And yeah every September a portion of my country takes up a chunk of a lot of cities for a weekend to get drunk because Germany. Every March they do it because Ireland. Every June because gay. That adds to cultural vibrancy and in its absence communities can become unpleasantly sterile.

People should play their rap, but remember some of their neighbors are sleeping. Community festivals, and night gatherings are beautiful and wonderful expressions of culture. And also I swear to the gods some of us work really early in the morning.

I miss the vibrancy of places that had such things like my college dorms. But I don’t miss trying to sleep through it when people got too loud.

I think it would be fine if it was that one night a year that your local city has their local festival but it is different if every other event has a local copy all year around.
