Show transcript
00:00
Coachella is not the same anymore.
00:02
This was back in 2012 when I went,
00:04
look how happy we were.
00:06
It was all about the fucking music.
00:08
No one gave a shit about what you wore.
00:10
No one gave a shit about who was there.
00:13
Like like, dude,
00:15
it was so different.
00:16
Like, I mean,
00:17
it's my first year pulling up this year.
00:19
So I don't know how it was before,
00:20
but I'm, I'm there for different reasons.
00:23
Could care less about the shows and the DJ S,
00:26
I'm there to tax the rich.
00:28
Like I found out how much,
00:29
how much people actually paid to like move for,
00:33
for like two miles,
00:34
like $400. You're driving people around,
00:37
I'll drive anybody around,
00:39
I'll drive you your cooler,
00:40
your mom, your grandma,
00:42
like your luggage, whatever you need to get moved.
00:45
But trust you will get taxed.
00:46
So there you're there to make money.
00:48
I'm there to tax the rich.
00:50
Well, I mean,
00:51
I think that's what influencers go for to make money,
00:54
you know, like it's like they're making money.
00:56
Like that's what they're calling it the influencer Olympics now because nothing
01:00
but influencers go nowadays.
01:01
And I heard through the grapevine that some influencers they say they're
01:07
at Coachella and they go and they're not really at the festival
01:11
It's just kind of all a facade.
01:13
Yeah, it's all a facade for like the content and everything
01:16
That's what I heard on tiktok.
01:18
But I mean, they're calling it the influencer Olympics.
01:20
Now, these pictures look totally different than the ones I'm seeing
01:23
on IG right now.
01:24
Look how normal you guys don't give it.
01:26
Ain't nobody there wearing $1000 outfit.
01:29
The crown, the flower crown.
01:32
You guys look like you guys showered now.
01:34
It looks like like some of these outfits I'm like you look
01:37
like you smell. What?
01:39
Well, that's the thing.
01:39
No one give a fuck about what the word.
01:41
Look at the guy in the back,
01:42
bounce out and everything.
01:43
He's just there for the music.
01:45
Like everyone look at that guy just fucking stretching out like it's
01:49
it's different nowadays.
01:51
But yeah, I mean,
01:53
yeah, it's not the same.
01:55
I miss it. Oh Coachella come back.
