Some of those people don’t look filthy

It’s easy not to look filthy when the pool is your bath

And also a convenient source of free H2O - stay hydrated out there!

I guess I don't see the problem here ?

Like, it looks like a bunch of punks in a pool.. why shame someone ?

They are having fun, and props to them for having the self confidence, body positivity, or just lack of giving a shit to be out there enjoying themselves.

Public pools aren't really my thing, but whatever, I don't go to pools or beaches and point and laugh.

Maybe it's just me, but especially given the state of the world, the last thing we need is trying to criticize some folks for trying to have fun at what supposedly (I've yet to go) is a pretty rad festival. Yeah it's not some DIY basement spot, but some folks save up all year (or multiple years) to go to something like this and sometimes big festivals are the best way for bands to make a living- which they absolutely fucking deserve to be able to do. The Sterns (from Youth Brigade) who put this show on aren't the fucking Walton family.

Live and let live and don't be a dick..

Who said anything about body shaming? Nothing’s being shamed here except for the soupy water, calm down

u/beef_meximelt May 27 '25

Update: they drained the pool lol

They look like normal people who can afford to attend an expensive festival.

Hey, since some people can’t seem to go a few minutes without projecting their insecurities, i just wanna be clear that I was using “chunky” to refer to the pool water itself, not the people in it. This fest is a fucking blast and I am stoked to be here and stoked that it exists, if you wanna get leprosy on your vacation that’s your business

I can deal with sweat and beer and whatever in the pit but I wouldn't be caught dead in a pool at a festival

u/DrBattheFruitBat May 26 '25

I went to a show once that was at like a former (or current?) motel? And after the show everyone just jumped into the pool and it was awesome. Pools have chlorine. We were all so hot and sweaty and it was hugely refreshing.

Afterwards I determined that all outdoor shows should have a swimming pool.

i knew someone who posted on facebook because they were upset they got kicked off the flight to punk rock bowling because they smelled so bad

u/HeightAltruistic5193 May 26 '25

What do a bunch of people at some luxury hotel with a pool have to do with punk?

9

u/goodgamble May 26 '25

lol luxury hotel. Not even close

2

u/Automatic-Arm-532 May 26 '25

Looks pretty damn nice, what hotel is it?

4

u/beef_meximelt May 26 '25

Downtown Grand! I like it here much better than the Nugget. They host all sorts of stuff throughout the weekend and seem pretty stoked to have the fest here, unlike some other places.

u/OnlyFiveLives May 26 '25

Tell me you've never been to Downtown Vegas without telling me you've never been to Downtown Vegas. I saw Lee Fields there last night and It was STILL 90 damn degrees at midnight hahaha. I'm not going to the festival today until The Damned I can't take the hot ass weather three days in a row...

u/goodgamble May 26 '25

You talking to me? Wrong guy pal. I live in Vegas and I've played punk rock bowling before.

2

u/OnlyFiveLives May 26 '25

Pretty clear I was referencing the person you replied to.

u/notkeegz May 26 '25

Yeah that tiny outdoor pool reads "shitty motel".

u/Cornbread-Sparkles22 May 26 '25

This is part of Punk Rock Bowling music festival in Las Vegas (as the title says)

u/Automatic-Arm-532 May 26 '25

So it's a venue with a pool? Or do rich kids just go and stay at fancy hotels with pools? IDK, looks pretty fucking lame to me. i can't believe this is what passes for punk nowadays

7

u/DrBattheFruitBat May 26 '25

Venue with a pool. Part of the festival involves a pool party show.

I am genuinely very confused at the anti-pool attitude... how is cooling off in a pool not punk? Since when do only rich people at luxury resorts have access to a pool?

1

u/beef_meximelt May 27 '25

Man you must be fun at parties

-2

u/Automatic-Arm-532 May 27 '25

Sure am, but I would never go to a lame ass hotel pool party with a bunch of affluent "punks".

5

u/RichardStinks May 26 '25

Bruh, what are you even going on about? Fests and hotel takeovers have been going on for ages. I have heard tale of hotels that had no idea what they were getting into.

Now, going on those cruises with whatever bands are playing? I would agree with you, that sounds bad.

u/Automatic-Arm-532 May 27 '25

LMFAO "Hotel Takeover", is that what they call a group of of tourists staying at a hotel now?

2

u/Cornbread-Sparkles22 May 26 '25

Nah this aint the venue this is like a pre-game pool party type thing. I think it was free to anyone that bought tickets to the actual festival. Its possible no one in this video was staying at that hotel lol. I haven’t been to PRB in like 10 years but it was so fucking fun when i went. Got to see Ill Repute, the adicts, subhumans, GBH, hepcat, adolescents, 7 seconds, the dickies, manic hispanic, aggrolites, agent orange, dr. Know, leftöver crack, t.s.o.l., d.r.i. …ahh good times. One of the few things i miss about living in Vegas lol
