We have all been to a concert in the past year, or we have at least seen footage from one. The crowds at country concerts are almost as diverse as the United States. Everyone has heard a country song play on the radio, and I do not mean anything from Taylor Swift circa 2012. The popularity of country music has allowed the fanbase to grow from the stereotypical "hicks" to the business man who lives in New York City. I must confess that I am the most avid country fan, but listening to Nash FM has helped me through more rough times in my life then I can count. So without further ado here are the 10 people you will see at a Luke Bryan concert:
1. The Authentic Country Boy
You know exactly who I mean. The one with the cowboy hat, leather boots, tight fitting boot cut Wrangler jeans and possibly a plaid shirt or no shirt at all. They can be seen trying to make moves toward the woman around them, but then drinking a beer after being rejected. These are the boys that know the words to every song and are not afraid to let you know that they stand with the red, white and blue.
2. The Wannabe Country Girl
Most noted by their too short shorts and the littlest bit of fabric (usually plaid and/or patriotic) to cover their boobs. Uncle Sam never looked happier. They perfectly mimic the farm tan from the local salon and their nails have never seen a speck of dirt. They also can be seen drinking more than they are capable. But the country boys fall for them anyway.
3. Overenthusiastic Small Children
They literally have no clue what is going on, but they do know that their parents love being here, so they have no choice. Some actually know the lyrics, but they just dance because they are bored. These children are usually dressed in cowboy boots and a band tee, or can be noticed because of their erratic dance moves and loud shrieks that can be heard over the music.
4. Soccer Mom With Her Friends
She finally has convinced her husband to watch the kids so she could go check out the man she really wants. Usually pretty hammered by the time that they arrive, but insists on grinding on their fellow soccer moms, usually drinking their alcoholic beverage of choice. They are most fun to watch when the opening acts are playing.
5. The Kids Too Young To Be Here Without A Chaperone
Where the hell are their parents? Most appropriately labeled as the prepubescent teenager, and they usually dress way older than they are and always flirt with the authentic country boy. But seriously, where are their parents?
6. The One That Doesn't Belong But Knows All The Songs
These people usually are decked out in their "swag" that most country artists make fun of. You are honestly shocked to see them here but you are even more shocked when they know every word. Damn, way to break stereotypes. #YouRock
7. The Unenthusiastic Boyfriend Who Got Dragged Along
They often have their faces in their phones waiting for this eternal hell to be over. Often can be found cursing a few days later when they have reached their data limit. They are usually quite embarrassed because their girlfriends are shaking their asses for the entire crowd to see.
8. The Shirtless Guys That People Are Drawing On
I honestly don't know what is happening with this, but it happens more times than you think. But what you do you bro.
9. The Couple Over 50
Do you enjoy new country music? This is definitely not Patsy Cline, but will do I guess. But seriously, are you enjoying this? You look kinda confused.
10. The Country Boy That Doesn't Know Any Of The Songs
He just comes because he feels obligated. Also, he might be trying to find a girlfriend or just a one night stand.
