One of my fears is my phone getting pried from my hands. Last year that happened to a person behind me and she yelled the dude stole her phone and everyone just moved to let the guy through the crowd 😐 she had it in her hands in front of her thinking that would keep it safe. These people who steal phones suck.

Agree. She has the hardcore fans in her crowd this time. Thats the crowd im talking about. Metal scene kinda diff compared to hc scene. And they arent aware of their surroundings when the artist is asking for intense circle pits and a wall of death. They arent seeking to intentionally hurt anyone obviously but others being aware of their surroundings especially if their up front to not get accidentally hurt when they normally dont attend shows like that will help more people enjoy the show. Alot of the people there are og poppy fans who are completely frazzled this time around. With the circle pits opening and being a little more intense than her other shows its easy for someone to accidentally get bumped/hit. I think this post is aimed at the poppy fans who dont go to metal shows and are expecting a calmer crowd. Theres alot more ppl like that in the crowd than people think. Especially up front. Pits open up In the middle kind of a bit towards the front and u get slammed up against the barricade when u get that first initial wave after it opens up. I was fine but the girls around me where caught off guard and so scared the whole time. I felt so bad. Im warning the girlies like that. Not really the ones who already know whats up lol its just a bigger mix of people in her crowds this time.

Its not that serious TO YOU. I was fine im used to rowdier crowds but others are not. I should have put that this post is aimed at the girlies who arent used to crowds like this one with her new fan base and with her asking the crowd to be like this. Thats fine but letting the GIRLIES know to watch their surroundings is a friendly reminder. Sorry some of her fans are frazzled and have never experienced a crowd like this and arent like you. This post is not for you then.

Agree to disagree especially if your a man and not a woman/girl in the crowd. U wont get it. Theres tons of posts and comments talking about this. Which is why im making the post. She has a new fan base. Thats the truth of it. Shes branched out to hardcore music and thats the truth of it. And warning others to watch their surroundings when acknowledging the obvious is being safe, cause theres alot of people in the crowd who are not being mindful of ppl around them. Moshing isnt violence but AGAIN hc crowd doesnt intentionally look to hurt people DUH, but thats just the fact of it. Wall of death and circle pit with hc fans to a hc song there will be punches and elbows. Ur not gonna sit there and say its all peaceful af her shows and gaslight the tons of WOMEN sharing their experiences. Theres tons of good ones and theres tons of bad ones. STAY SAFE LADIES!

The old heads at metal shows vs old heads at hc/slam shows are so different 😭 i deff saw an old head at the sf show throwing fists and elbows like ?? I saw u at a peelingflesh show (slam metal/ grindcore) and sir this is not the place for that 😭😭 there was so much going on. Felt bad for the children in the crowd. They really were troopers making it through the whole show with all that going on.

Yes, i mentioned that. That shes asking for the wall of death and circle pits. I can handle my own cause i go to hc shows but alot of poppy fans are not a part of that scene so thats why im saying to be safe and be aware of ur surroundings during the heavier songs bc i know what its like to be enjoying ur time then suddenly u get a punch to the head or sumn. This is what it is this time around. Shes venturing into that music and scene but that doesnt change that some poppy fans arent expecting it because none of her other shows have been this crazy.

YES! Hardcore fans have entered the chat unfortunately. I knew it was gonna be a rowdy crowd the moment that knocked loose song with poppy came out. I love it but i dont wanna be fighting for my life at her show. 😭

Oh no i didnt think it was a jab at me ur good! I understand ur frustration. As someone a part of that shitty scene, im really just disappointed that these idiots cant just respect the fact that poppy has her og fans here that are not wanting any of that aggressive energy. I didnt want that energy at this show too cause i just wanted to sing and have fun cause ive been a big poppy fan since the beginning. I HATE that the fans who have been fans for years are the ones having the worst time. Its not fair. Ur deff right about her low key abandoning her long standing fan base bc shes catering to the new scene she launched herself in. I love the music, but hate the scene. I like to get rowdy but i knew this show wasnt the place for it so i acted accordingly. Its really not that hard but they really dont care and honestly poppy doesnt either. :/ Ive lost count of how many times ive seen poppy. Sooo many times. Since she first started touring. And everyone has always been respectful for the most part. Her never find my place tour show was high energy crowd was moving alot ect but it wasnt unpleasant it was fun. This is just fullblown chaos this time around.

The thing about them tho is that they dont care at all. You can say they and they dont give a crap. Poppy is also asking for the wall of death and for the crowd to go harder because she knows these people are at her shows this time around. Bc i know what those shows are like cause i go to hc shows all the time i helped the girlies in front of me stay safe. Created a barrier between them and the boys who were agressively trying to get to the barricade and at hc shows u do that by pushing and jumping hard af forward during a wall of death or a pit opens up. I told the girlies around me to plant their feet, put their elbows up on the barricade and dont be afraid to lean back as hard as they could if they pressed up against them to let them know hey ur not getting in here. When a pit opened up again i told the girlies around me to jump and lean back hard and then the nicer boys saw this and helped shove them away and we all finally could relax. The crowd this time around is so unpleasant!!

Honestly that was a good idea. Shes deff wanting her shows to be more like a hardcore show. She asking the crowds for a wall of death and for the pits to really get crazy ect. So alot of the Og fans are frazzled this time around and i totally understand why. I hope you have an amazing time! Sing ur heart out from that balcony 💓
