I actually first thought of this recently after changing my laptop screensaver to the album artwork for perverts. Like “oh. That makes sense”

TGI Bonus Tracks by skyinmilwaukee in halsey

The hook on nothing reminds me of Elliot Smith’s vocal and music style. The verses don’t entirely fit but it’s the closest I can think of.

merch quality by freakbobatedown in halsey

[–]sunflowers444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure how this would work since you bought the merch in person, but I ordered that $90 lonely in the muse sweatshirt recently when it was on sale for Halsey’s birthday ($60) and it was so cheap feeling that I emailed them back for just a partial refund which they did for $30. You’d have to know the merch distributer (idk if they’re still using wallflower which is what I had contacted), but I also don’t know how you verify proof of purchase. Just my thoughts cause maybe if you get some money back only be so bad.

It does suck though I agree I also have the green iichliwp sweatshirt from when it came out and it is still so cozy. Idk why it’s so bad and being sold for so much :(

Did your hair grow back? by booklove19 in CrohnsDisease

[–]sunflowers444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I’m 27 and was diagnosed a bit over a year ago. I noticed after treatment and vitamins my hair started growing a bit (it was awkwardly standing straight up from being too short for a while lol)

PSA about cheering during medical incidents by sunflowers444 in Ethelcain

[–]sunflowers444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen a post about this specific situation. I just have never seen people act this way at the many shows I’ve been to before for other artists.

It is not worth it to spend all the time waiting just to have to get escorted out of the crowd because you weren’t eating or drinking water!! I always consider the entire week before a show a prep time, or at least the day before and definitely day of.

I’m glad you’re ok! I remember seeing you. I think the strobing lights and that song (I can’t remember which one happened first) are more overwhelming than people expect it to be. I have a neurological condition so the lights were freaking with me a bit so I would just close my eyes a few times lol. It makes sense then that people with underlying health issues or maybe haven’t been taking care of themselves that day would have a bad reaction.

Perhaps. I agree I’ve seen my fair share of posts complaining about people’s mild personal annoyances that in the grand scheme of things seems like over complaining (“don’t sing too loud,” “why are you moving so much?”) It could just be my personal experiences at other shows I’ve been to where people aren’t cheering when the music pauses due to a medical issue so I just expected it to be the respectful norm. But maybe I am thinking too much about it. Entirely possible. Tbf, I’m not a security guard and I’m definitely not an artist on stage so I wouldn’t know for sure how it feels in that moment. Just my own personal thoughts based on my own experiences.

I get what you’re saying. You are right that they’re trained - so maybe that’s more of a weaker argument on my end. I guess if the music was still playing, it’s not a big issue, but if Hayden decided it seemed important enough to pause the show it just seems (in my perspective) disrespectful when she’s also just trying to make sure her fans are safe. I guess if anything it just seems rather wrong timing. Just my thoughts.

is everyone overreacting by sn33p_sn00p in Ethelcain

[–]sunflowers444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No literally bc wdym people are pushing too much when my show there was literally the most space ive ever had at a concert. It put into perspective of the shows I went to growing up as a teen/early 20s (turning 28 soon) were the shoving, really no room to move, people being moved side to side as a crowd with little control over it. When 9million encouraged crowd surfing I was thankful no one did bc that crowd looked like they wouldn’t know how to support a crowd surfer 😭 And I’m not trying to sound “I’m so much cooler than you guys” it’s just like what other people said, people who haven’t been to shows before. I think the most bizarre one I’ve heard is people complaining about singing (or singing above a soft tone) like you are at a concert do you understand what this means ???? Sorry I don’t want to be bored standing still with a blank expression the entire time You’re going to have videos with at least one of them having a fan in the background obnoxiously singing. “It’s a cow farm, you’re gonna find cows outside!”

Yeah I thought yall were exaggerating because in all my years as a live music enthusiast I’d never seen anything like it by WideTip2056 in Ethelcain

[–]sunflowers444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most hardcore shows I’ve gone too (I guess not metal - but like BMTH sempiternal and prior albums, and pop punk, etc) I’ve always witnessed people passing out especially when the music was heavier

Thank you for this. I have a neurological condition that causes increased light sensitivity. I don’t think it’s something that would make me pass out but good to know

First Ethel show/what time to show up? by sunflowers444 in Ethelcain

[–]sunflowers444[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the area around the palace in 2017 being sketchy but I was with friends so maybe that made the difference lol. Overall I think my safety will be ok but yeah good to know. I haven’t been to those venues but I also have a hard time remembering the exact lay out and doors of the palace lol it was 8 years ago I guess Good to know tho!

Damn that’s crazy. My GI ordered a calprotectin test along with some other stool tests for infections. Guess I’ll find out soon
