Maybe no one else cares, but I think there is such a crazy dichotomy between these two pieces of media.
HBOs Woodstock 99 - a traditional documentary. The conceit is that this huge thing was done a long thing ago with no planning, but it was great. So they tried to do it again with no planning. "The failure was idealism and a lack of planning."
Netflix's Trainwreck - as far as I can tell, the conceit is twofold: "hey, we've all been to festivals!" and "hey, we've all seen that doc about Fyre, right? That same thing totally happened in just as crazy of a way before you were born. It was totally just as crazy!" The crowd even shouted for Sheryl Crow to show her tits! In 1999! At a concert!
I'm open to arguments, but darn it seems like the whole first episode of the Netflix version is interviews with people saying "dude I was so high in 99!"
