You made that conclusion from that?

Go to almost any music festival, especially ones people love to hate on, and you will find lean young people from cities

Your conclusion can only be coincidentally accurate. Hot trendy folks go to music festivals. The BMI of whats considered hot has only gotten thinner since the 1960s.

Music festivals require a lot of walking, dancing, etc. which actually contributes a significant portion of daily activity. So I would actually conclude that being physically active is part of being a hot trendy person. There are tons of people who travel to festivals as a lifestyle.

right, so the point is that you can't look at photos from a music festival from the 1960s or 2019s to understand what society looks like

OP's whole point is that everyone must have been lean and fit just because they were in a 50 year old documentary - about a music festival.
