Simple. I don’t go to see an artist live to stand in a crowd and listen to your conversations (which are loud because their is loud music playing..). I’m not going to give out and shout at anyone, but honestly, this might be my only time to see this person live and I’m hearing them 50% of the time and you talking about the new guys at work the other 50%.
Before anyone gets it twisted, no I don’t mind singing along, screaming, cheering etc. That’s part of the concert flow.

Going out and doing things absolutely is about socializing. Maybe listen to it with your Grados in your basement.
I recently went to a concert, my first in years, and in addition to the noisey chatting, I couldn’t get over how many people kept leaving their seats, disrupting everyone in the row, and heading out to presumably go to the toilet, or get drinks, or snacks in the middle of the performance. It was a two and a half hour concert with plenty of time to do all those things beforehand and seeing as they must have paid a fair amount for their tickets it was not only bizarre behaviour, it was super annoying.
Yet another opinion by a “person” who unironically goes watching shows at venues > 400pax cap and thinks that’s a cool thing to do
Most social redditor
We have been too lax for a while in teaching concert etiquette to children.
Omw, this happened to us earlier this year. Two guys would not stop talking in front of us! The whole section was getting irritated by the halfway mark. I tried reasoning with them at some stage, but drunk dickheads see no reason.
International acts rarely pass through my country, and tickets are usually crazy expensive. We saved up and counted down the concert for nearly a year. All I can remember of the whole evening is these two assholes!
Can someone explain to me how this is an unpopular opinion and not an unwritten rule of society?
What kind of concerts are you going to where the music doesn’t drown out the talking?
There should be a separate Reddit for “I don’t want other people to have fun the way they want to have fun. Everyone should have fun my way”
It’s one reason why I like going alone to see a band.
Ugh, that’s because half the people going to these concerts only know one or two songs so they’re literally bored through most of it. Unfortunately, I find that people who go to concerts the most don’t even care how much they like the band. I don’t ever go to a concert unless its someone I really listen to and know most, if not all, of their discography.
The social part happens when you emerge from your tent at 7 in the morning to drink some beers with the rest of the metalheads 12 hours before the show.
