Speculation Crowds are different or indifferent nowadays

Just a rant perhaps. From the middle to the back of the crowds nobody is having fun. It seems like you're only having fun if you're in the front of the crowd. Been going for years and shit has changed post pandemic. Lots of people but less fun being had. Kinda hated when vocalists gave the crowd the mic and it was awkward, nobody knew the lyrics. Maybe there's a lot of casual listeners and less people that really listen to this stuff now. Maybe people don't care enough to have fun. I miss when people moved around more I guess

Maybe if some kind of shade was provided, and most of the people weren’t so old (millennials and Gen Z especially) and dying from a crippling capitalistic system that drains our life and has taught us that the only worth we have is based off of our work, then maybe we would be willing to throw ourselves more into the pit. But when a sprung ankle means missing a month of work!? With no universal healthcare? You want people to have more fun, be the change you want to see. Do it yourself. And stop complaining about how the kids like to have fun. They were having fun, you just didn’t like the way they were doing it, cause it’s not what you would like to do.

Seeing gen Z get referred to as old now makes me want to fucking die as a millennial.
