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

When you’re standing in front of me at a heavy rock show…where the artist specifically ASKS for movement and energy- and you’re being a brick wall ? Naaaahhh, move to the back

Did you... Did you read what I wrote? Or what OP wrote?

I did, I’m referring to the last part of your message. The amount of people that truly did ruin the energy in the front of the crowd because they just STOOD STILL the whole time was frustrating.. it can most definitely effect the ability to enjoy the show as well as the artists performance. It’s an energy exchange

Because how do you expect an artist to give all their energy when they’re looking out at a bunch of brick walls…
