Coachella is just Burning Man for millennial social media kids

It's burning man for millennial social media kids because... I look on Instagram and it's like all these very attractive young ladies like, oh, can't wait for Coachella. And I'm just thinking, you're not a music festival person. You're not going to go tent for three days and live in shit.

This is a common critique of Coachella's influencer-heavy culture.

The Arthur the Aardvark meme will be dead by the end of the weekend

Arthur the Aardvark memes. People can't get enough Arthur. ... [Burn rate] I don't think it makes it past the weekend. ... It's a strong sell. Get your Arthur's in tomorrow.

The Arthur meme, particularly the 'fist' image, persisted for months and is still used occasionally today; it definitely lasted past that single weekend in July 2016.

Album releases should go back to Tuesdays

Whatever happened in the good old days where you could, like, everybody released their albums on Tuesday. You could prepare yourself mentally, financially, save up enough money where you could go to Best Buy and buy the album on Tuesday. It was a handshake agreement, and it was much better.

This is a subjective preference for music industry logistics.

Someone is going to die from the table-jumping trend

No, somebody's already died. We just have—they just didn't look about it. They deleted the video. So it never got out. [Later] But we all know someone's going to die.

While many injuries have occurred, verifying a specific death directly attributed to the 'table jump' trend is difficult without specific news reports.

Coachella is just Burning Man for millennial social media kids

Coachella... It's gotten overrun, like completely blown out by mainstream people. It's burning man for millennial social media kids... where all the teens wear stupid sunglasses and feathers in their hair.

This has become the consensus view of Coachella in the years following.

The 'suh dude' trend will last until the end of the school year

I got to say at least until the end of the school year because it's already second semester and usually that won't wear off until the end.

The 'suh dude' meme peaked in early 2016 and definitely remained popular through that graduation cycle.
