The Disappointment of Woodstock 99
Woodstock 99 deviated significantly from the ideals of its predecessors, marking a stark contrast to the original festival's themes of peace and love. The episode highlights that, unlike the communal spirit of the earlier Woodstock events, this iteration was marred by violence, sexual assault, and numerous reports of misconduct. The festival, designed in a commercialized way, added to the chaos as it took place during an extremely hot weekend, resulting in an environment rife with frustration and anger among attendees. This backdrop of discontent set the stage for the tragic events that unfolded, painting a picture of a festival that had lost its way.
