The Five Types Of People You’ll Run Into At A Concert
Festival Snobs

From music festivals to world tours, artists are constantly making their way around the globe in order to spread their music near and far. It used to be that most of the profit that artists would make would come from record sales, but with the rise of the Internet, things have changed drastically within the industry and so one solution that artist’s turn to is touring more often. Some bands and artists are constantly touring, and find time off only when they’re in the studio working on their next record or even the days rest between two different tours. Other artists and bands are more…limited edition, so to speak; these are the type of artists who tour once every couple of years, or play at the most exclusive venues for a small amount of time out of the year. Whoever it is that you’ve seen, or are going to see, chances are, you’ve noticed these same types of concert goers throughout your music experiences and it’s always a sight to see indeed.

1. The carefree dancers

You know exactly what I’m talking about. From the couple slow dancing to nearly every song on the set list – WHY??? – to the group of friends laughing and giving it all they’ve got. Carefree dancers are some of the best fans at concerts because of the energy they bring to the table. From the whip, to the nae nae, to moshing, or just running around crazily, their energy almost always makes the experience more enjoyable. Even if they’re going too hard, you have to give them credit for trying.

2. The parent-child duo (or trio).

We’ve all been at the age where our parents aren’t so trusting of what we’re into, so it’s only natural to see parents with their children from time to time at these concerts and their venues. I’ve noticed that it’s usually fathers and daughters, or mothers, daughters and their friends. However the group is made up, those parents deserve a pat on the back; how cool is it to have a parent willing to suffer through your screamo days only to make you happy?

3. The Awkward Guy

I’m not going to lie. This is usually me. I don’t know what to do with my hands, I don’t know a majority of the people around me, and I stand pretty still, no matter the genre – there are exceptions of course (twenty one pilots, duh). However, He’s the one who goes to the back of the intimate venue because he knows it’s less crowded and he can still see the stage pretty damn well.

4. The Pusher

These are especially prominent in…. well, every concert. No matter where you’re standing, there’s always that one person or group of people who are inching their way towards you, and often end up pushing you and your crew feet from where you originally started hanging out. They’re probably not doing it on purpose, so we’ll give them a pass this time…

5. The Drunk

I totally understand the longing to drink at a concert. It’s safe to say that we’ve all tried some sort of alcoholic beverage at one point or another, but there are some people who take it too far. If you can’t remember the concert that you attended the night before, you should probably slow down. The Drunk is sloppy, unpredictable, and all over the venue; no one likes a drink spilt on them, so take it easy man.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
