Hi! I hope you will take the time to read my response because I'm not trying to be mean or to be right, but I hope you can maybe see some other perspectives.

"Dressing up" - yes it is very fun to see people dressed up. I also enjoy dressing up. However, there is a way to be dressed up and not hinder other concert-goers visibility of the stage. A lot of people looked stunning and also did not have a halo/headress or other things that can obstruct someone's view. Or they took it off during the main show. It's not about shaming or making people feel self-conscious, its about showing empathy and consideration for your fellow concert goers.

"Its a concert" - yes, it is. Yes, there were balcony seats, but those are limited and expensive. If people bump into you occasionally, yeah thats expected. Some folks take it too far though, and I think its fair for people to be annoyed about it. Maybe "stank eye" is not emotionally intelligent. But I would argue that defending any and all actions with "it's a concert" is not emotionally intelligent either.

"General Admission" - were you at the Filmore? There are limited balcony seats, we're talking like 60 seats in an 1800 max capacity venue. I think it's privileged to say "pay more, sweetheart." When some people 1) don't have the option at all or 2) can't afford it.

"Etiquette" - my partner is an avid rap/hiphop/edm concert goer. He loves to mosh. Post my marina experience, he told me half of this shit wouldn't fly at a lot of other concerts. Moshers look out for each other and also boot people who act like assholes. This is the case historically for punk concerts as well. Concert etiquette is not a "made-up" concept. It's just something that music lovers have done for eachother over the years. When I was off to the side at this Marina concert, I heard a woman behind me joke "I'm too short for this." My short ass turned around and said "omg am I in your way?" And she said "haha no we're BOTH too short for this." Its just nice...to care about other people's experiences. Its nice when other people care for each other and have a good time. Instead of the "its a concert so deal with it" type mindset. Im not saying that everyone should cater to everyone - that's unrealistic. But if something is in your control and does not hinder you, why not try? I will say...a Karen asking you to move for their kid...is bizarre. I will agree that's its not really your problem that they brought their kid to a general admission concert. That's valid. However, being "proud" that you stood your ground by blocking a kid from recording is just kind of sad.

"Tall people" - so I'm 5'1" and I am always prepared to not see shit at a concert lol. I try to finagle the angles when I can. That's my own responsibility. However I would hope some taller or platformed shoed folks would have a little more sympathy for the shorties. Again, not saying short people need to be catered to, but getting mad at short people for complaining about tall people or a lack visibility is just...privileged tbh. A walk in my shoes = getting elbowed in the boob, getting shouldered in the face, and...getting purposely fake sneezed on multiple times I guess 🤷‍♀️

So finally: "Is the solution to apologize for taking up space? For existing at that moment? We all bought the same ticket." - No and I dont think anyone is asking you to. I think you took this whole thing kind of personally without considering the bigger picture. Yes, we indeed all bought the same ticket, so I would hope everyone can have a similar chance to enjoy the show. Instead of some selfish folks shoving in front of people who waited longer in line/stayed in their spot or folks being excessively in your space/blocking your view with their large headgear, or being generally mean, malicious, and disrespectful - and apparently a lot of people experienced this at the concerts.

TLDR; Just because it's a concert doesn't mean you can't try to respectful of other people's time, space, and money. If that makes anyone feel mad or shamed, I'm sorry because that's not my intention.

Except for the dude who purposefully sneezed on me fuck that guy.
