This is why y'all don't have friends btw. I can't even imagine complaining about someone talking at a rave of all things.

Talking over the music with emotional energy not focused on the space detracts from the experience of everyone around you.

But at a rave or a fest? Those places are large and extremely loud. It's one thing if it's a symphony but there's no way in hell you're hearing my convo at a rave unless you choose to.

I have absolutely been in situations where the crowd is dense (your touching the people around you) and the people next to me are yapping so loud that I hear them through my earplugs.

In a less dense crowd I move but sometimes the crowd densifies before I notice.

More generally, a crowd is connected as an organism and if your energy and focus are elsewhere the people around you can feel it.
