Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man?

Okay, what makes it frivolous now?

Alcohol is common now, the art is ignored by a lot of people, people just aren’t as generally sociable. From what I can see, it’s morphed into something that’s less about sharing and showing art, into showing off and partying. I am not a habitual burner, so leaning on stories and photos from friends, and maybe the prior years were just off years, and I missed the year that brought it back to its roots… but somehow I doubt it.

Ugh, yeah, that sounds plenty disappointing. :S
