The 9 Phases Of Post-Concert Depression

If you haven't felt it then you're probably lying to yourself.

The 9 Phases Of Post-Concert Depression

Post-concert depression.

We've all heard of it, and we've all probably experienced it. If you haven't felt it then you're probably lying to yourself.

You get to see your favorite band or artist live and all of a sudden it's like, "Holy cow. They are actually real and not just figments of everyone's imaginations." Then the concert is over, and you go home to relish in what you've heard for a few hours. Maybe it's the next day, or maybe it's as soon as the house lights come on and the stage crew starts moving equipment. It will hit you though.

When it does, watching the 8 second video you took of Tyler Joseph singing "But I know we've made it this far, kid" a million times will definitely not help.

So thanks to Alternative Press. They finally put what we've all been feeling into words.


1. Euphoria

You have survived, and you are now on cloud nine.

2. Reflection

This takes the form of thinking about what you've just experienced or singing along to those songs again in the car on the way home with your friends.

3. Realization

Suddenly, you come crashing down from cloud nine because you'll never experience this again.

4. Reality

The next day as you try to go back to the real world.

5. Feeling outcasted

You just want to talk to someone about it, but no one will listen because anyone who wasn't there too doesn't care.

6. Stalking


So you'll turn to hashtags on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and creep on other fans experiencing what you did or even on the artist/band themselves.

7. Lack of impulse control


Buying tickets to another show seems like the perfect idea, right?

8. Acceptance


Your bank account will you bring you back to the real world real quick. It will be OK, though.

9. Living

You've now survived Post Concert Depression. You've returned to living life and looking back to your photos and videos without crying. Congrats!

Until you do it all over again with the next one.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
