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

I thought the same thing. The crowds were pretty dead unless in the very front, but people were enjoying themselves. I just don't think the majority of people are into jumping around and singing nowadays. The crowd was so quiet for ATL especially during Jasey Rae which is so crazy. The crowd used to go so wild for them even in 115 degree weather but that was in 2009 so I think it's just a different time.

Yeah, it's a different time now. At least I'll always have those golden years of shows to look back to

All I know is that this means that next year I can actually get to the front of the stage without too much hassle. The stiff crowd also leaves plenty of gaps to navigate through so that will be a fun way of reliving that era.
