Fyre Festival subreddit accurately reflects the dumpster fire that is the real event
On a scale from dumpster to festival, Fyre Festival is resting solidly at "dumpster fire."
The luxurious weekend getaway/music festival that people shelled out up to $12,000 for was a complete disaster. Pictures and reports from the island in the Bahamas where the festival was supposed to take place are bleak, sad, and just plain confusing.
We suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that Fyre Festival's subreddit is just as big of a mess as the festival is IRL.

It's a strange mixture of real reports from the scene, festival-goers trying to make the most of their situation through Lord of the Fliesjokes, and the bitingly satirical wit that Reddit is known for.
Bottom line: It's a very weird place.
And perhaps in that respect, it's perfectly reflective of what's actually going down on that sad beachfront in the Bahamas. While some festival-goers have been able to leave the island, there are others who are still there. And we have to imagine that those that remain are trying to salvage the situation by turning to dark humor, most referencing Lord of the Flies, The Hunger Games, or Lost.

Interestingly enough, it seems the Fyre Festival subreddit was never a place of happy expectations or excitement. The earliest posts are from 16 days ago and they read like this.

We suppose hindsight is always 20/20. In the future, just play it safe and go to Coachella.
