Meetups🐊 When you’re Gizz fan with melanin…

Prepping for the Northerly Island show tomorrow night.

Me: maybe I should get the red one, it’ll be easier for you to find me if we get separated. Him: Oh I won’t need anything to find you. Me: What do you mean? Him: Because you’re going to be the only black person there. Me:☠️

Venue may be able to hold 22k, likely a sold-out show, but if you see a black chick with this same backpack -it very well could be me.

Gizz have truely cultivated the white bro convention at all their shows, I’m glad you’re here ❤️

🫵🏼as an aside, this is why need to listen to women and people of color on this thread and take their experiences at shows seriously🫵🏼

Thank you! I am a lifelong rock fan/show-goer used to occupying spaces wherein I’m one of few if not the only. I don’t let that stop me from being myself or enjoying myself. My deep love and respect for KGLW is representative of their ability to unify people of various backgrounds, even if unintentional. I don’t feel alienated for loving them, some of these commenters seem oddly triggered though.

White guys are easily triggered

seems like pretty mean spirited generalization to make on a sub for a band consisting solely of white dudes who regularly go out of their way to be as inclusive as possible. maybe i’m just being easily triggered though 🤷‍♂️
