It's no secret that I've been to a couple concerts over the years... or 108 to be exact. At every single one, regardless of the artist, venue, or city, you will find every single one of these people... and probably hate them. And if you don't, you probably are one of them even if you don't want to admit it.
1. The Conga Line
Nothing is worse than an entire parade of people squeezing to the front five minutes before the show starts because "their friend is up there". There is no room for any more people, but they do not care. They all hold hands and push and shove people out of their way to get their party of 12 to the barricade.
2. The Jolly Green Giant
If you are above six foot, please do not be aggressive. The five foot girl behind you loves this band and does not care about what the back of your shoulders look like. Stand wherever you like but be polite about the people behind you. And if you are like 6'6, please stay towards the sides or back... it's rude.
3. The Bathroom Buds
If you are in the front, the middle of a set is probably the worst possible time to decide to go to the bathroom... even worse, to bring every single one of your friends with you.
4. The Concert Couple
I understand you love your significant other but please do not spend an entire five hours grinding to indie alternative music... it's concerning.
5. The Groupie
How can you tell if someone has seen this band multiple times? Don't worry, they'll tell you. They have a tour tee and checkered vans most likely and will tell you alllllllll about the time the lead singer grabbed their hand while crowd surfing.
6. The Aggressor
It is a given that personal space is irrelevant. However, some people take this a little too far... this is the guy that refuses to shift even a little when you get too close on accident. The guy whose hair is always in your mouth, the girl always standing on your feet, and the one whose arm is touching you the entire time. That's about as passive as it gets folks.
7. The Drunk
At $10 a beer, how are you blackout? No one needs to hear their favorite lyrics slurred and screamed in their ear or wants a stranger falling all over them.
8. The Bored
The people who forgot they spent money to be here. This one goes out to the guy who I saw pull out his phone and watch The Office during the opening act because he didn't care enough to listen. This is the teenager air dropping memes to strangers. This is the girl whose phone battery is somehow already almost dead. Calm down.
9. The Children... and Their Parents
I do not care that this is your 12 year old's favorite band Karen, if they keep stepping on my toes and screaming at the top of their lungs after every single song, I'm going to lose it.
10. The Videographer
GiphyDid you know you don't actually have to buy tickets to shows when you can watch the entire thing on someone's snapchat story. Do you think they even know what it looked like without the filter?.... even though they were there...
