In the past year, I've been to four different concerts. All four were vastly different genres. I sat four rows back in a Panic! At The Disco concert, I stood front row for The Front Bottoms, I danced the night away at Hoodie Allen with my baby sister and I've witnessed so many amazing local artists that we'll all group into one category for this article. While I moshed with TFB and I bopped with Hoodie, the environment itself was something that was the same regardless of who I was there to see.
Concerts are sort of like church, everyone is there for the same reason and your mutual love for something has brought you all here. And much like church everyone is so supportive, so loving and there for one another.
It doesn't matter if you show up with a group of your best friends, by the end of the night you will happily have 2x as many as you walked in with. Dancing to your favorite songs, screaming every word...there's just something so powerful about it, especially when it's a band that means so much to you.
Big concerts, small concerts, I've never been to a rude concert. I am a small, five foot tall, 18-year-old girl who decided to go attend a standing room only punk concert and then got separated from her six foot five friend.
The people around me were so kind and looked out for the tiny girl and I actually ended up standing front row due to some people's direct kindness. At Panic! a boy wouldn't take no for an answer so two girls pulled me into the bathroom with them like we had known each other forever.
So, rock on my party people.
