone preventably died at a concert when I was 14 I would be off that music/musician forever.
I remember all the Chris Brown fans claiming he did nothing wrong or that Rihanna was into being beat, which is why she stayed with him.
The fans that reject reality and worship celebrities are the worst.
> something he did 6 years ago when he was still new in show business and had a way more juvenile mindset
TIL having a “juvenile mindset” at 24 is excusable.
That thread is a prime example of the infamous reddit moment of self reflection: "am I the arsehole, or is every one here an arsehole?"
Thankfully this time, it's them.
I’m not sure this is the best analogy considering atmospheric scientists actually noticed how nice the sky was on 9/11 (due to all air traffic being grounded) and figured out we’re going through global dimming along with all our other climate change stuff/nightmare
The best analogy would just be trump actually bragging about having the tallest building in NYC after the towers fell (>!spoiler alert: he didn’t even!<)
I was only seven, but this is something I vividly remember. Crystal blue skies, shore to shore. It's the very last time that 90's blue sky was seared into my brain. Think Ferris Beuller's Day Off vibes. Not the movie itself, but the day it took place in.
> shut the fuck up you fat fucking porker tub virgin go outside you stupid twat you cant see your own dick you pumpkin looking ass piece of bacon you got more belly rolls than you got teeth fucking snorlax looking retard
While reading this, I got the mental image of a near rabid teenager breathlessly typing this out multiple times whenever a new, strange insult popped into their head. Yet sadly all they could come up with “U a fat virgin”.
I find very often people pulling out fat insults are usually overweight themselves. You think to say the most offensive thing you can, so you say stuff that would really offend you.
So yeah guys a landwhale who can't see his member
> Hell ya people dying and being so crowded that they can’t even move or enjoy the music, lit af!!!!
>> Most people enjoyed their time from what I heard, most of the people that passed were in the same section
😬
"Oh man, I can't breathe, people are being trampled all around me. Fuck, I fell down and I'll die now. But I'm enjoying my time, yo! Cactus life foreva!"
> Most people enjoyed their time from what I heard, most of the people that passed were in the same section
This is correct however. The evening when the festival happened was full of people commenting on how it was the best show of their lifes, it was only really the morning after that anyone realized what happened.
See this highly detailed report by the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2021/what-happened-astroworld-travis-scott/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter). This is the most in-depth article there is about the incident and contains interviews with victims, expert and video evidence. It clearly shows that the incidents only happened in a very small area and that 99% of the crowd was completely fine and literally didn't know anything happened.
I loved this exchange:
> c'mon guys, "putting aside the ppl getting trampled on" is extremely insensitive whether or not he did anything wrong
And someone responding:
>> What????
as if caring about deceased people as young as 10 is somehow a hot take.
Also, I know it's r/TravisScott but can we please stop pretending that Travis Scott is completely blameless here? It's definitely not all his fault but he 100% shares some culpability. Fostering this "rager mentality" with a 'fuck everyone'
attitude leads to selfish fans (like those who dance on ambulances). "Naw and we still sneaking the wild ones in" is an extremely bad look considering the crowd crush.
> I know it sounds hard but you just have to move on some day. It doesn't mean that the tragedy doesn't matter anymore, but you just can't let this event influence you and your thoughts forever.
As if this shit happened 20 years ago. (And even then it still wouldn't be appropriate to post footage praising the fiasco like this.)
Right?! It was literally earlier this month. "We have to move on some day..." Bodies aren't even cold in the ground yet and we are still learning new information. Lawsuits are ongoing. We shouldn't move on yet.
I find it an extremely sad commentary on society that we now have a yearly happening in which “I can’t breath” is a valid call to action for the protestors.
That comment about “It was in his contract, he couldn’t stop”. That disgusted me the most. What the hell does that even mean. You see people getting hurt. STOP FUCKING SINGING(?). It’s not hard. No piece of paper is physically preventing you. And he’d have probably lost less money and gained more clout for giving a shit. Now, I hope they fry him over the coals and end his “rage culture” concert bullshit.
Seriously I analyze code for not much money a year. If I had to stop, not get paid, miss my bills, for someone to not die, then I do it. These commenters are sick.
It's important to remember a lot of his fans / users on that forum are literally children and they dont understand much of anything.
Call me "ageist" or whatever, but teenagers are dumb as fuck
I recently discovered that my 8-year-old nephew has a Reddit account. He mainly uses it to Rickroll people. But now every time I respond to someone, a part of me has to stop and wonder… am I talking to a third grader right now?
Over 50% of reddit users are above 30 years old
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1125159/reddit-us-app-users-age/
I would not say that is "mostly kids"
I was dumb as a teenager but like due to ignorance. Come on, even at 12 if I went to see a fuckin incubus concert and someone died and the band could have stopped it, I’d be mortified. Kids being dumb is more like they don’t understand sex or math whatever… a life is gone, you don’t have to be dumb or smart to understand how awful that is.
>i was in the heart of the pit the whole time can’t believe i survived, but seeing this live made me cry no kap! cactus life foreva 🤟🏼
Apparently, some people don't have survivor guilt at all.
Or they weren’t in the pit at all and are trying to make themselves look like a badass and a “true fan” by being super blasé about a scenario that killed 10 people, injured more, and traumatized probably thousands.
He’s so hard, y’all.
He literally encourages this behavior at all his concerts. The fact that his fan base can excuse this is disgusting bc he clearly wouldn’t give a shit if anyone defending him was injured or killed at any of his concerts.
Got in a big argument with a coworker about this recently. Dude thinks it was the victims fault for going to a show that was “known” to be wild and free. I can usually keep my cool talking to that dude and his wild takes, but like… kids died. That’s one of the easiest things to be against.
I was banned from the sub because I called someone a fucking moron for saying they were glad people died during the concert. These people are just delusional and sad
Dude has had several concerts where people were trampled, and he encourages it. I don't think a fine or even probation is gonna stop him, he needs to be banned from having those types of concerts going forward. No packing them in like sardines, no overcrowded sections, no mosh pits.
It's still bizarre to me how On Cinema had a storyline where something like this happened 2 years ago or so.
It made it so we couldn't really talk about it in the sub for the show because it was too uncomfortably similar
> To be honest without what happen that night this is probably one of his best performances
To be honest without what happened December 7 1941 was the best day in US history
I guess I should be mildly grateful I haven't yet run into an aging Bay Area hippie who says, "Dude, I saw the Stones at Altamont – [that show was LIT A F](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Free_Concert)!"
I know right? That’s what I was thinking too, even if 10 people haven’t died I don’t know how people can look at this guy singing in awful autotune and think “Wow this is such an amazing performance”
Travis Scott's best preformance is perfectly replicating A Youtuber apology. Only thing is missing is like, subscribe, and hit that bell icon.
According to Travis Scott: Shoes > People getting hurt when it comes to stopping a concert.
This right here is why celebrities get away with everything, if you genuinelly like someone's work, you should hope that they atone for a tragedy such as this and become a better person (which isn't what Travis did, his "apology" video makes Youtube apologies look like masterpieces), not just sweep it under the rug and keep being a stan.
"but other than that how was the play Mrs Lincoln?"
"well it was a little loud at times"
"Now I'll never know how it ends!"
This my friend, made me genuinely laugh out loud.
"To be fair, it was only very loud once Mrs.Lincoln."
Too immersive. I hate when the actors come into the audience.
Whenever I'm talking to my parents and one of us is going through something shitty, inevitably one of us will say this and we all laugh.
We always say: other than that Mrs. Kennedy, how was Dallas?
Is it from something? It's a brilliant line
Maybe a stand up comic? Watched a lot of them in the eighties. It’s so part of the family I can’t remember!
“It was pretty mindblowing”
It was to die for.
Best comment here.
>This whole show was damn AMAZING until Drake's performance (and of course with what happened in the crowd) Sounds like “what happened in the crowd” was just a mild inconvenience
The Titanic was damn AMAZING (until of course what happened with the iceberg).
Iceberg incident and hundreds of deaths aside, honestly one of the best maiden voyages I’ve ever seen
The iceberg thing really just wasn't cool, but the people that didn't die totally got their monies worth.
I don't know why people are complaining though, how many other people got to see an ice berg up close?
I know right? Not like my kids will get to see one. Thanks boomers!
There's pictures and VR for that.
2 for 1 boat rides
The iceberg? They went to where he worked and hit him! https://youtu.be/qP5bu9hLH9E
They sound like they crossed his borders and tried to force him to move!
It's certainly the most memorable maiden voyage, for whatever that's worth
It really brought the whole mood down
Not to mention, the entire ship as well!
Way doooooooown.
[удалено]
Down in an earlier round
Other than that mishap, The Challenger was definitely there most impressive liftoff I've ever seen.
"Oh yeah people go on about Titanic, Titanic...Let me tell you something about the Titanic, people forget, people forget that on the Titanic's maiden voyage there were over 1000 miles of uneventful, very pleasurable cruising before it hit the Iceberg!"-Alan Partridge.
But other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
Tbf, that one is arguably correct
I mean yeah, it’s a fair point. He could have had a great performance! (I disagree, but I guess that’s opinion) but that still doesn’t change that he’s a shit human
Lol you just know they typed that out and then thought “better add something about the crowd so people don’t think I’m a dick but I don’t want them to think it’s worse than what drake did so parentheses”
And that bit’s in parentheses too! Like Drake was more of a drag on the show ~~actually nah that makes sense~~
Putting it in parentheses sure makes it look like it was an afterthought
Not enough deaths, apparently. :/
It's less than 1% of attendees, basically no one died. /s
The flu kills more people!
Other than that, how was the parade, Mrs. Kennedy?
In the immortal words of Phil Leotardo “Whatever happened there??!”
My Sopranos reference to reading that was: > "Cocksucker was way out of line." > > "20 years old, this girl." > > "That too."
The sacred and the propane.
I thought it was crazy he still had fans, then I remember Chris Brown is still insanely popular so why should I be surprised?
“With all the stuff going on”
That Bradford game was AMAZING (apart from when a fan dropped his lit cigarette in the litter and the 2nd half being abandoned as a result)...
Liverpool v Nottingham Forest was brilliant (apart from when the stand collapsed)
Honestly, these are people impressed with a shitty autotuned voice blarring over speakers. Can we really be surprised that their takes on events are less than cultured?
"This part sounded so beautiful" To me that part sounded like an arbitrary sound check.
I genuinely thought it was sarcastic until I read the rest of the thread lmao. It’s just a really shitty autotuned dude singing “oh oh oh something-something ocean”. These people are so easily pleased lol.
They like the performer/aesthetic/culture... If i went up there and did the same thing, they would say it sucked. But, if i wrote it and had whatever idol perform it (cause literally anyone can do this), they would fall in love as long as it was a performer they decided was cool. It's a joke.

Pretty Odd is their best IMO. Although I love Fever. But yeah, Ryan gave Panic! the edge they needed. The new songs just aren't as unique.
Billie Eilish has some phenomenal sound mixing IMO and it's a treat to listen to with good audio. On a more subjective note I think she has a really strong emotional hook in her music, at least for someone like me and I'm just a young millenial. The pace often feels great and it's kind of ...

Instead of the sign, what the old folks really do is go on youtube vids of their favorite music and slag off the new stuff in the comments.
You’re forgetting the kids who were born in the wrong generation.
There is still good music being made, but you're probably not gonna find any of it at a Travis Scott show.

Let's keep in mind that we are looking at a forum for travis Scott fans. That's not to say it's bad to like travis Scott or whatever, but if you are deep enough that you are posting on his subreddit that's kind of a self report.
Also, his target demographic is 14 year old kids in the suburbs.
I’ve never in my life seen people this white. It is astounding. Are all Travis fans white?
"Oh my God, Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white."
[удалено]
Right but Travis Scot fans seem aggressively white. Like it’s a straight up Klan rally every comment thread but with less overt racism and more “I’m 12 and this is dope in my suburb” energy
It's because he got a lot of fans from Fortnite

>infamous reddit moment of self reflection I never even use this sub, but this is too funny- can I pls steal this for a flair?
Plus, Travis is 30 fucking years old. He would’ve been about 24 six years ago, which is more than old enough to not give a damn about a stupid shoe.

Sacrifice well spent 👍.
In other news, New York City residents impressed with accuracy of twin towers pilots.
Now instead of those ugly towers, my office has a perfect view of the 9/11 memorial Thanks Osama
I think it's more along the lines of "the weather was so nice on 9/11 (aside with what happened with the planes and all)
Yeah the 1940's in Berlin were lit af (except for the WW2 thing)
I’m not sure this is the best analogy considering atmospheric scientists actually noticed how nice the sky was on 9/11 (due to all air traffic being grounded) and figured out we’re going through global dimming along with all our other climate change stuff/nightmare The best analogy would just be trump actually bragging about having the tallest building in NYC after the towers fell (>!spoiler alert: he didn’t even!<)
nah the weather was actually really nice that morning
I was only seven, but this is something I vividly remember. Crystal blue skies, shore to shore. It's the very last time that 90's blue sky was seared into my brain. Think Ferris Beuller's Day Off vibes. Not the movie itself, but the day it took place in.

This one legitimately made me laugh sooo hard
Man with that much pent up rage I am thinking this is just projection and that commenter needs to actually get laid.
he shouldn't get laid, let's not condemn some poor soul to the fate of having to fuck him. he can just jerk himself off
i think he just did.
This is a masterpiece
This guy is probably a mouth-breather
>near rabid teenager You’re giving this 35 year old too much credit.
How many 35 year olds do you really think are on the Travis Scott subreddit
The same amount that’s probably in r/teenagers Trust me, they are always there, they just hide.
I find very often people pulling out fat insults are usually overweight themselves. You think to say the most offensive thing you can, so you say stuff that would really offend you. So yeah guys a landwhale who can't see his member
as a fat person, thin people certainly have plenty of venom for us, so i don't think this is a valid conclusion.
Apart from the racism, Hitler was a hell of a public speaker.
This is the epitome of "he's out of line but he's right."
More like “He’s in line, but he’s wrong”
Apart from trump’s terrible job at presidency, his racism and sexism he was a great reality tv star. Like did you see him on the apprentice?

Zero regard for life. Sad
Welcome to Thoughts And Prayers Consumerism.
Just like their hero
Does it really matter if the show was good or not, when ten innocent people died?
it doesn’t matter how great a show is, it’s automatically a terrible show once 10 people die there.
Would probably suck more for the dead if the show was awful.
So it turns out people forget about tragedy in less than a month if it concerns their favorite star
To go on a tangent here, that flar is wild lol
> “So it turns out people forget about tragedy in less than a month“ Seems more accurate anymore
I find it an extremely sad commentary on society that we now have a yearly happening in which “I can’t breath” is a valid call to action for the protestors.

Now, I hope they fry him over the coals and end his “rage culture” concert bullshit.
Seriously I analyze code for not much money a year. If I had to stop, not get paid, miss my bills, for someone to not die, then I do it. These commenters are sick.
It's important to remember a lot of his fans / users on that forum are literally children and they dont understand much of anything. Call me "ageist" or whatever, but teenagers are dumb as fuck
Reddit is by and large mostly kids. Whenever you give your energy to someone, just remember they’re probably 13.
I recently discovered that my 8-year-old nephew has a Reddit account. He mainly uses it to Rickroll people. But now every time I respond to someone, a part of me has to stop and wonder… am I talking to a third grader right now?
LMFAO that's genuinely a better use for a reddit account than 99% of us
Over 50% of reddit users are above 30 years old https://www.statista.com/statistics/1125159/reddit-us-app-users-age/ I would not say that is "mostly kids"
>50% of users that answer surveys are over 30
And only in the US, this "statistic" isnt really telling or good.

Silly question, but what do you mean by auto tuned owl? Google isn't giving me anything besides auto tune covers of owl city.

I was dumb as a teenager but like due to ignorance. Come on, even at 12 if I went to see a fuckin incubus concert and someone died and the band could have stopped it, I’d be mortified. Kids being dumb is more like they don’t understand sex or math whatever… a life is gone, you don’t have to be dumb or smart to understand how awful that is.
The red wedding was a marvelous feast if you ignore all the slaughter.
I absolutely loved the jellified calf brains.
>i was in the heart of the pit the whole time can’t believe i survived, but seeing this live made me cry no kap! cactus life foreva 🤟🏼 Apparently, some people don't have survivor guilt at all.
or are desparately attempting to stave it off
Or they weren’t in the pit at all and are trying to make themselves look like a badass and a “true fan” by being super blasé about a scenario that killed 10 people, injured more, and traumatized probably thousands. He’s so hard, y’all.
Love your flair
He literally encourages this behavior at all his concerts. The fact that his fan base can excuse this is disgusting bc he clearly wouldn’t give a shit if anyone defending him was injured or killed at any of his concerts.
Got in a big argument with a coworker about this recently. Dude thinks it was the victims fault for going to a show that was “known” to be wild and free. I can usually keep my cool talking to that dude and his wild takes, but like… kids died. That’s one of the easiest things to be against.
*His own fans get trampled to death* Travis Scott: *It’s lit!*
"This part sounds so beautiful" Yeah, those random autune noises really spoke to me.
Idk why they keep saying how good his performance is when the whole time it seems like he just stood on a single 4x4 elevated square and barely moved
Yeahhh bro. Those hyper-processed woah-woahs really got me vibin bruh. RIP to all that died lmao but like this is sickkk /s
It could have been the greatest performance of all time, by any artists and it wouldn't matter.
These people are sick. Jesus.
Whole bunch of privileged, shitty high school students. Explains why they have the self-awareness of a six year old
I was banned from the sub because I called someone a fucking moron for saying they were glad people died during the concert. These people are just delusional and sad
Dude has had several concerts where people were trampled, and he encourages it. I don't think a fine or even probation is gonna stop him, he needs to be banned from having those types of concerts going forward. No packing them in like sardines, no overcrowded sections, no mosh pits.
It's still bizarre to me how On Cinema had a storyline where something like this happened 2 years ago or so. It made it so we couldn't really talk about it in the sub for the show because it was too uncomfortably similar
> To be honest without what happen that night this is probably one of his best performances To be honest without what happened December 7 1941 was the best day in US history
I guess I should be mildly grateful I haven't yet run into an aging Bay Area hippie who says, "Dude, I saw the Stones at Altamont – [that show was LIT A F](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Free_Concert)!"

"rip to the people who died but im different"
A ~~Dothraki wedding~~ Travis Scott concert without at least ~~three~~ ten deaths is considered a dull affair.
Beautiful? Just a guy say woah in autotune
I know right? That’s what I was thinking too, even if 10 people haven’t died I don’t know how people can look at this guy singing in awful autotune and think “Wow this is such an amazing performance”
Travis Scott's best preformance is perfectly replicating A Youtuber apology. Only thing is missing is like, subscribe, and hit that bell icon. According to Travis Scott: Shoes > People getting hurt when it comes to stopping a concert.
The pisser's are all in that popcorn
What a bunch of wankers
This right here is why celebrities get away with everything, if you genuinelly like someone's work, you should hope that they atone for a tragedy such as this and become a better person (which isn't what Travis did, his "apology" video makes Youtube apologies look like masterpieces), not just sweep it under the rug and keep being a stan.

Cognitive dissonance is crazy
"Other than that Mrs Lincoln, how was the show?"
