{{tropelist|The Woodstock Festival provides examples of:}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Yes, even the original Woodstock had an incident of this: Abbie Hoffman got booted off the stage by (and received a [[Precision F-Strike]] from) Pete Townshend for walking on during [[The Who]]'s set.
* [[Borscht Belt]]: Bethel, New York, the location of the festival, is right smack in the middle of the Borscht Belt, ironically enough.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Woodstock 1999 compared to the Original Woodstock.
* [[Erudite Stoner]]: Quite a few show up in the crew.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: The organizers billed the festival as an "Aquarian Exposition" simply to take advantage of the popularity of ''[[Hair (theatre)|Hair]]'', which was on Broadway at the time, and its hit opening number "Aquarius".
* [[The Movie]]: Made from footage captured during the three days, ''[[Woodstock (film)|Woodstock]]'' was [[Warner Bros]]' biggest hit in 1970.
* [[New Age Retro Hippie]]: Yeah, there were a few who went.
* [[Performance Anxiety]]: During their set, Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills & Nash admitted to the audience that it was only the second time that the group had ever performed in front of other people, and they were, quote, "scared shitless".
* [[The Sixties]]: Some of the most noted events and it really sums up the spirit of the decade.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Compare the original Woodstock to the 1999 version, and you should have a grasp of the hippie idealism of [[The Sixties]] versus the [[Grunge]] cynicism of [[The Nineties]].
