"Why are you wasting your money on that garbage you call music? Why do you feel a need to keep going to all these concerts? Don't you get tired of them? Aren't they expensive? Why cant you just listen to the radio, it's free you know. Why are you supporting these people by giving them your money and attention?"

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and blah.

Those are just some of the common questions and statements adults say and ask to teens and young adults when it comes to concerts. Personally I find it super annoying. However, I don't find that most adults are very hypercritical when it comes to things like this. Think about it. Our parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, boss', teachers, they were all teenagers at one point in their lives! I guarantee they went to concerts, listened to music that their parents thought wasn't considered "good music" and they probably had the same debate with their parents like you're having with them now.

But, you have to do what makes you happy. If going to five concerts weekend after weekend in one summer makes you happy (I'm one hundred percent guilty of this), then you go for it! Make the most of every concert you go to! I myself, treat every concert as if its my last one I'll ever go too. I know, so dramatic, like as if that will ever happen. But, you have to make it fun! Doesn't matter what kind of concert, rap, country, EDC, Pop- artist, doesn't matter! It's your time to enjoy yourself. When it comes to concerts only you can control the level of fun you have. With that being said, it's always best to go to a concert with people that you know will have fun, that will dance and sing with you at the concert, video tape everything and take pictures. The more fun people you bring, you're more than likely to have a great time.

But also remember this, you're only a teenager once, you're only young once. You won't always have opportunities to go to all these concerts when you get older. So yeah, spend the money, buy the ticket. Buy a t-shirt while you're there, wear a cute outfit too, and make the most of the whole concert experience. Why does it matter what other people think? Take the day with your friends and go enjoy yourself. Travel, go local, do whatever you think would be fun! You never know if your favorite band will have another concert next year.

So forget about all those silly questions your parents and other adults might ask you. You don't owe anyone an explanation for you having fun. You're a teenager - a young adult! Go out and have some fun. Buy that concert ticket, make the most of every minute, and dance the night away! Make the most of that night, it's not just the performers concert, make it your concert!
