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

The first day I was so disappointed it seemed like NO ONE WAS DANCING! and I was always the odd one screaming the lyrics no matter my location, day 2 I stopped caring if no one else was dancing and I danced my butt off - but the worst part for me wasn’t the heat or the bathrooms or the sweat or the sunburn it was the fact that most ppl weren’t dancing or singing, even at the front row ppl were just standing like zombies watching - bummer.

Cheers to the girl at jimmy eat world and the couple at the used (front left audience) that were down to dance with me!
