A festival is a music event, usually held outdoors and attended by thousands of music fans. Multiply artists play on usually multiple stages and on some occasions, these festivals last multiple days.
Music fan 1: Belgian festivals are always the greatest..
Music fan 2: Yeah I know, the bands are always so rad... I love it.
Music fan 3: Would you guys please shut up?! I'm trying to enjoy the atmosphere here!!
A festival is an event, usually attended by the unwashed masses and hippies.
Mainly a festival serves as excuse for crappy rock bands like Athlete and that utter prick Pete Doherty to make a lot of money for doing fuck all.
It is compulsory not to wash for one week before attending a festival. And hippies must always have a grimy joint pressed between their filthy, yellowed fingers.
Hippy: I'm going to a festival this weekend.
Me: I trust you have not washed recently then.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
