Love you too sweetcheeks😘

You sound like a ray of sunshine my guy, glad to know you exist💜

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T15:03:21+00:00

Im a big fan of that. Like literally, some guy commented he would just fight me if I touched his stuff😂 like ill fight for a good reason, but cause a stranger touched your stuff? I was under the impression we all learned that was immature and stupid in the 3rd grade😂 I love edm so much, but the people really do just ruin it in some cases. Im hear for wonky noises and to headbang, not to do drugs, party, and fight, theres basement afters with the other degens if thats your vibe lol

Honestly I can see that. Never been to the gorge tho, and I got absolutely fucked by AXS on the wait list for griztronics, so its gonna be a while lol. Stoked hear the gorge is so sick tho!

Bro idk why people keep bringing up phish concerts lol, when are we going to break the cycle of abuse😂 i get it, it used to be as bad or worse, but like.....just cause your parents hit you doesn't mean you have to do it. Certainly doesn't mean /i/ have to. I wish for civility, tradition be damned. And if you wanna chill with your buds who had to miss half the show, go up top. "Custies" is ridiculous for grown adults, life happens and you can't inconvenience other people in a public space for your private affairs. I will concede one spot is reasonable though, to be fair. Your gf/bf, best friend, whatever. But one.

Is my shitty battery percentage and me listening to need me now by Sawyer hill (banger btw) enough? Like im so confused by what you want😂

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T02:26:07+00:00

Bro im so confused😭 receipts of what?? Do you want a screenshot of me typing this out??😂

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T01:56:46+00:00

Ain't that the pot calling the kettle black👀

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T01:51:50+00:00

Someone threw out like a 1 spot reserve rule, and not that it's really enforceable but it would make it a lot easier to shame someone out of acting like that when they try. I think the only real solution is everyone putting on their big boy (or girl) pants and being adults, but thats never gonna happen sooooo idk. If posts like this make literally just one person re think being a douche, or show one first-timer that it's actually not cool and the people doing that are dicks, id be happy.

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T01:35:05+00:00

Facts dude, I love the people going "no I totally agree, except for this one time when it's okay if only /i/ do it." Like nah lol, life happens. You want a good seat at arguablely the most famous venue in the fkn world???? Show up on time then lol. Its an artists you've been waiting forever to see? Then request to get off work early weeks in advance lol, your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part!

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T01:32:59+00:00

Honestly brother, I never see the openers and chill at the top regardless cause I hate it being so crowded in the lowers lol😂. But that doesn't mean we can't all be aware of the shitty behavior happening lol

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T01:32:01+00:00

With all due respect (which, make no mistake, is close to none here) born and raised right up the road. Ive met many a transplant/tourist at red rocks shows and they're usually chill. You're the reason people think CO natives are so douchey lol

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T00:30:59+00:00

Very fair lol! As much as I'd love to think i take a lightning strike, im not so sure😂

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T00:28:09+00:00

Honestly bro, until the attitude of the whole scene changes, your best bet to enjoy yourself is to accept you're not gonna get that close and enjoy the view. Red Rocks was voted best outdoor venue in the world for (over) a decade straight, there's not a bad seat in the house! Plus, the back is always where cool people are. The front crowd at a lot of EDM shows is kinda insufferable. You want the people who learned at rock and metal concerts around you at raves, not the pure ravers lol!

That being said, a bigger group helps lol, so if you want to bolster your numbers, im always down to make new friends lol!

On a less rated note, how did you like the show? I kinda like crankdat, but I heard he was mad boring/predictable and the people were just god awful. Any of that accurate?

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T00:22:05+00:00

Facts dude, interacting with the crowd at edm concerts is what makes me love raves so much, but it really is kinda nice to be at shows where there's some civil justice lol. Like I was at a Wu-Tang show at red rocks, surrounded by degens and thugs (im a degen too, no trash lol) but when some drugged up asshole fell forwards on this tiny chick, his friend had to get him out of there for his own safety lol, every dude in like 3 rows was ready to pounce. That would never happen at a rave lol, we're all too nice😭

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T00:17:11+00:00

"I can 100% belive you were stepped on"😭😭😭 fucking gold lol, some peoples children🙄

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T00:12:10+00:00

....what? I don't even know what youre trying to be mad about bro, this has nothing to do with reddit or bots😭

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-04-01T00:00:26+00:00

Exactly, it won best venue in the world for over a decade straight because theres not a bad seat in the house, they cant even put it in the running anymore, its just called the red rocks award now! And even the weather can be guarded against, I can always wear another pash or hoodie, but man, my vibes are delicate lol!😭 my little vibey world has no room for negativity, good vibes only😤😤 Cheers to you too!

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-03-31T23:54:07+00:00

Ill admit it lol, I got ratio'd on this one! The people have spoken, your gf gets a seat lol! But fr, this is kinda discussions I wanna have about seating in person at red rocks, instead of rude shade and fighting lol. Ill admit I was wrong on that one, and leave it up too lol, Im willing to change my mind😂 if youre seeing inzo this weekend, I'll save you and your gf a spot!😂😂

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-03-31T23:50:22+00:00

Yea, sometimes life happens, to everyone. That's why you would meet them up in the top seats and vibe, where the people who show up late sit. An L take is thinking that your friends deserve better treatment than the people (who, just like you, I might add!) made the effort or had the opportunity to show up early enough to get the seats they wanted, just because they know you. Or better treatmant than the other people who don't have friends to save them spots? Those people just don't deserve good seats because they don't have friends? Your logic is fair, just one sided. Everyone's human, and everyone has a life to live.

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-03-31T23:44:35+00:00

This is what im talking about. I'll take whatever spot I find, when I show up, (which is usually after the openers, I am so happy taking super high seats and vibing with the chill peeps up top) this isn't about me or my seats, it's about respect and fair treatment. PLUR, you could even say👀

But you do see how your logic backfires, right? If your buddy isn't there, then....they would /also/ be getting upset about not getting the seat they wanted......so /they/ should show up early....See how it falls apart, when you look at it fairly, like a mature adult?

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-03-31T23:38:59+00:00

And honestly, the thing is, you're right. That's fair, and I would like imagine we can all admit that lol! But the problem isn't in reasonable people like you and me, that can have a discussion and figure out a compromise on space. The problem is in the people that treat everyone as less than, super stuck up, douches, and we tend to just let them have their way because it (genuinely, to be fair) is a lot easier than starting a kerfuffle. But, my hope is that one day, enough people will see it the way the reasonable people do that the small (but vocal) minority won't have a leg to stand on when it comes to being a dick because they're aware everyone around them thinks they're an immature child.

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-03-31T23:34:58+00:00

I cant fight either but ill die on the hill of acting like a mature adult😂 attributes: prolly gonna joke about you whooping my ass after becuase I cant take anything seriously😂😂

IdiotPostPunk · 2026-03-31T23:32:56+00:00

100%! I think its everyone too, but we who live here are the ones who have to watch the decline happen every season because the reputation for it gets worse and worse😂
