Of course the whole world has heard of the disaster at Astroworld festival in which 8 young people ranging from ages 14 to about 28 years of age were trampled to death. What the outrage has been about is not only the staff’s unwillingness to stop the show as numerous youths in the crowd pleaded with them that “There were dead people” in the crowd as well as the performer at the time (even when the crowd attempted to hail them down yelling “Stop, Help!”) according to surfaced videos of concert goers in vain attempts to end the show — only for it to continue even with an ambulance and medics present. Not only that but the silence of the venue as well as the acts that followed thus offering no words of condolences for the deaths, many of them children. Matter of fact many acts were throwing parties and such after the fact when everyone was well aware what had occurred. This is a cautionary eye opening tale especially for young people. As written on instagram, starstruck tech crews and production crews aside, the acts reside in a world where those around them are gunned down or die of drug overdoses everyday. Human life frequently doesn’t mean anything because they’re so numb to it honestly. It seems a great deal of young people if not the public are opening their eyes to the fact that world and those in it are not what they deemed it to be. The truth is many of them are among the most shallow, self interested, self absorbed beings ever. The issue is larger than ,Travis Scott, it’s about the element that it is, how human life is so disposable if not replaceable. It’s a shallow world full of frequently self idolizing deceived people most often that believe their own hype. Honestly a lot of them do not care all that much if they have supporters or not. A lot of them treat supporters and fans like trash once they become famous. A great deal of them the only 2 or 3 things they really care about are Money, Fame, and egotistical demonic self idolization Jezebels… that’s it bottom line. Do not put very flawed individuals on a pedestal or anyone on a pedestal and I think that is what people have gathered from this incident. The discussion isn’t about Travis Scott, Drake, or anyone else it’s the mentality and world that it is. Why do people think so many die as a result of violence, drugs, alcohol, etc etc? It’s a cesspool realm.

The footage of the young man that was relaying what occurred was what I was going for to post but couldn’t find the video of just that. I’m not saying the guy is demonic possessed, oppressed, or anything of the sort as I do not know him but it’s the entire atmosphere of that element that breeds things like this… as well as the lack of anything from anyone involved.
