12 Types Of People At Concerts

We all love seeing our favorite artists live. No matter if it's a packed arena, or a dinky local show, concerts seem to attract the same kinds of people.

1. The person on their phone the entire time.

There will always be at least one person glued to their annoyingly bright phone during the show, usually texting someone wishing they were somewhere better and not as crowded or loud. I am not sure why these people come, but, as long as they aren't distracting or in the way, who cares? They supported the band by buying a ticket. Now, if you are someone that wanted to go, but couldn't because tickets were sold out... then this phone user should be the one sacrificed.

2. The person who records the. entire. show.


Phones again. Yes, snapping a few pictures or even taking a short video is great for memories, but these people are sacrificing their experience trying to be able to relive it later. I would personally enjoy seeing my favorite artists with my own eyeballs than through a screen, but that might just be me. These concertgoers also get in the way of people behind them. Snap a few, and put it away, please. Also, your Snapchat friends probably will not appreciate 20 minutes of grainy footage with atrocious audio.

3. The concert mom/dad.

Hey, their minor(s) need money, a ride and a coat rack.

4. Drunk people.

I'm not sure how this happens at venues that don't sell alcohol, but it always ends up happening. They are loud, obnoxious and reek.

5. The person that's just too into it.

I support their enthusiasm, but sometimes.... chill.

6. The attention-seekers.

Shouting "I love you" or a specific song title at the artist or band isn't really the worst thing a person can do at a show, but they might have their heart crushed when they realize that they are literally just a voice in the crowd.

7. The person that tries to start a pit.

Even during slow songs and interludes at an Ed Sheehan show, there is at least one person swinging.

8. Obvious family members of local/opening bands.



My personal favorites are characteristically out of place older people or children wearing merch of an opening artist that you probably haven't heard of.

9. The people who are stone walls until their one artist or one song plays.

In my experience, these people get right up front and have their arms crossed until their window of enjoyment comes. They crawl out of their shell and quickly retreat once their season has passed.

10. The couple.

I have no idea why there is always a couple that feels the need to canoodle in crowds, especially closer to the front where space is really tight. It just makes everyone feel weird. Please go in the back, or, better yet, back to the privacy of your own home.

11. The merch hound.

No question about who they came to see.

12. The crowdsurfer.

Illegal in most venues for safety reasons but still a thrilling rite of passage on most scenes.


Long live live music!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
