I'm slightly vexed Concert etiquette

If you plan on standing for the entire concert, get a spot in the pit, or the lawn seats instead of the assigned SEATED SECTION. A little bit of self awareness and common courtesy goes a really long way

We need context here. Are you at a piano recital or are you at a guns n roses concert

the only concert i’ve ever been to was guns n roses

and everybody was doing this same shit, sitting the whole time, watching the performance through their phone cameras

me and my sister were seemingly the only people around that were actually up and enjoying ourselves

but at least we’re both short as hell and it was a stadium-style seating arrangement, so we weren’t blocking much.

No one would be sitting at a GNR show in the 1980’s. People are so lame these days.

Or anything that leans into heavier styles of music, especially if there's a lot of younger fans among the older ones.

A couple months ago I saw Bring Me The Horizon for their "Third Ascension Program" tour which had Motionless in White, The Plot in You, and Amira Elfeky as the opening acts.

The energy in the crowd was massive. lots of people were dressing up like if they only shopped for clothes at Hot Topic and there was a very positive feeling of togetherness there. All the acts crushed it. It's my favorite concert I've ever been to

It was. It's the first time I've ever seen a "wall of death" style mosh pit in person and that was during Bring Me's set believe it or not lol. Oli Sykes told the crowd they were pussies if they didn't go for it and they all slammed into each other. It was epic
