This is like a broader version of keeping up with the joneses.

  A bit of a hot take but I definitely think Facebook/social media factors into this more than we realize. Colleges regularly have major artists perform “Spring Weekend” concerts and being top-tier headline comedians to perform. That costs a ton of money and it just wasn’t happening in the 90s. Or maybe it was? And no one else knew about it...

    It's kinda great though, we got John Mulaney and Chvrches -- loved them both. I mean the uni is like the second or third largest concert venue in the area so it's not like it's a huge departure.

I actually got a notification last year an artist was playing in a city near me so I went and what I didn’t realize was that it was actually a university event that happened to also be open to the public.
