Comment on Trustafarians: When the Rich Pretend to be Poor

Had a real waking up moment last week leaving one of my favorite venues seeing the band Chat Pile in a crowd of crusty, unwashed, punks, only to look at the parking lot after the show and see it filled with current model year Teslas, Mercedes, etc.

To be fair, there are also cases especially for older bands where their fanbase who were teens and young adults during their prime are now 40-50 year olds with families and are better off financially than they were back then.

  How anyone can financially improve right now is beyond me

    They can’t. Gen X was the last generation that got wealthier with age and it’s gotten progressively worse for every subsequent generation.

    They can it’s called getting a better job. There are tons of jobs out there making 100k a year in fields from computers to plumbing.

  I mean give the price of tickets. I have went to like 3 concerts (paid for rock ones) in my lifetime and never to a festival that had admission.

Love Chat Pile! Actually saw them on Saturday night in Chattanooga, on their new tour with Portrayal of Guilt. They always put on a fantastic show.

  They’re phenomenal live, I’ve seen them twice in Asheville now and considered driving down to the Chattanooga show haha. Did he do the movie trivia bit with your crowd?
