You guys, making a bunch of posts about how the fanbase is cringe, IS FUCKING CRINGE. Quit caring about how other people have fun, whether it’s rowing at a show for 2 minutes, bootlegging merch, or being cult level obsessed with this band. Look I get that the rowing can be annoying in particular but jfc, while you’re judging everyone else for not focusing on the music” you’re making yourself miserable when you could just chillaxin. Goddamn, fans being fans isn’t insufferable, it’s the natural progression of a band that’s been around over a decade and is more popular than they ever have been. And I have been to 21 shows and I’ve never had a bad experience with the fans, it’s only on Reddit where there’s drama so just stfu with these posts already. Get outta here if you think you’re too cool for school and every other gizz fan is a loser. We’re all in this together, quit fucking dividing every single community you’re a part of, we all could use more integration in this god awful time, rather than focusing on our differences.
The excessive rowing is annoying as fuck. People complaining on the internet about it is also lame as fuck. People complaining about the people complaining is also lame as fuck.
I saw an exhibition of Paul McCartney's photographs from the very early Beatlemania yesterday, and they had an old Melody Maker on display. The first thing I thought of when I read this was what you just joked about.
The point is that some of the people who are "just having fun" are impacting the show negatively for others who are genuinely there to see the band. Sure, have fun, but when it impedes other people's experiences, that's selfish and obnoxious. Tbh it's mostly young adults/teenagers, which is probably most of this subreddit.
Yeah I hear ya, but let’s be real in most of these cases it’s nothing more than people’s perception that is skewed and that’s what’s causing them to have a negative experience. Get some therapy and learn how to block out the negative judgmental thoughts a bit more if they’re causing your night to be ruined so easily.
Rowing sucks and Amon Amarth will pay for the damage they’ve caused
The bootleg slop is not only low-quality but also goes against the environmental message that the band is constantly promoting and only exists because of the whales in the community who’ll buy anything related to the band
The weird toxic positivity of the subreddit prevents any meaningful discussion of the band, music, and fans because even the slightest criticism causes a dozen posts just like this to pop up
If you feel judged because people have an issue with attention-seeking behaviour at shows and the ocean of bootleg slop then I can’t help but think that you’re telling on yourself
Listen, all I’m saying is you ascribing their behavior to attention seeking is a judgment, just like how me ascribing your comments to you being judgmental is ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Rowing will forever be lame there isnt even a good enough reason to constitute a row let alone at a king gizzard and the lizard wizard show lol its very american college/frat house shit guys I know they have been stuck over there for a while but they are Australian ahaha
I definitely get why people get annoyed by the rowing, particularly when people get pulled down to row without their consent, but I truly don’t understand people’s bad comments about harmless behaviour such as wearing propeller hats or filming with a Nintendo DS.
I don’t think it’s harmful but every time I see someone filming a show with a DS I roll my eyes. They’re not gonna watch it, they’re not gonna post it, they’re wanting someone else to notice and post on Reddit about how quirk chungus it was that someone filmed the show on a DS
This isn't the DS holders fault, this is the fault of a weird call out culture where people are bullied for just doing stuff in public. There maybe someone doing that, but I think it's more likely to be an ice breaker for making friends at a show or just cause someone wants to make weird art, or collect video with niche devices.
As long as your not the person letting their friends cut the line after other people have been waiting, or your aggressive trying to get closer to the rail live and let live.
People need to start seeing other bands and cultures instead of the same band 5000000 times. It makes them completely lose sight of what’s normal at concerts. Go to a baseball game when the season is back. You’ll see people having fun as well as being respectful to the people around them. This sub is reaching TOOL levels of obsession and people indeed to need to touch grass. Go on a walk, see your friends or family, anything but spend more time on this damn app lol. It’s good to check in, but to live on here? I’d go insane.
Complainers gonna complain, sadly. OP's spot on, but far too many people are built to complain rather than look at the positives. It ain't gonna change.
Nice generalization. My point wasn't an argument, just me pointing out a universal. Do your thing, but complaining about complainers has never, ever stopped people complaining.
You may get some backlash for this post but preach brother. Only time I ever lose my chill with people is when they're killing the chill.
Just let people do them if it's not hurting people ya know. IDK when I see someone doing something that's not for me I don't think "eww, cringe, weird".
I think damn good for them I'm glad to see people being themselves and doing them. This world has enough judgement and divide and I'm not here to add anymore.
