After the phone incident at Bebe Rexha’s concert, there seems to be this snowball effect of events where concertgoers forget how to act in public. Whether it’s bad or good - clout goblins are gonna look for any drop of attention they can get so they can post about it on social media. Especially if it's recognition from their favorite artist. “Fans” are embarrassing themselves at concerts just so their idol will give them the time of day. What better way to get their attention in a sea of faceless people than by attacking them. We’ve had Ava Max, Pink, Harry Styles, and Nmixx that had to deal with inappropriate behavior at live events. When The Chronically Online Attend Concerts #edvasian

No concert etiquette at ALL.

[@TacseraEpSekahs]

Yeah, that's a weird known fact, that metal concerts (though there are some wild stuff going on) have an overall better etiquette in the crowd. While pop, k-pop or rap can get into a truly mayhem. There's bunch of stories of not only artists, but also fans in the crowd being hurt because of bad crowd behavior.

[@CaulkMongler]

I think it’s bc main character syndrome is almost central to the kpop experience. The idea that you have a level of ownership over the artist, that you as an individual or sometimes fanclub can gatekeep an artists true/fake fans or *deserve* to act a particular way at a concert bc you’ve “earned” it.

[@boopyournose5698]

@@anotherhuman3221 I'm strongly against throwing things on stage unless the artist makes eye contact with you and asks for it to be thrown. We saw that 'trend' multiple times with BTS. Back in wings tour members were getting hit by plushies and quite a few times they landed right in their eyes. In order for them to land that far, you actually have to use force not just throw it lightly. Then PTD, they were hit with roses. and with hit, I mean they actually landed in their faces which is not respectful in any way. And luckily most armies slammed those people in comments so later we saw only flowers that members were ready to catch being thrown. The huge difference between figure skaters and concerts is that for flowers to land on the ice, which is much lower than you, you don't have to use as much force as for them to land on the stage when you are lower than the object you're aiming at. Another difference, people don't aim AT figure skater when throwing flowers. Somehow they aim AT or close to the artist.

When I went to the BTS PTD Las Vegas concert last year, people were throwing things at the members when they went around on trolleys. At the day I went (D3), ARMY had campaigned beforehand to get ppl to stop, and even Namjoon said “don’t throw things at us” right before getting onto the carts, but one idiot in my section (112) still threw a bouquet of flowers at them as they passed by, narrowly missing Jin’s injured hand (he had just had surgery before the concerts and it was wrapped up in a bandage). Apparently the rest of ARMY in her vicinity screamed at her afterwards and made her so uncomfortable that she left. Really upsetting that she could’ve further injured Jin’s hand with her idiocy. This kind of unhinged behavior has gotten so much worse since 2020. I think it’s due to a combination of a ramping up of entitlement, main character syndrome, not knowing or caring about appropriate social behavior, and the rise of social media and clout-chasing. It’s disgusting and needs to stop.

[@XxxPaulaXxx123]

In the netherlands, we had a period where 'beer-contracts' were very popular among artists. It had apparently become a trend for people to throw their entire beercup incl. beer at performers' faces, so the contracts would state that if that happened, the artist had the right to end the concert right then and there. In one case an artist got thrown beer at him within the first minute of the show and so he just went 'well thanks, 30 seconds on stage and i made 10.000 bucks, goodnight everyone' and then he just left and didn't come back. The beer-contracts were pretty controversial, because on the one hand it is very valid for artists to be like 'if yall start throwing shit at me i'm out', but on the other hand it also meant that sometimes hundreds or even thousands of people would be screwed over by one single person who made a shitty choice and ofc none of them would get their money back either. This ofc also caused problems for the venues etc. and there were also rumours that some artists just paid someone in the crowd to throw the beer so they'd legally be allowed to call it an early night. Haven't heard about the beer-contracts in a long time, so I'm assuming they're not much of a big deal anymore? But it's an interesting concept either way and I think esp if you get stuff chucked at your head like a phone, an artist would be 100% validated in getting off the stage and not coming back tbh...

Although, there was a another parent in front of us that had a young child, that at least 5 or 6 (maybe even younger).

@@ninas8210 yep. in the rock and metal scene, getting bottled on stage if you were a smaller artist or if people for some reason didn't like you, was a real risk. most of my favourite artists have gotten bottled in concerts in the early 2000s, when being in the crowd was honestly a safety concern because the crowds were insane and roudy. i've never experienced the more extreme concerts like those, since i was a baby when those happened, but the artists have said that they won't play at certain festivals or venues again, because seeing the crowd get into fights or throwing them bottles to harm them was traumatic.

As a chronically online concert goer, this is why I enjoy going to most metal concerts. Sure we have mosh pits, x-rated headthrashing, and bring our kids. But the artists always make sure ppl have enough time to get in/get out of the pit before it starts; additionally, if someone falls, we always make sure to help them up so they won't get stampeded in a mosh pit. We offer each other bottles of water supplied by security, and give ppl space to leave when they're not feeling well. The last metal concert I attended, these parents brought their sleeping kid and she had on noise-cancelling headphones. They were safetly tucked away in a corner at the front. One of the guitarists actually played an entire solo in front of her when she woke up. Metal fans are great, chaotic good people

[@bottomofastairwell]

big concerts can be a lot of fun. but they can also be a nightmare, depending on the crowd. qand honestly, my favorite shows have been always been smaller ones, where theres a few hundred people MAX. because when the gigs are that small, usually the only people there are people who are fans of the artist, or who just want to enjoy the music. not people who are there just to take videos for tiktok so they can jump on the hype train and rake in the likes. and the crowds are a lot more chill, since there's not really a big crowd. plus, at small gigs, you usually get to meet the artists cuz things aren't too crazy and there's not that many people. iv'e had so many awesome experiences like that, where there were like 50 ish people and we all had a good time, and then i get to say hi and talk to the band. even went to a gig a month ish ago where there were only like 14 people. and the singer hung out with people after. when the venue closed, he let some folks (me included) go out to the parking lot and hang on the tour bus for a little bit, and then we all went to the local bar to grab a few drinks. it was really cool just to meet him and chat. had another gig like that where i got to meet the whole band, get a ton of stuff signed, and the lead singer even designed my new tattoo (which is amazing, cuz that's my fave band ever!) anyway, if you wanna go to shows, find out what the local, small venues are in your area, or in the city nearest you, and look up what they've got going on. that way you can enjoy a show that's not overwhelming, be in a crowd of people who are actually there for the music and not the "celeb" factor. and you can even have some really cool experiences with artists

People who never seen each other before are moshing, and hugging and just have a good time. Maybe it's different in the U.S. but my German experience is flawless.

[@bottomofastairwell]

no, metal is the same here. i think it might be a genre thing. because yeah, i've been in moshpits and gotten knocked down a lot. but that's what you're in a mosh pit FOR. and people always pick you back up, and make sure you're okay. that's just the metal community. they don't do stuff like throwing crap at the band. us metalheads might be crazy and a bit violent, but it's all good, healthy, reasonable violence. no one is actually trying to hurt anyone. and on the few occasions i've seen people get hurt, EVERYONE immediately stops to help and take care of that person. so i think it really is about the genre of music. metal has always been a somewhat smaller, more niche genre, so the community isn't just anyone, it's people who appreciate that music and want to see artists they love. And because metal isn't as popular, people are there for the MUSIC, not just to take a 30 second video for tiktok, so they can rake in the likes, you know? i think that's the difference. With HUGE, mainstream genres though, you get people doing crazy stuff like this, disrespecting artists and just generally being awful, because they're not going for the music. They're going to take videos for insta or because it's popular. honestly, it makes me happy i listen to a genre that isn't as mainstream, because i would hate to have to deal with that crap all the time. i've only seen a little of it, at shows like Bad Omens or Pierce the Veil, because they blew up on tiktok.

My main demographic are metal/rock shows tho, and the average age of the crowd is definitely slightly higher than it is with pop/kpop/indie shows, at least from what I've seen and heard (correct me if im wrong lol), so theres more issues with people not being energetic enough than batshit insane and throwing dangerous or crazy stuff at the performers.

I know people tend to be very spiteful towards the rich but before you get your feathers all ruffled up, I'm only speaking interms of how they're treated or viewed mentally, not materialistically or physically.

@@cherryj1425 lack of sympathy towards those that are “superior” to the rest of us doesn’t give you a morale boost, and not all rich people are immoral. We can’t decide how we’re born, otherwise everyone would choose to be born into an upper class society, and poor people would cease to exist in our world. That being said, some people are just simply born into money, sometimes it’s generational wealth, sometimes they’ve worked super hard to earn all their wealth ( new money ) and some even get their wealth from doing underground work, or illegal organizations etc. If the law manages to wield authority over these people who got rich through illegal tactics and punish them, then it’s a win win for everyone. Being spiteful towards anyone with more money or wealth than us for spite-sake doesn’t benefit anyone.

I can't understand how this people can just throw objects into someone's face, doesn't really matter if they are a celebrity or not. When it comes to my favorite artists the last thing I would want to do is to make them uncomfortable in any way, even unintentionally, not even to mention physically hurting them.

[@mxdnxght_moor]

I mostly listen to rock/metal/alt and i gotta say that the most unhinged things i've seen thrown on stage are a goat plushie thrown at Ghost (makes sense if you know the band), a t-shirt, and a bra. still weird but no one was hurt

Who even brings a baby that young to a concert??

deranged people. the question is: WHY were they allowed to bring a baby?

I went to a K-pop concert, it was to go see G-Dragon. When buying a bottle of water or soda, you got it without a cap. Thymes didn’t want people throwing them onstage. lol

Ayeee g dragon

[@private755]

I don’t think it’s a recent trend.. it happened at my first concert in the early 2000s as an in joke from the die hards throwing shoes at the band.. even the Sex Pistols were spit at and vomited on on stage by their own fans

[@roxyndra]

"if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you jump off it too?" is what pops into my head watching these -kids- _adults_ follow ridiculous trends

[@petiaivailova2563]

If this is happening, perhaps no audience should be allowed near the stage at all. They will stand 20 meters away and if they don't like it, don't go.

[@silververnallbells191]

Sometimes artists throw or even kick things off stage. Imagine if they didn't recognize it was a baby & just automatically kicked it off stage!

[@annikid7010]

I remember seeing Toots and the Maytals like 10 years ago in Zürich...incredible high energy gig, and Toots was obvs an old man at this stage. Later on in another city, he was hospitalised because someone threw a GLASS VODKA BOTTLE right at his head...this was before social media was as huge as it was now but...I guess my takeaway is that drunk people are dicks everywhere, always

[@TealKawi208]

Concert etiquette has gone downhill so badly in the last few years. I’ve gotten into almost fights with people bc they either try to push their way to the front or want like 5 feet of room in the pit. I’ve had people drop drinks on me, had guys grope me, had (very) underage kids ask me for drinks(then get mad when I refuse). Even when sitting down(in a sit down area due to heat and working a full shift before) had people practically climb on me. Even watched a girl pass out from a medical issue and no one would move for emts to access her. It’s ridiculous. I don’t go to any anymore

[@wyltedleaves]

I haven't been to a concert in nearly 10 years and seeing this video...I'm good.

And even after all of this, I saw a kpop fandom planning to through paperplanes on stage as a "fandom project". I hate people.

[@JamesLawner]

My mom once gave to a singer a box of wafer biscuits, but she didn’t throw it at the stage or at the singer, she gave it to a guy who was managing the concert/stage who would then give it to the singer. I don’t understand why people have lost all basic decency and any sense of sensitivity, like this is some elementary classroom nonsense! If people can’t behave themselves at concerts, then they shouldn’t attend. Because of BS like this, people won’t be allowed to take their phones to concerts anymore or stages would have to be fitted with plexiglass protection so incidents like the ones mentioned in the vid never happen.

Anyone who takes an infant to a contemporary music concert should be visited by CPS during the concert.

[@lostgallifreyan6436]

I've been to small-scale concerts after the Houston Rodeo, and they were chaotic. Not quite people rushing the stage, but still people showing that they have no self-respect. In contrast, I went to a Stray Kids concert, and while STAYs were loud, everyone was orderly, respectful when the artists were speaking, and even the merch lines were fairly chaos-free.

[@sammiejeanne3846]

damn if people want to give their favourite artist a gift (as long as it's appropriate and not weird) they can buy a meet and greet pass or see if the artist is doing a meet and greet after the show and hanging out with fans (for smaller artists). like i'm sure they enjoy getting fan art from people - if they are okay with it (as long as its appropriate ofc). idk how many times i am saying appropriate but it seems to be a key word with my message. like throwing stuff on stage makes things such a dangerous hazard and people could get seriously hurt/injured! i have been to smaller shows where people who are wasted asf have climbed up on stage while the artist is performing and its just why???? this happened when i was at a perturbator (darksynth/synthwave) show

[@krisdiane]

They're just going to stop allowing people to carry anything in with them. Honestly, no phones at concerts is exactly what people deserve. Just watch the show.

Reminds me of how Ghost's fans made it their goal to throw Ikea rats at the lead singer and his support at every concert. It's all fun and games until you see these items hit Tobias' face. One time some idiot throw an entire rubber ball at him and it made the lead fall on stage. I think he should address it more.
