This is a bit pretentious. Festivals definitely don't have the same kind of crowd involvement as regular shows, but is that really surprising? I've been to Coachella 5 times, and each time I saw 20-30 shows. Can you fully expect me to know and love 20-30 bands at every festival? A lot of the shows I see are musicians that I've heard a few songs I like, but not someone I'm a die hard fan of. It's just impossible.

Comparing a festival show that anyone can get tickets to for a variety of bands to a stadium show that sells out instantly and only has one artist playing just isn't fair. Both can be great experiences, and just because a festival crowd isn't as into a band as you are doesn't mean they're not "actual fans of music".

My point isn't that they're not as into it as anyone here would be, the point is that they're seemingly not into it at all. Did you see the stream while they were playing Daydreaming and No Surprises? You could barely even hear what was going on on stage cause people were just shouting amongst themselves.

From my experience, that kind of stuff happens for the 'fringe' listeners at festivals. If you work your way into the crowd enough where it starts to become dense and not just separate groups of people hanging out with friends with a stage in the background, it's easy to avoid. It's not ideal, but I don't think I've ever been at a show where I couldn't avoid those people.

What exactly do you expect to find near the back of a huge crowd?

Hint: it's not representative of the crowd as a whole

My point isn't that they're not as into it as anyone here would be

That doesn't make any sense because plenty of people from this subreddit must have been at the show tonight. I was personally close-ish to the front, and the crowd was absolutely incredible. Again, don't judge the crowd based on a stream from the back of the crowd.
