We’re like, so enlightened right now
There was a time when music festivals were all about being sweaty, smelly and caked in mud. You could abandon the make-up for a weekend, survive off baby wipes and some lip balm and dance around in your wellies to all your favourite bands.
Then celebs got in on the action – the types who before wouldn’t have been caught dead within an acre of a portaloo, or pitching a tent. But hey, when there’s social media and VIP areas, it's a pretty different ballgame.
And with the influx of celebs, came a batch of clichés that we see popping up every time it's festival season. And for some reason, Coachella is the cliché leader.
Here are some of our favourites...

Oh, would you look at how pretty we are
Unless your festival selfie looks like messy-haired, dirty-fingernailed, sunburnt filth, we don’t believe you were there.
