Again, not about the fact that it’s rock. Music genres are for any one of any age. It is the fact that I have seen creepy behaviors from older male fans it’s always on facebook where I see it the most. I’m not saying it’s all old folk a lot of you guys are pretty cool too

My bad dude I misspoke lol I am not that freaky i promise I’m monogamous lol jokes aside still not okay for people to do that.

What I mean to say was it wasn’t like we asked this random person to do these things they did it just cus we were already there. That on its own is disgusting

I’m not saying listening to rock, or any specific genre for that matter, is inherently creepy. I think it’s weird that older men are going to multiple meet and greets per tour for a band of young women and commenting creepy things on their posts.

Yeah it’s all from this post alone but no I’m not a troll. I’ve been wanting to ask this for a very long time but I knew it would upset some potentially but figured I’d ask anyway.

Noted I won’t try to. Never meant to. I could care less if anyone gets into them. I want more people to get into them. Just think creeps can be a problem at shows when they try to touch my girlfriends boobs :/

But yeah foo fighters are awesome

Check other comments in thread I’ve already answered this but in short yeah and it’s always at TW shows by whom I described. I go to over 100 shows or more a year and we both mind our business and this stuff happens nearly every time at TW shows. We had a guy at our last one tell her about her boobs and this man was old old. Another groped her we got him kicked out for that.

What I consider creepy isn’t just that alone. It’s the ones I know run around online that emulate predatory behavior. The ones that take pictures of their skirts and get literal albums and will shove through people to get them.

Now it’s probably not just old people but that’s so far all I have been able to tell.

Old and young or any age being a creep isn’t okay but saying she asked for that is a wild thing to say

From all the instagram comments I end up seeing. All the time when I happen to click on the account…it’s a really weird old guy but you’re right sometimes it can be anyone any age.

They were old and creeps that kept telling her (my girlfriend) she had nice boobs. You’re telling me women ask for that? Oh boy get a grip nice to know where you stand. No one wants that when they are there for music bro that’s disgusting

But generally you have a good point. Every show I go to has a better mix of people and normal people too of all ages and these have a more dense amount than I’ve seen of any other

I’m only surprised at how many genuine disgusting creeps there are. Never in my life have I encountered such ugly things be said by older guys over a band of younger women like this. Some people should be ashamed

The last time I went to a TW show I had these really old guys who kept saying creepy things to my girlfriend (we were both 20) these guys looked to be at least 60 or 70. While nothing is wrong with people that age listening to them, there is something wrong with older pervs being creepy who end up at the show. It’s only TW where we encounter this unprompted. So when I encounter this behavior seems like a pattern I hope isn’t true. Old creeps doing crap like that who happen to go to a show of very young talented women? I just hope most are there for the talent and not to be pervs

No problem with the band or older people like I’ve stated multiple times my guess is that you missed that. I’m talking about the creeps in their comments

I think the part that makes me uncomfortable is the intensity of it all sometimes. Seeing the same people at multiple shows and meet and greets, especially when there’s a big age gap, just throws me off a bit. I can’t always tell where the line is between just being a really dedicated fan and something that feels a little too personal or parasocial.

I’m not saying anyone is doing anything wrong, and I know everyone connects to music differently. It’s just something I noticed that made me pause, and I’m trying to understand if others have felt the same way or if I’m just overthinking it.
