Woodstock is nigh-worshipped for being the defining hippy and counterculture event.
Except it was designed and run by corporates who learned how to make fat stacks off of hippies. Modern festivals are the end product of that where it is blatantly about taking as much of your money as they can.
Some always were. Others that were founded by people who actually just wanted to have a great time on a festival turned them into temples of capitalism
I was at the second to last Sasquatch and spent a lot of the time ranting about the people that thought a festival was an ideal place to sell someone a Toyota.
Hint: it always was.
