going to local shows

i just went to my first punk show in my city, since a friend of mine’s band was playing and he invited me. it was at 8pm at a coffee shop, and i felt very out of place at first among these people who are so much more incredibly cool than me. then, the music started, and i realized that i was headbanging just like everyone else. girls asked me to hold their things when they went to mosh, and i helped people up off the floor when they fell in the pit. it was a very unifying experience and i met lots of real weirdos (which i love). highly recommend

The regrettes

I was 15 when I went to this show. It was in San Francisco at August Hall. Greer opened. I was so inspired. I wanted to be just like them. I wore my new Doc Martens and I felt so cool. I met the drummer and couldn't wait to post this photo:

Read the room/learn about the room first

I just went to a Fontaines DC show and it was really great, but I had such a weird experience with the crowd. I think a lot of new fans don’t realize that this band came out of an Irish punk movement, and their concerts will thus come with punk fans. People who wanted more a more poppy ambience after hearing a few singles like starburster and favorite seemed visibly disappointed that people were jumping around in the front. If you listen to any earlier music, especially the first two albums, you can assume that the concert will lean more punk. The dirty looks, the refusal to move at all, and the lead singer having to hype people up to get the rest of the crowd to move all in all was just really weird and not in the spirit of the night. It’s okay if you don’t wanna mosh or even move, but hype up your fellow friends who do and leave the judgment at home

Home before MIDNIGHT

Don’t get me wrong, I love a debaucherous night on the town into the early hours of a new day but I also love being home, face washed, teeth brushed, pjs on, in bed before midnight. I spent enough dollars, I drank enough, my social battery was used an appropriate amount, and now its time for me to reward myself for a job well done and to return to my habitat
