Oh my God dude, your take is about as flat in two-dimensional as the people you're criticizing. There's literally no nuance to your argument whatsoever.

Starting with previous attempts. You say it like it's plural, but it was just Pearl jam That went to Congress. Also, Pearl jam in the '90s was a very different environment then Taylor Swift in 2022. Pearl jam would have been taken as seriously as Maroon 5 would be at Congress. They attract a little attention, but they didn't have nearly the amount of sway that someone like Taylor Swift would. Even blink-182 is bigger now than Pearl jam at The prime.

People in the '90s also did not have access to the same level of information about Ticketmaster as they do now. Pearl jam's voice wasn't amplified as much because they didn't have a hoard of fans that were following every minute of the debacle. They didn't have TikTok to keep reiterating what a shitshow. And this wasn't exactly a high priority ticket for politicians.

I'm not saying the point of your post is wrong per your argument. You are right in saying that's how things work right now. But it's also very nihilistic to say there's no point in calling for change just because a rock band tried to talk to stuffy old politicians about concerts three decades ago.
