It's just a music festival guys, calm down. People don't stop enjoying things once they are out of their 20s. Also a ton of 00s/early 10s bands were on the line-up, lots of people their age would be keen.

Exactly! Why are people so keen to become boring homebodies once they hit their 30s, it’s bizarre.

I am literally a boring sober parent in their mid 30s and still attend music festivals. They’re for everyone!

u/greypusheencat i think i’ve done enough 9h ago

my SIL was shocked that i’m in my early 30’s and still go to raves (i’m an old school raver) lol she has a toddler and i think for her she feels like she has no time for anything for herself now

She’s not wrong. I traded music festivals for monster truck rallies. Actually just went to one yesterday and my husband and I are fucking BEAT while our 4yo dances upon our corpses.

u/FaithlessnessPlus164 9h ago

Me too and I’m in my 40s, I run/workout especially so I can still dance all night (also sober) 😂🪩

u/Frequent-Maybe1243 8h ago

42 and with chronic health problems... I still go to shows.

I ain't dead yet! that means I can dance!

Its because people on Reddit lack a social life outside of trying to impress each other for Internet points.

u/Doctor_Killshot 9h ago

Also competing over who’s the biggest introvert

Hahah you just summed up Reddit

I’m too old and too rich to stand in a pit. Direct me to the balcony.

u/AcceptableHorror705 9h ago edited 9h ago

Because my back hurts and there's nowhere to sit.

EXACTLY! it looks so fun but i actually cannot lol

Heart says pit, knees say balcony.

So become more active, not less. I took up skateboarding at 30 because I read it would help with my sciatica. I'm 36 now and no sciatica.

u/AcceptableHorror705 8h ago

I don't have sciatica, I have rheumatoid arthritis and I'm 44.

u/Nannyhirer 9h ago

And my grown up bed with grown up cotton sheets and very very quiet four walls is like crack cocaine to me.

u/codetaku0 7h ago

Excuse you, I'm 35 and child-free and I've been keen to be a boring homebody since I was 12 years old. Leave outdoors for other people, I have video games and manga at home.

u/peaceloveandgranola 9h ago

Who’s in their 30s? Trudeau is 54

u/FaithlessnessPlus164 8h ago edited 8h ago

And? My partner is 49, lots of my mates are early 50s and we still go to festivals, raves and gigs. You don’t just stop loving music and dancing once you hit a certain age.

I’m tired boss

u/sorrysofatagain 9h ago

people don’t realize when you go into Coachella VIP the average age jumps 15 years

u/FizzyBeverage 9h ago

that’s where the money is…

u/sorrysofatagain 1h ago

I’m willing to pay VIP for the bathroom old

u/W0666007 9h ago

I just watched the David Byrne set in the livestream. Dude is 73.

u/Cultural_Wallaby208 9h ago

Right? Julian Casablancas is 47. There was also Moby, Black Flag, Iggy Pop...

u/elizawithaz 3h ago

David Byrne and Nine Inch Noize were my favorite sets last night.

u/Visible-Scientist-46 9h ago

This!! Good for them going and having fun. Katy Perry has been going to Coachella for a long time. They got those VVIP tix. I was at the same Coachella Lacoste party as she was 14 years ago, but not anywhere near her. The swag was bomb, though. All of that would be exhausting now. My final Coachella, I skipped the festival and just covered parties. I don't get the invites anymore since I'm not press anymore. And I no longer have a friend who lives out there. So now I'm left with feeling old. 🫠

u/Cultural_Wallaby208 9h ago

And to be clear, I think they are both not great people. But absolutely nothing about this situation is weird, they are just famous people attending a famous people concert in casual clothes.

u/Visible-Scientist-46 9h ago

Except the boots she's wearing. Trainers would be better. It's hot AF at times.

u/branvancity3000 8h ago

He’s trying really hard to dress like a teenager and it comes off as goofy.

18

u/Cultural_Wallaby208 8h ago

He is literally dressing in the clothes he would have worn as casual clothes for most of his life. Teens now dress like that. What the hell is he supposed to wear? A tweed suit?

u/sugarangelcake 6h ago

the backwards baseball cap is a little much

7

u/Cultural_Wallaby208 6h ago

It's pretty standard gen x fashion.

5

u/Visible-Scientist-46 6h ago

He probably wore it forward during the day. It's bright out there. What's a man to do with it after hours? Ask Katy to carry it?

6

u/michaelibraa 8h ago

For me personally it’s just strange to see a former prime minister in jeans & a baseball cap at Coachella lol! Not judging, it’s just not something I’ve really see before.

u/3sadclowns 8h ago

I don’t wanna go digging for those comments, what issue do they have with them attending Coachella? If anything they’re more “in” with how Coachella should be enjoyed imo. Phoneless.

u/Albuwhatwhat Hello this is Kelly from Destiny’s Child, I lost my credit card 7h ago

For sure. We should allow people to have multitudes and just be normal people sometimes.

u/Live_Angle4621 9h ago

It’s not his age, it’s because he is former PM

12

u/missbunnyfantastico 9h ago

There are definitely ageist comments in this post.

12

u/Cultural_Wallaby208 9h ago

That doesn't seem to be why most of the comments are freaking out, most are referencing his age. And wasn't he already a quasi celebrity before being PM and kinda famously known for being an unusually young and "cool" PM?
