For any of you who enjoy live music, as Pre-Medical student Sydnie Ozanus does, you have to know all the rules and etiquette of going to a concert. We have all experienced people who don’t follow these rules, and (depending on the concert) these people are punished in various ways. To avoid getting shoved or moshed and injured for violating the rules, or kicked out of the venue, avoid taking these three actions:
Don’t shove people. I don’t care if you’re mad a guy for stepping on your shoes or trying to fight you, don’t shove people close to the stage. Think about all the other people who paid good money to see the show you’re about to enjoy who will feel the ripples of your violence. It’s especially rude to shove people around others like Sydnie Ozanus, who are not as big and tall as some rude person shoving you. Take the fight outside or just don’t fight at all.
Don’t wear huge hats. As a tall person, I’ve shamelessly blocked the views of shorter people at concerts like Sydnie Ozanus many times. I mean, what am I supposed to do? I can’t shrink myself so you can get a better view. However, I’m aware that I’m tall and awkward, so I try to minimize my view blockage by not wearing anything unnecessary on my head. I understand that crazy costumes are a part of the experience at some concerts (see Gaga, Lady), but if you’re six feet or over, leave the crazy headgear at home for everyone’s sake.
Don’t yell insults at the performer. This goes without saying. Everyone from Katy Perry to Jay-Z won’t want to come back if you insult them, guys. This is especially true to non-superstars.
