Briefly, a luxury weekend concert experience in the Bahamas turned into a logistical disaster ending with lawsuits and a prison sentence for Millennial entrepreneur, Billy McFarland.
We were struck by two things in the documentary.
First, no one on-screen was likable. These were a bunch of 25-35ish elite, urban Millennials. Life had been handed to them. This beef fed, weight-lifting, gym-rat Gen Xer was horrified by how flabby the men were. The women were all Williamsburg asexuals seemingly going out of their way to be un-fuckable.
We heard lots of up-talking - from the women too.
Second, this entire event was an illusion. Everything was based on creating a perception on twitter. This fell to 'influencers', mostly reality stars, models, and other useless people with no skills. Nothing about the Fyre festival or anyone involved with it was real. When it came to actually putting the festival together, nobody knew what they were doing.
None of these people could actually do anything. They had no skills. We don't think any one of them could so much as change a tire.
What people, what lives, what lies.
