Glastonbury slightly tragic after a certain age

[monkeytimesthree]

That's it.

YANBU.

Don't be ridiculous. I bet you are also of the 'Women over 40 should not have long hair' brigade too. If you enjoy something then age doesn't come into it

Don't be so ridiculous! What exactly is wrong with people(of any age) wanting to enjoy live music and have fun?

What age is too old? Genuine question. I'm hoping to go next year, never been a proper music festival, I'm going to be nearly 32...is that too old?

I’d like to say I agree, to hide my jealousy that some of my friends are there having the time of their lives.

Sod that.

Totaly unreasonable

All people over [insert age you think is old] should just go to the garden centre at the weekend for entertainment??

YABU. Totally unreasonable.

You’re never too old or too young for a festival.

Glastonbury isn’t just the bit you see onTV, it’s huge, with different areas, children’s areas, “hippy” areas. You can face paint, drink yourself into obscurity, learn Reiki, meet a Woad, dance at the main stage or sit in the sun at the back.

I assume you’ve never been OP?

YABVU.

HTH.

What age?

1 to 101 !!!

I think it's far more tragic to be so judgemental about how people enjoy themselves.

Kylie is playing there this weekend and she's 50. Is she tragic?

Actually I think she is. Botoxed up to the nines @Sakura7

Think it's a bit seeing mums on tour pretending to be down with the kids. Makes me cringe.

Nope, I think that's bollox.
I would love to go.
I quite often go out clubbing, to festivals and to concerts. I do it because I enjoy it. What's tragic about that?

Tragic no matter what your age.

I cannot think of anything worse

Tragic at any age, performing or watching.
Used to be good about 40 years ago, just commercialised multi national companies now.

We used to get in through a hole in a fence that was only short, then wander through the field, nobody bothered whether you'd paid or not.
Sounds totally rubbish now and I'm sure the atmosphere is just as shit.

Sad outlook to have, OP. All types of music can appeal to people of different ages.

Think it's a bit seeing mums on tour pretending to be down with the kids. Makes me cringe.

Just Mums? Who says that they're trying to be down with the kids? Perhaps they're just enjoying live music and having fun.

Have you ever thought that they are just having fun rather than being 'down with the kids". I would rather still enjoy live music and be "tragic" than judgemental and potentially staid.

I love Glastonbury as there is something for everyone regardless of age. My friends 70yr old Dad has gone with her to the festival this year. Good for him.

Perhaps they like the music too !
I have teens and like me they like a huge variety of music styles which a festival like Glastonbury really accommodates .

Fuck that.

If you’re jealous of people having a good time, be honest and own it.

Whoops . Yabu
