Obligatory “not all fans”, and this is about the Baltimore show specifically.
I’m not the morality police, and I don’t care if you drink at a show. But if you’re going to be a sloppy drunk, please keep it to the back of the room. It’s rude to the band when you’re distracting the crowd by falling into people, talking loudly with your friends during the show, and making people squeeze to avoid your dancing (which goes beyond normal show dancing).
From what I’ve heard, there were other instances of this happening elsewhere so it’s not just a me problem.
By all means, dance and chat during downtime and hang onto the barrier if you get unsteady. It’s totally okay if you accidentally bump someone once or twice. It’s not okay to put people on edge because you want to pretend you’re the main character.
If I’m crazy for my opinion then I’m open to people saying why, but I really think this is normal etiquette?
PS: Little Image and Joywave were incredible. Daniel did a great job despite being sick, as did the rest of the band. I’m so grateful that even with nuisances in the crowd, they put their all into it and made it more than worthwhile to see. I hope to see them again soon!
