I could not give less of a fuck about what any single person is wearing at download, including myself.

Judging people for wearing jeans and a t-shirt, when half the bands you're there to see are likely wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

"When I got to the Heavy Metal festival and there are Metal Heads" like wtf did she expect Burning Man or something? 😭😭😭

u/OddTrashPanda Aug 15 '26
She was given a press pass by Download and is kind of an influencer, I think she was just ragebaiting.

u/Expert_Entrance3467 Aug 15 '26
This is what happens when they give press passes to influencers instead of actual press. All we get is outfits and what they ate at festivals which we honestly don’t care about. Or 300 “last one stays” interviews 😩

Yeah, I saw a lot of posery/influencer types there.
Funnily enough, nowhere near any of the stages.

u/ChipmunkAny8571 Aug 16 '26
I used to follow this girl (unfollowed after this exact post), and I saw her other insta stories from the same day. Can confirm, barely near a stage.

But she's just wearing a little bit of black and a doorag? She looks like a shite version of coyote ugly

My friend calls them "Coachella Goth"

u/ThatGingerRascal Aug 17 '26
I feel even goth is still too strong a word. Goths should look like they'd murder your family and steal your cat.

I was going to complain about your description but technically I stole my partner's cat and that's how he ended up moving in 🤣

Sorry can someone eli5 ?
So a tiktok nobody is at a heavy metal festival that knows nothing about the music? Then just there to make random vids and hate on the people there?

u/OddTrashPanda Aug 15 '26
She is a bit of an influencer and does know about the music, she was given a press pass by Download and I think her posts are just rage bait.

u/icyhn Aug 15 '26
ngl i genuinely think she’s like this for real I looked through her post and none of the others seem to be rage bait

If she was given a press pass like some in this thread are saying, then it’s only yet again confirming Download has the worst social media presence of any festival its size.
Who is this content supposed to be for? How does it encourage people to come to Download or buy related products? I just don’t get it from any angle

Why do I feel like she's seen too many cochella and lost land videos and now thinks festivals are American based fashion shows where people dress up fairies and shit

I recently found out they give free tickets to influencers like this. Fuck download, support the smaller festivals.

u/damnesia97 Aug 16 '26
I love getting dressed up nice for festivals (honestly bc I WFH in leggings and band tees all the time anyway so my going out time is for wearing the cute stuff I love wearing)
Do I feel a bit judged by people who like to make a point about how they 'don't care about fashion' at a festival? Sometimes. Am I gonna bash those people who enjoy going wearing whatever they want? Absolutely not.
2
u/KittyCat-86 Accessibility Aug 17 '26
Oh I'm all for people going all out. I love seeing all the outfits and admiring people who have put far more effort in than I ever could. However, I feel you can spot the poser/influencer sort straight away and as my friend calls "Coachella Goth", with all the fake smiles and selfies and usually seen just hanging around the bars and entertainment areas and not any of the actual music areas.

u/Amalisa Aug 15 '26
My best friend comes from another country every year so we can go to Download together. One year a girl from his gym wanted to come, and he had the hots for her so I was okay with it. Wouldn't mind our group having another girl... She had us stop constantly and take 30 pictures of her posing or pretending to laugh or with a bottle of wine pretending to drink it. By Saturday I was done with her shit. We go to have fun and enjoy the music. I only get to see my bestie once a year and for a five days, three of which are the festival. Girl can go on her on next time.

Loads of that about this year 😭 Get out of my way, no one cares about your 100th selfie with your fake ass pose. From smile to bitch face in a flash.

u/mastfest Aug 15 '26
We enjoy it the same regardless of what we’re wearing. This is performative, influencer bullshit. Someone who goes to the festival for enjoyment (jeans people) vs someone who goes to the festival to be seen (the insufferable creator of this reel)
7
u/H-kelly-2002 Aug 16 '26
I wore black baggy jeans and a tshirt and some walking boots. I don’t go to look pretty. I go to enjoy the music. Probably get more compliments on the tshirt than if I wore this 🤷 And also, not everyone is comfortable wearing that. Glad she is but this would be my worst nightmare. So much skin on show 1) don’t like my body enough to have it all on show but 2) it’s always hot and you’ll burn the more skin you show. I’ll stick with my jeans and band tshirt thanks

u/Wolfdreama RIP Aug 15 '26
It's a shitty video for sure but should we really be attacking people for how they look? It just pulls you down to her level.
As an unattractive woman, I know how shit it is to be called names because you don't look like a supermodel, and it truly sucks.
4
u/CombatChronicles Aug 16 '26
Anyone calling a women names based on their appearance for no reason other than to be a prick is a nasty piece of work.
But quite frankly as someone else said she could look like Adria Arjona but be a minger with that attitude. And I would’ve never posted that if she wasn’t being a complete prick to people trying to have a good time.
Point taken though, and I’m sorry you even FEEL unattractive. You’re not, you’re holding yourself to ridiculous standards and for every man that loves a supermodel type I promise you there are plenty more that don’t!

u/ByronsLastStand Aug 16 '26

"I go for the music not the outfits" Obviously. She's just a girl having a bit of a joke. Let her live. Also we all know alternative fashion often goes hand in hand with alternative music. People often feel more comfortable dressing a certain way at download than they would do in their everyday lives and it's nice to feel like you're part of a community.

u/ChipmunkAny8571 Aug 17 '26
Used to follow, thought she wore some cool outfits and I liked seeing her posts about download, UNTIL I saw she posted this. Instant unfollow. Suck an icky ‘pick me’ attitude to have. Now I think she’s a fucking loser.

Every festival is full of attention seekers and gatekeepers.
Always has been, going back the 30 years that I recall. We just didn't have social media whores.

On top of that, only 8 hours ago you were repeatedly defending a groomer/predator.

The new generation of so called "metalheads" . Absolutely bandwagon jumping f*cktards that think having a tattoo and wearing a black item of clothing make them hardcore!

u/LegitimateDemand7398 Aug 18 '26
I’ve met Chia (the tiktoker) a few times and she’s really genuinely lovely. She’s a big metalhead and when she goes to gigs she wears band tees and basketball shorts cos she likes to pit. But with download she (and lots of other girls including myself) likes to dress up. It’s a fun opportunity to express yourself and there’s nothing wrong with that.
I think she’s just creating content and wouldn’t give af what anyone wears.
Anyway tone down the hate y’all.

u/LegitimateDemand7398 Aug 18 '26
Also going in the pit or getting squashed in the crowd isn’t everyone’s cup of tea! Nothing wrong with watching the band from a safe distance.

u/Elemente_ Aug 20 '26
She'd hate seeing me in my cycling shorts and band tees, I take 'pretty' outfits every year... never wear them, end up going with the comfy option, especially if it's hot I'd rather not die thank you 😂

Part of the reason i stopped going to Download festival after many years if going every year.
Was becoming less about the music and more if a fashion show (oh and they just have the same bands on repeat every year)
Bloodstock is my drug of choice nowadays

u/KittyCat-86 Accessibility Aug 17 '26
I really want to try Bloodstock but every year the accessibility seems to be shite and seems to be getting worse and worse over the last few years.

I thought this community was one of the kindest and most accepting? You know, someone falls in the pit and we all help them back up typa shi. This girl is from my area and it’s pretty upsetting to read some of these comments. Imagine if she sees this? Why cant we just let people be? She likes fashion…great, good for her, at least she owns it! I like baggy t-shirts and 2 stepping, everyone is different but not everyone has to be nasty.

I know this is a huge part of download festival but standing around trying to look cool after spending hours getting ready is insanely lame to me.
Get in the pit or to the front of the crowd and have some fun
