I’ve always been a big concert goer, now I just watch YouTube videos and blog about music. I used to go to about at least three concerts a month, but then I got older and now have more responsibility. When I do go to concerts I am the person who is there for the music and for the music only. I don’t go there to get into the crowds, to mosh pit or pick fights like a lot of other people do nowadays which I find really annoying. It seems like there always have to be people at every show that make it hard to enjoy. I came up with a list of five things that you or anybody else shouldn’t do at a concert.

Don’t slam crowd surfers into the ground or punch them for no reason. Yes, I agree crowd surfers are really annoying, but that doesn’t give anybody the right to hurt them. Sometimes people crowd surf to get out of the crowd so they can breathe again. I’ve seen way to many people do stuff like this for no apparent reason.

Don’t throw your beverage everywhere this includes in bottle form or liquid form. This is one I feel really irritating with bands and fans. By bands I mean them spitting or throwing stuff off the stage into the crowd. A lot of people choose to go to the bar at concerts and some people choose not to. I don’t care if you drink or not, but if you do please don’t throw your alcoholic beverage off the balcony for numerous reasons. Mainly because it stinks and gets everything sticky. This also goes for soda and everything else in a bottle or liquid form.

Don’t head bang if you have no head room. By this I mean that if you’re in a really crowded area at the concert and don’t have space to move then don’t push the person in front of you to bang your head. Somebody once actually hit me in the head by doing this and it did not feel to good.

Don’t pick fights in the mosh pit. If you are into mosh pitting it’s not a place to pursue your tendencies to be violent. Too many people go to shows to fight for nothing. If you want to fight that’s your business but let people enjoy the show.

Don’t throw hard objects or attack the stage to get to a band. A band that I like just recently got attacked by a crowd of people rushing the stage because they didn’t like the frontman. Whether you like the band or not it gives you no reason to ruin the concert that somebody else has been dreaming of.

Basically it all comes down to not being stupid or disrespectful. I understand that people don’t always get along but I like to think as concerts as a place to get away not to fight. I assume that most people buy tickets to see a band play because they like that band not because they hate them and want to taunt them. If everybody would actually take into account what is written in this article so I can once again enjoy going to concerts. If you just want to go to the concert to start stuff please stay home.
