How often do you go to concerts? Do you go to local shows? Do you buy merch?

Never. I can't stand the crowds and the loud music. And I don't appreciate the crowds singing and screaming on top of the music either. I've been to concerts like two times in my life just because others insisted so much I joined them, and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be.

I'm just not cut for them.

I don't think I bought band related merch ever, but I've seen some really cool stuff so that is something I would consider if the opportunity presented itself.

I feel you. I go to concerts IN SPITE of the crowds. ๐Ÿ˜† And I have not set foot in a stadium in 12 years and I'm not planning to ever again. Theatre, pub or no go.

And I always always always wear earplugs. The good kind, not the pharmacy kind, cause those just make the loud music sound like muffled music.
