According to Urban Dictionary definitions, a “concert junkie” is one who goes to many concerts. The feeling of anticipation waiting for the artist(s) to come on stage is indescribable. If you’re someone who lives for that feeling, here are ten signs that you are a concert junkie.
1. Saving up money just to spend it on concert tickets
Picking up a part-time job and saving your minimum wage paychecks just to blow $200 bucks on one show.
2. Experiencing “post concert depression”
You know it’s bad when you went to a concert over a week ago and you still feel like there’s a gigantic gaping hole in your heart – yup, that’s me right now.
3. You get chills when the lights go down and the first song begins every single time.
The rush of adrenaline runs through your veins and the hair on the back of your neck stands up at the sight of your favorite performer coming on stage.
4. You plan out the entire night down to the minute
Arriving a few hours early, standing on line, knowing exactly when the doors will open, and knowing that each act will come on approximately 20 minutes late. You know the drill.
5. Entering radio station contests
Listening all day every day to qualify for Meet and Greet passes, or trying to win free tickets, the die-hard concert goers never give up. Maybe you’ll get lucky and win Justin Bieber meet and greet passes (yup, that’s me too).
6. Traveling out of state just for a show
Dedication at its finest means driving hours on end just to sit in nosebleed seats for your favorite musician.
7. Concert people are your favorite people
You’re all there to share a love of music, to share happiness, and you may meet some potentially lifelong friends at a concert.
8. Following your favorite musicians on all social media platforms to stalk them at all times
Just to see where they are performing and stuff, right? Right.
9. Your excuse to skip plans is “I can’t, I’m going to a concert.”
I'm sure they've heard that a million times.
10. Being at a concert feels like being at home
It’s right where you belong.
If most or all of these things apply to you, it’s safe to say you’re a concert junkie!
