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

Going to a local HC show

Get ya ass beat, but in like a brotherly loving way. Jump off the stage, steal the mic and let your favorite lyrics rip. Unmatched energy anywhere else on planet Earth. People are always surprised at how much fun they have

You can’t really repeat it of course but it was a nice moment

Checking out acquaintances' art

It's the key to making the whole thing work -- listen to the album some guy you met in Ohio sent you; watch the short film that the 22-year old you met at KGB DM'd you; show up to the screening if you can. It can seem like a nuisance cuz you can't see what P4k rated it and Taylor Swift or whoever isn't involved and you'll have no reaction to lean on but your own. But it's the key to staying passionate and making friends and keeping this whole DIY ecosystem working.

”no more parties in la” - kanye

I was playing Elliott Smith as per ush (uje? ushe?) and Bets said she couldn’t handle any more sad music so as a joke I threw on this 2016 Ye classic. Turns out it’s still the best song ever and I still know every word. Plus, what a lyric: “When did I become A-list? I wasn’t even on a list.” Story of my life!!!!!!
