The other day, at a Foals concert, I was just thinking about the kinds of people I've encountered at concerts. Ha! I've meet all kinds of weird and interesting people during concerts - including myself. I'm the type of girl who sings out loud, extremely loud, and doesn't know the lyrics at all, but I'm not embarrassed about it at all because deep down I know I'm a true fan. Last year, My friend and I decided to drive all the way to Atlanta, Georgia just to see Hozier (Andrew Hozier Byrne)–– it was an amazing experience to see him perform "Take Me to Church," and the crowd's reactions were interesting. All I can remember from that concert was me singing out loud and pretending I knew "Work Song." I also vaguely remembered a drunk woman who was kicked out from the beautiful venue (Tabernacle.) When Hozier was singing Work Song, there was a part of the song where he pauses, but I stupidly kept singing out loud–it was embarrassing to say the least. But after attending a few music festivals and concerts, I think I can ace listing all of the different types of people you'll meet at concerts.
Have Your Voice Heard: Become An Odyssey Creator
1. PRETENDS TO KNOW ALL THE LYRICS (AKA ME)
Yup - if you could read lips, you would see that mine don't match the song, but it's okay because I'm having a great time. At least Emma Stone now knows the lyrics to Pocketful of Sunshine.
2. THE GROUPIE
There's always the groupie at a concert, every time, and this person knows every lyric, is seemingly dying of happiness, sweaty, and always in the first row. Nonetheless, even the die-hard fan has a great time.
3. THE ANNOYING GUY
There's always the drunk guy who is trying to flirt. Well, if you're that guy, please STOP! It's extremely annoying because some girls are there for the music and not you.
4. PUGS NOT DRUGS (MESSED UP BY DRUGS)
Some concerts can serve as just another excuse to use drugs. If you ever go to Ultra Music Festival, you will know exactly what I'm talking about!
5. THE TEXTER/ PHOTOGRAPHER
Why though? Just why? Stop texting or taking photos – please, just enjoy the concert.
Now that you know the types of people you'll meet at a concert – do you fall under any of these categories? Because I know I do! It's okay, you're obviously not alone. Just keep having the greatest time ever because that's what matters the most. If you have ever had an embarrassing experience at a concert, please tell me about it, I would love know all about it!
