The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Keep in mind NIN in 2022 doesn't have the leading act draw they had in 2000, and that isn't the same as say 1990.

We need metrics that include their popularity/ticket sales, etc.

I paid $100 a ticket in 1985 for a stadium sellout band at the time. Ten years before my older siblings paid $40 for the same band.

This was the concert they played for their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It also included past members of the band. It was a very in-demand show and not a 'headlining at the county fair/local casino' show.
