5 Types Of People You See At Concerts

It's more obvious than you think.

Every concert you go to may be different, but you can always identify the people who are truly enjoying themselves versus the people who got dragged to the show. These are the five basic categories you can group concert-goers into no matter what type of concert you're going to.

1. Die hard fan

The most obvious category to identify. Depending on the concert, these people probably already own a t-shirt repping this band. They will most likely be screaming and cheering the loudest during the performance, and they will most definitely be interacting with the band. For example, when the band says "How are we doing tonight, insert city name here?" they will most definitely scream. And most definingly, they will definitely know all the words to the band's songs, even the most unpopular ones.

2. The obviously drunk person

This type of person actually shares many characteristics with the die hard fan. They will be incredibly loud, and they will also interact with the band. But the way in which these things are done is quite different. You can easily identify the drunk person at a concert because they will never sit/stand still, they react at inappropriate times, and frankly they just tend to draw a lot of attention to themselves.

3. Mainstream fans

These are the people that know a band by the songs played on the radio. They definitely don't know all of the songs by the band, but you can bet they will be screaming their hearts out to their top hits. If it's a really popular band, they will most definitely be Snapchatting the concert so all their friends know how cool they are. They'll probably buy a concert shirt to commemorate the event, and then wear it to school the next day.

4. The "awakening" fans

This category is an interesting one. These are people that are going to a concert of a band they've never heard of. Whether they were invited by a friend or they just love to try new things, these people are true concert fans. Assuming they enjoy themselves, they have a sort of "awakening" moment at the concert where they fall in love with the band. The next day they'll listen nonstop to all their music and maybe become a die hard fan, who knows.

5. The totally uninterested

These people are also extremely obvious to spot. Throughout the concert they will rarely smile. They were probably dragged to the concert by their friends or significant others. If the concert has seating they will probably not stand at all. If the concert is standing room only then they will most definitely not be dancing. Because they didn't want to go to the concert in the first place, they will be more annoyed at the things that normal concert fans overlook, like being shoved by strangers or having your seat kicked.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
