DO FESTIVALS CATERING FOR DIFFERENT MUSICAL GENRES OFFER DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES?

There are different items/objectives/attitudes/behaviours associated with different genres. For example, associated with rock, is long hair, tattoos piercings, and possibly fat middle aged men. (stereotypically) However a festival like Latitude may serve for 'indie' people, stereotypically, girls with highwaisted shorts, crop tops, denim jackets, parka coats etc.

In the grand scheme of things I don't think the festival experience differs that much between a variety of festivals.
However looking at aspects more closely, this could mean, a different experience in terms of what the festival has to offer. For example, Latitude offers, music, poetry, dance, literature, children's areas, cabaret and more! Whereas a festival like Reading of Download only really offers the musical experience.
In terms of personal experiences, (e.g. drug taking) different drugs give different experiences as a whole, so depending what kind of things you are into, you could have a huge variety of experiences.
