I think what changed is that gate-keeper, hyper-promoted acts don't hook as much of the youth as they once did.

We have this one local music festival that's made up of hundreds of acts playing in dozens of small venues. The audience is huge but it's dispersed over 10 city blocks so you don't really get that crushing mob feel.
