I agree with what you say, but put it this way: good for you that you were that independent and capable, but most 14yo aren't. Yes, concerts should offer all guarantees, but what you think that my parents would have done if they were with me in that concert and saw all the insanity happening? They would've made me leave and that could have saved my life.
A good parent would tag along and promise to not tell anyone what was said or done. They’re just there for safety, and it’s a rap concert. Sending a white 14 year old to a rap concert with parental supervision is insanity, without it is suicide. And do they not know what kind of lyrics Travis Scott has or what he represents? His music is shit and his shows have been dangerous in the past.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Thinking back on it I'm ASTOUNDED my parents did that. My kids will certainly be much more supervised than I was.
People at metal concerts are not stupid, if you fall down in the pit somebody always picks you up, the most common injury is just a busted lip, that's all.
This is why I dislike concerts.
Yeah it's rare but on occasion at bigger events there's supposedly been occasional deaths. Supposedly.
One of the stranger developments of my lifetime is that pop rap production ended up sounding like the experimental electronic music I listened to late 90s/early 00's. Reference point:
That whole concert and subsequent shitshow is modern American society in a nutshell. Every video was disturbing to see; I cannot imagine BEING there. Who gets sued and by who? Travis Scott, AstroWorld, security, the fans? The next concert will definitely have precautions to prevent this.
This meme just keeps getting better everyday.
No it doesn’t. I remember a decade or so ago when I went to a Tiesto concert, back when Tiesto didn’t sell out, and none of this happened. People were seated and danced by their seats in the outer areas of the arena, and the people in the center partied and were in control of themselves.
Next concert? Oh you.
I'm not talking about AstroWorld. Any future concert anywhere will have to step their security up after this one.
Most do. This is far from the first crush at a concert and what to do to prevent it is very well known. These people just ignored them and half-assed it all. Treated it like a preseason Texans game. That is why they are going to get sued into oblivion.
I don't know much about AC/DC's music but The Who had quite strong, positive spiritual themes in their music - especially once their concept album Tommy was written. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey both rejected the use of drugs (the former because of his religious beliefs and the latter because they just didn't interest him). Keith Moon, their drummer was (in)famous for being a wild partier and prankster but that was just his personality in general and privately was known to be a wonderful human being (according to his friend and all-around class act Alice Cooper). Their bassist John Entwistle (one of the best in the business) was known to be quite reserved as well.
Well he was just identified by his dad, his name is axel Acosta
I dunno man, the axe makes me think he's some kind of jugalo
I feel bad for all the victims. I’m curious though: have they all been white or Hispanic so far? Seems weird to me that we haven’t seen any black people in the deceased considering they were a large % of the attendees.
