Needles & Grooves

This has been happening for decades but it's definitely become more amplified recently. Like it or not, we're waist deep in a 'me' society.

This kind of nonsense has been happening in my area for at least 10 years. Louder the music, the louder the talking.

Do you think it's worse since lock down? I feel like some people have forgotten social etiquette in general, never mind just at concerts.

I think it’s def gotten worse after lockdown, in a lot of aspects…

I have seen much more people just talking or not being respectful of those around them. Either standing right in front of people with no regard for the other people's view, or just not keeping personal space in their little groups forcing other folks to move. Also much more PDA at the 4 shows I've been to so far this year.

Echoing my brah. Don’t come to a show in Las Vegas. I’ve seen shows stopped by bands because the talking is too loud. It was shocking when I moved to Louisiana and saw shows in Houston. Night and Day.

I thought maybe I was getting old. I’ve seen Isbell and Mountain Goats both stop shows because people directly in front of the stage wouldn’t shut up. Pretty sure last time I saw Jayhawks there were as many people facing away from the stage as facing it.
