So, you're going to a huge rap concert. Maybe you don't even really like rap music all that much, but hey, your friends are going, so you decide to tag along. What's the worst that could happen?
1. The lines of cars outside the venue.
When thousands of people are trying to get to the exact same place in New Jersey off of the exact same exit, you're gonna run into a lot of cars full of a lot of teenagers and some exhausted parents on the drive there. Shout out to that one car full of people who were scream-singing Trap Queen with all your windows rolled down--you were the real entertainment of the night.
2. The hordes of people wearing minimal clothing.
Huge rap concerts aren't really known for their modesty, so to speak, but I still wasn't expecting the unique style of clothing that almost everyone was wearing. Hell, I didn't even know clothing could be cut that way without completely falling off of your body.
3. The immense cloud of weed covering the entire stage.
When I say entire stage, I mean ENTIRE STAGE. Once you find your seats, it's all over. You aren't taking another clean breath of air for like 5 more hours.
4. The frat boys sitting behind you.
They'll enthusiastically introduce themselves and chat up with you for about 5 minutes before the event begins, so you at least know what their names are when they begin loudly singing and spilling Bud Light Strawberita™ on you.
5. The people vomiting sitting in front of you.
There's nothing like watching someone violently puke for like, 3 hours, while their friends half-heartedly pat their head and force-feed them water. Don't drink too much before concerts, kids.
6. The awkward shuffling/grinding dancing happening around you.
It's pretty damn difficult to dance normally to pure trap music with slow, mellow beats. This means you end up with a lot of bodies sort of waving around and a lot of drunk people trying to act excited about really slow music. It's very surreal.
7. The artists playing sets you've never heard of.
You don't really know what to expect when you go to a rap concert with some artists you don't really listen to, but you hope for a good time. Maybe you know the main act, but who the hell is this guy and why is he shirtless and asking anyone with drugs to raise their hands?
8. The fact that you reek of weed.
Yeah, that smell isn't coming out any time soon. You're also pretty sure that the frat boys have split more than half of their strawberry concoction on you, and strawberry alcohol is stickier than you thought it was. Have fun going back to your parents like that!
9. Your friend's contact high.
After standing in the weed cloud for approximately 5 hours, someone is gonna end up high. The walk back to the car where your friend's mom is picking you up sure is a lot more fun when one of your friends keeps asking where you're going and tries to pick up random bottles off of the ground.
10. The 4 AM McDonald's run on the way back.
Aforementioned high friend is going to be hungry, and he's gonna be unwilling to eat the leftover pizza in the back because your other friend told him it was too girly. So he's gonna want a caramel frappe from McDonald's, because it's the only place open this late.
11. Passing out at 5 AM and having to wake up at 8 AM.
Nothing feels better than finally being able to sleep on your friend's couch late at night. And nothing feels worse than having to wake up the morning after because you still have tennis practice.
