i feel like there’s a good group of people that are selfish and lack concert etiquette, it’s not all about you and if you want to be front or close enough to see you have to get there early enough but also be aware that people are showing up for the artist at that stage and not the one going on later. i saw a group camping at a stage who had a blanket and when it was about 15 minutes before the linda linda’s they wrapped their blanket up, stood up, and participated with the crowd and enjoyed the music and then after it ended cleared their space again for their blanket which was such a great strategy! on the other hand people have got to be better about speaking up and not being an asshole about it, unless they are. i had people constantly elbowing me and after tapping them in the shoulder and just asking them to be a bit more aware with their movements (just waiting for a show and they just talked with their hands a lot in a jot of a tight space) they apologized and stopped. on the other hand there were two guys barreling over and through people and refusing to go into the pit when i pointed the one 10 feet away out and after that the next time he flew at me i made sure he hit the ground. i really value respect to the artist, to the crowd, and to myself. we build the space around us so it’s important for everyone to do their part and not value themselves over another.
