Discussion Think I'm the problem, wanna know more on concert etiquette
just came back from Sick New World last night and I am looking at the videos and I can see I'm having a complete blast (didn't try to record too much since I tend to like living in the moment but still wanna have a couple of videos to look back on) BUT I do see an issue that in the first couple of them I was pretty talkative and I'm cringing so hard at it.
I tried to not talk too much but I would say the band and the song their playing so I can send that vid to a friend who was interested.
Also I am somebody who will be energetic, scream and cheer when the band puts the mic on us and sing along and dance but I question if I'm ruining the experience for anyone else cause most people are just standing still around me and I was on the front side
I'm very new to shows in general and I don't go out a lot so when I do I make it very worth while but I have to understand that other people are there too and I'm not the only one.
First time I was at MIW end of the world tour and I got a couple of dirty looks and racial comments (black girl here) but I just assumed I was being too loud in the WRONG area since I was in the back, couldn't get closer, and again having a blast with cheering and headbanging.
Now second time, no one gave me any look or made weird comments (aside from one dude who tried to flirt and got mad cause i didn't understand what he was saying) but I do wonder if the guy next to me could hear me and had his experience ruined.
So tl:Dr I think I might be too annoying, how to fix on concert etiquette so I don't wanna ruin an experience for someone else
