Good, get rid of the rich kids. Return Burning Man to its humbler roots
The OG’s sold out dude.
@@ItsMeNanaD71 They all do. It's nothing new.
Burning man always for rich people
Real ogs never sell out! ✊️✌️🙌 @@ItsMeNanaD71
If burning man participant's are rich, you guys must be some serious low lifes.
Nothing says counter culture like $600 tickets and a literal CEO
It takes a lot to produce the city.
Fruits of that sweet, sweet American capitalism and the trust fund babies it makes 🤪
$600 for 8 days, or $75/day. You can barely manage a cheap motel for this.
@@barrybrumitt Cheap motel > literal chunk of desert ground and bring your own tent 🤣 but keep shilling for your festival, I love to be entertained.
@@MichaelSpicer-gz3bl Trust fund.
One-dimensional, self-serving people are trying to make it a music festival and have been killing off the sentiment of it for the past 10 years. So this is a good thing. Make Burning Man suck again!
Oh no! Instead of 80,000 showing up only 75,000 are showing up? It's over, rip burning man. 😂 Click bait news! 😜
The allure of this festival has been dwindling due to the high percentage of presumptuous and pompous attendees.
…..as the planet warms……blah blah blah. It’s a freaking dry lakebed to begin with 😂😂😂😂😂 It wouldn’t be terrible if it became an actual LAKE AGAIN.
😂😂😂😂
I felt identically as I hear the bs
I live in Reno so I prefer to just go camping out on the playa myself with all my equipment, party supplies, and friends and just dance and hang out and get crazy for a couple nights. Way better and you get the playa experience, especially at night under a fool moon I might add. Absolutely amazing time. Screw burning man it’s bunch of wannabe, corporate, sellout losers.
Fool moon lol 🙌
That does sound like a good idea!
Well said
Full 🌕
That sounds like way more fun
The problem with all of these hippy/80s festivals is that they where once about an idea and now they are about a money/being there. It kills them.
Simply said the kind of people who started burning man cant afford to go their anymore. Look at ur average college student for example.
At the same time interestingly from my point of view the idea remains only now in new festivals still adhering to it.
I really hope you aren't attending college. Because *there would actually not really be their. If you know what I mean? (Rhetorical) ((trying to prove a point. Rather than asking a real question)) (((Not trying to be mean. Just concerned with the children/teenagers of our future)))
We made Burningman like another planet 25 years ago. It was a splendid weirder than weirdly wonderful experience. And like all rad things…people slowly catch on and storm the splendor…and the patina wanes…tho many of us old burners still work on sustaining it~~~
No.. rain is not "becoming more and more common."
Year to year, month to month, day to day, things change. In fact the WEATHER has been known to change for a VERY VERY long time.
One year they call it "drought" in another year they call it "floods" but in FACT it's called "weather."
Please reader, learn the difference between "climate" and "weather" and do a little research on the various causes and cycles of WEATHER - the most complex system humanity has ever discovered.
Um ok
weird way of saying I didn’t understand the video
The sky is falling, the sky is falling! The 70 thousand people who came in 2024 and had a great time and would disagree I think!😊😅😂
The call it "weather" or "mother nature." Please call it for what it really is "Joop - Act of God (Hard Trance version)."
You're correct. It's weather. Rarely rains at end of August in the area. I've been 10 times and it rained twice.
I think he's not only understand it but rather nailed well the inconsistency of this click bait vid
$570 plus $150 for a vehicle pass - good grief!
It also looks as though party goers are partying in a sand storm!
White outs are fun
Compare that to any other 3-day music festival. Most events are 400+ and that’s just for a few days. Burning man is 7 days. Sooooo much cheaper imo
The spectrum of these comments is incredible. Always interesting to see how "passionate"/how much people have to say & care about something they "dislike" or disagree with so much. It's just like anything else ~ Do you drink/smoke? Are you religious? Do you believe in a person's individuality and respective path in life? If not, why spend the energy projecting your own (minimalistic) scope of the reality of things? This whole thing (The Burn) is a portrayal/model of the real world in a sense - it is whatever you make it. Everybody has their own reasons for going, many with hopes/intent it will be XYZ which is where missteps immediately come into play. If you go into it with hopes or expectations, especially based on the media, or other 'shallow-minded' individual's perceptions based on their own brief (maybe even altered/poisoned/skewed) take on their own experiences - you WILL be disappointed - because you didn't go through the experience via your own *genuine* scope of life, but rather through the lense of others. Stop wasting energy on hate, accept that this experience in life is not for you, and silently move on. Quit projecting. Spread the positivity. ❤🔥❤🔥
Well said. 2024 was my 1st burn. My RV rental fell thru 4 days before I was supposed to leave but somehow I was able to find one. It took 25 hrs to reach camp. I went with my bf who i started dating 4 months ago. We camped with ppl we've never met. My bike chain fell off the 1st day i rode it. The rv generator went out every day. 2 nights, I lost my crew, 1 night my bike pedal fell off while in deep playa at 5am meaning i had to walk back to camp but my gahhd what a blessing it was because I was able to take in the beautiful sunrise. Getting home took over 30 hrs because the rv broke down which meant waiting on the side of the freeway for 6 hrs. After all that, my friends and I were still on cloud 9. Would I do it again? Absolutely 💯! When you go with the right mind set, it's a magical experience no amount of money can buy. Those strangers we camped with are now family and the bond between my bf and I is so much stronger. Best of all, I discovered things about myself that gave me deeper appreciation. BM is a beautiful experience if you allow it.
Tickets for 600 USD? 😂
I always thought it was free
Thats the rainbow gathering lol
That's the "Rainbow." That's always free to watch after a good rainstorm 🌧 🌦 🌂 hahahah
I really don't think you can compare burning man to the rainbow gathering lol.... One is a commune of hippies focused on world peace, one is a LITERAL other-dimensional art festival with geniuses creating insane installations.
In the 1970s, I saw bands like Genesis at the Santa Monica, civic front row seats $6.50.
At least expensive four dollars and fifty cents😮😮
Genesis are amazing! I love their early stuff before Peter Gabriel left, wish I was alive
Okay father time
@@MichaelSpicer-gz3bl Father time born in way better times
No, it was absolutely fantastic this year - yet again (my 22nd). 2023 was pretty fun too. Rumors of its demise are ... well just clickbait and bitterness. See you there next year!
In the end the tickets did sell out and it was an amazing time. Really blessed to have been able to go!
All they have to do is NOT host it in August, which is literally peak monsoon season in Nevada.
Yeah but it’s like “new years” for them I need to make the tickets at least $300 not $500 plus your car crazy
The current board of directors has commodified and sold the experience to a donor class that receives favorable placement and services other camps cannot get. The commodification of its own tickets is really just the tip of the iceberg. The nonprofit organization is out of step with the Psychedelic Community with its political ideology. The executive consumer class that now attends are no fun to take acid with.
My cousin told me tonight that he will be going there in a few days. He also said that it was started to give a middle finger to corporate America. It seems a little bit like the pot calling the kettle 'black'.
Wow, a intellectual karen that's never been to burning man and never will pumping propaganda? It was a blast and all 70 thousand of us had a great time!
@dougbosworth8745
Non-profit? Does that mean that they don't get taxed for any of the money they make?
Gee-whiz Batman. Let's roll out. As in, leave this Darude -Sandstorm lol
You pay 650$ usd... I always thought this was free.
The total cost to attend runs about $2,000 per person for 5-6 days. I did it in 2016 and had a blast, but once was enough 👍
@garygolfer3243
Sounds like the Hindu: Festival of Colors with the colored chalk throwing on your body and every part of your skin and clothing. Like you said, only worth doing it once. Becuz it just gets everywhere, especially in your car which sucks and hard to clean out. You body stays colored for days too. Some look like smurfs becuz it all gets mixed into that final color.
I couldn't fathom all that sand in your RV. You've basically sacrificed your vehicle and made it unresellable. Just like a Meth Van, unless potential buyer's aren't paying close attention. "Breaking Bad" in my opinion. Jajajaja
@@daixer3156 You are wise in the ways of the playa. Yes, 8 years later and I still have that fine dust in my truck. 🤣👍
@garygolfer3243 awwe thanks. Always great to wake up to a positive comment within a world of haters. Hope you make a hole 🕳 in one today!! ⛳️
Just like so many other comments are saying, BM has lost its counter culture roots and is now full on capitalism and consumerism.
really? Tell me more about how you know this. are you referring to to the sale of ice?
@@barrybrumitt The sale of ice and coffee has nothing to do with it. Maybe you should educate yourself on what’s been happening since Larry Harvey passed.
Reduce the price.
Produce the rice!! 🍚 🌾
What is all the money people spend for tickets used for? Who benefits?
The ticket sales go to many of the projects, food, rentals, like any gathering. It's 8 days long, over 2400 DJ's, 600+ theme camps to visit, non stop till it's over. So ticket prices are actually comparable compared to a 4 hour concert in Vegas. Plus you get to be yourself without hassle, )'(
Plus this event is 7 days long. Compare the ticket price to any other multi day event (usually 3 days) like edc which is about 439 plus price for hotel and food and transportation. Once you get to burning man, there’s no exchange of money (besides ice).
@curtissill1389 yeah until they tell out on the intercoms that whoever drank the purple stuff that it possibly might have 1000 hits of lds and needs to be seen soon unless they want to repent and make it to even with the rest of the Mormon's from South Park. But since only a few African-American took some. Which is really a lie cuz it's a all white event. Then everything is kosher and as they say "let's party on Wayne. Let's party on Garth...!" He they shall!! Shaaaawing!!!
@riorodrigues5240 there not even one damn condom in a country where AIDS is the leading cause of death.
Lord of War
@@curtissill1389it’s a bunch of self absorbed rich people who believe ignoring every wrong and any thing uncomfortable makes the world utopia . This systems does not raise children to be all they can be, it raises children to servants of their flesh .
You want to find spiritual growth ? Why don’t you fast in that desert for 40 days and only drink water .
It’s just hilarious how this crowd makes fun of religion and calls themselves god, but couldn’t make it through the simplest hardships or reality of the real world. Instead they drown it out with drugs and self gratification
How do they charge admission for an event held on public land?
This is literally the case for most of venues..
There is a process to apply for a permit with BLM for hosting a large event on public lands. Ticket sales offset the costs incurred by the hosting organization. If you go on BLM's site, you can see what the requirements are for hosting an event.
By paying millions to the government to rent the property. Duh!
I make 6 figures a year and i really can't see myself paying 1500 just to get in. Not to mention the supplies i would have to purchase. And then you have to actually get there if you don't live nearby. I would put this at at least a 4k trip. So... As much as id love to go to Burning Man i really don't see that happening any time soon. Realistically I'm probably going to use 4k to travel internationally. It's crazy to me that they've raised the price this much. And that this many people can afford it. I guess if you really want something you just make it happen.
I’ve been and it was not worth it to spend this much!
@@MissSissi4I think it’s worth maybe $300 but definitely not $600 I get it you get free food drinks and what not but idk
i wish i could’ve experienced this event before the age of social media, cell phones, and greed took over.
Your existence will be commercialized.
Many don't know of BM principles or the nonprofit that runs it. It’s about creativity & inclusiveness but it does come with a price. After all, creeps & haters must be screened
I heard the weather was beautiful this year
no its not the end. the pandemic effected MANY PEOPle financially. screw this negative report
$650 for a ticket and parking? LOL GTFOOH!
Just say you're poor it's fine
Too commercialized
perhaps you mean the ice sales?
Well now that it's over, I guess it proved you wrong, because it did sell out. Also, just because it rained last year, somehow you think it's over? Look at how many other festivals and concerts get dumped on with rain. Boy somebody looks stupid now!
thankfully there is events like this to help your news channel stay relevant 😆 rained for w days and the first time in years. no big deal
Having spent over two months of my life there over 9 burns, it should be free…
Fr or like $200 at the least that’s not even including what you have to bring like water hygiene stuff food unless you wanna rely off the free stuff crazy that it’s $650
The only downside is the price you have to pay to get in !!! it's ridiculous if you have extra money !!! Also trash along the highway was not cool !!!
Burning man! Anyone see the irony?
I find it ironic that an event about the burning of man is still allowed to continue unfettered. Oh well, I guess that's Nevada for 'ya.
Oh please, it’s ALL about the money honey….if not Nevada, then Burning Man (2) volcano Hawai’ieeee…..😂
Okayyyy Mr. Nick Papagiorgio lol
I know a lot of old men that go to BM to see young women naked because they will never see it without BM.
For the same price of the entrance fee. They could get the whole ride in Las Vegas. Shoot! Just for the parking price they could get a good sloppy joe!! 😮🫨
And Milf's are not there doing the same? Hypocrite.
No, you don’t. What a weird, stupid thing to lie about.
Weather isn’t climate. And it was packed. Propaganda
Friend went, said it was way to commercial, they can get their rip off ticket's lol
Tell me how they described it as being commercial? did they buy a lot of ice? it's not like there's anything else to buy. it's not like anyone is handing out free samples or flyers or advertisements.
Burning man isn’t sold out bc they already “sold out”
f burning man. overpriced consumerist bs.
creeps coming to the dessert paying more than most families spend on groceries. wow so special.
Transfer to Hove Lawns perhaps?
Burning man is like a scam. Pay big fees to play in the sand pit. Drugs not included
😂😂
“Trapped” 😂😂😂 who was trapped? People were leaving every day.
Too expensive. High risk weather.
You lost me at “burning man”
God loves hunger games
Are you sure the planet is warming?? It was a great burn. Weather was perfect this year.
I sure hope so. As a local I could care less for this ecological disaster. I have not met one person that attends this event that is a decent person. They all suck. This cannot end fast enough.
What an absolute waste of time!
WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.
This is so demonic it makes my skin crawl
And yet 70 thousand people showed up in 2024 and had a great time. Wonder why that is? Questions Questions!
that’s crazy I mean the price is insane if 70k ppl spent $650 at least the owners or wtv would’ve made 45 million in a week
@Brando-Nk13 where did you learn math?
The planet is burning.
Your mama last night to
Buy the dip
Wasn’t there a man that walked into the fire
Huge carbon footprint.
Rain is good.
Thou Shall Not Tempt The Lord !
He is warning those who desire licentiousness instead of holiness . You reap what you sow .
You may have tied your shoes this morning , but the undertaker could untie them tonight , are you ready to meet your Maker ?
Repent before it's too late .
If you die in your sin , which means not turning from your sin , you will perish eternally .
If You die "In Christ" , which means trusting in Him only , you will be with Him Eternally .
God is merciful , and it's His Love that you need . He demonstrated His Love to us , by sending His One and Only Son to die for our sins . Please Repent , trust Jesus Christ .
Don't be silly. They're just gonna move it.
This doesn't make any difference
Nope. Happy Burn Night!
NEVA !!!!!
In a word, no.
Hypocrites!!
dont come back!!!! ty
You have to pay to get in? Pfff
Or could it be that everyone there is a total douche and that’s not appealing. I love festivals and for a long time I really wanted to go to burning man. Now days and friends that go come back and tell me it’s full of douche bags and they wouldn’t go back. Word of mouth!! The doesn’t put me off at all. Hearing the people are horrible puts me off.
Promoters never cease to make money off of stupid people making fools of themselves. Now that's entertainment. That area is no joke. Not long ago, me, mine and a dog had to be rescued by local police after our stupidity. Stranded for two nights three days, with cooler water and other barely there resources.
Soooo, "Me, myself, and Irene?" (dog's name)
@@daixer3156 Dang, I'm sorry you wasted your time reading my comment. Hopefully someone smarter will heed my condensed warning.. "Bruce"
@Snapperhead-e4z ohh on the contrary. I'm not a "bruce" type. I'm a breastfeeding type. How could you totally miss that when I clearly stated the movie word for word? Sounds like you're living in your own little world afraid of the water and what's beyond the ocean.
@@daixer3156 Bruce is the name of my dog, dippy doo da. Good bye
@@daixer3156 weird coincidence, yep.
Is this Glastonbury for the Hunger Games Capitol?
May the odds never be in their favor 🙏 🤭 🖖
Ah well. Nothing lasts forever. Something else will take its place probably.
As the planet warms....
Should we be expecting a less brainwashed narrative!?
Global warminh yea right
It's just a bunch of weirdos getting together to celebrate themselves you couldn't pay me to go just freaks messing up the desert
Egh, a little bit of storm seeding and that's it. Say goodbye to all the wine drinking hippies and wanna be rave kids.
It's the end
Looks like a Dionysian rave now to me.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
What part of "burn your ego" is misunderstood? They are celebrating Dionysus. Insanity included. 😢
Just like an HOA, apparently people like micro-managing fascism, and with the egos still intact, everything, even with humble beginnings , will turn out the same in the end.
Thank you for sharing that name. I looked it up and it shared his other alias which was Bacchus. A name that a hwy in my state is named after him. Which I find it weird but makes sense for the name of that hwy. Becuz when saying it out loud, it sounds like "Back Us." And not "Bacchus!"
AHH this generation.....
Ugh, how I truly dislike your stupid clickbait “media” channel, no truth just complete lies and propaganda so people click, someone tell me a new name for this “journalism”
C4 wef trollz
burning man is cringe and always has been
It's beyond cringe actually. If you don't know what I mean, ask me.
