1. trawlingthegrey: abloodymess: ever look out into the crowd? ——————————————— #10 is probably the most prevalent these days (at least on the floor/in the pit.) Remember when you went to things to actually enjoy them, rather than capturing them and uploading it (FIRST!!!) so that someone else could enjoy it? Jesus Christ. What the hell happened to us? #7 is definitely a bummer, and is usually someone who perches on the balcony, or in the very back of the venue for the first three songs, before heading home to write/submit said scathing review. Then they head out to do something much cooler, even if that something is nothing. #6 is usually made up of message board trolls who are easily uncovered because the internet is not private, and most of these trolls have links to their own musical endeavors linked to the profiles/emails they choose to troll from. Unwise. Everyone is listening. #1 is the guy that asks you to sign a burned CD after the show. Or the guy that asks you to sign a bootleg photo (or T) with a blue sharpie. HELLO eBAY! #2 is the guy who came to MOSH. He will MOSH at all costs, regardless of whether the songs being played are MOSH-worthy or not. If only a few songs are deemed MOSH-worthy by General Steakhead, he will carry-over his MOSH sesh into the remainder of the set, and effectively ruin the show for everyone. PREPOSTERONE!!! #8 is also someone that actually knows far less than he/she claims to know about the band and it’s inner-workings, and is a bizarre amalgamation of #10, #5, and #16/#6. #13 is usually bummed. Sorry. Not pictured: #17 (which is like a bonus #13, because “hit song” is arbitrary) is the person that thinks that yelling the name of one song during any/every break in the set will make said song get played any sooner, or AT ALL during a set. #16 is the best and much appreciated.
