The Problem with Labeling Festivals as “Fyre Festival-Like”
Everyone knows the story about the weekend in the Bahamas that will forever live in infamy
Fyre Festival not only sparked headlines around the world, but also multiple documentaries about the fiasco, exposing the festival for the massive fraud we’ve grown to know it for. It will forever be known as the worst festival ever, for a while at least. Only intentionally can a festival stoop any lower than what Billy McFarland “created”.
Ever since that day, however, we have seen the name “Fyre Festival” come up in headlines, comparing the travesty to another festival. We’re seeing it more often these days and the comparison is the complete opposite of flattering. In the vast majority of these instances, the phrase is an unreasonable and inaccurate attempt to ruin a festival’s reputation. What we’re seeing is that festival goers will use the slur at the drop of a hat if inconvenienced the slightest. That’s a problem, and if you were at Governors Ball in New York this weekend or know someone on social media who was, chances are you couldn’t avoid hearing it Sunday and today.
