Ariel Pink showed off his spunky attitude problem at Coachella over the weekend by neither storming off the stage entirely nor singing, but rather hanging out while his band continued to perform. This was quickly anointed Ariel Pink's “meltdown”, as everyone has eagerly been waiting for him to have one.
Unfortunately, this was not a meltdown so much as a dude playing out his drama queen fantasies, or a toddler hiding under the table to show his parents who's boss.

Very good!
