because sxsw isn't about music anymore, it's now an opportunity for upity liberal Cacs and suburban only dated white girl brehs to go and take pics of themselves at sxsw and post it on social media.

Only CACs go to that shyt
Cac the reason hip hop is even there if it wasn’t for Matt .. Erykah Badu would have been discovered
It’s too commercialized now .. I see y he stepped down
The crowd reminds me of some of the indie sets at Pitchfork festival. People spend all this money to either say they went to something or for the "vibe". It's kind of what happens to most festivals when they get too commercialized.

Pretty much everything that was said.But sometimes they mute or lower the crowd reactions so you can hear the artist.

you guys are forgetting this is mainly an industry event.
you really think people who do this as a job are going to be going buck for EVERY set they see over a week? not likely.
plus let's be real for a second, most of these up and comers are NOT good at performing yet, especially rap dudes.

The last few concerts I went to, everyone in the crowd was just standing there holding their phones up recording. It made me wonder will music acts start to adapt what Chappelle does in order to force people back into participating and experiencing the show outside of their device.
