Ped Thai

I'd like to know when the change from sitting down at concerts changed to standing up. Was it just because once they forgot to set up chairs? Was it a fad from the start? One of the things my mom doesn't understand about "my music" is why everyone stands up at concerts, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like you're giving the band a standing ovation the whole time. I mean, what do you do if they are terrible? Sit down?

Aside from the fact that constant show-goers will have planter fasciitis in a few years, another problem arises: what to do while standing. Now of course the answer to this question depends upon what type of show you go to.

Heavy Metal/Rock -- head bang
Country -- chew tobacky
Gospel -- clap
Rap -- smack your b---- up
Indie -- ...

At indie, we come to a conundrum. Should we stand there and sort of bob our head or should we Dance?! There are the kids that pretend not to be excited at a show and just sort of nod a few times, and then there are those who resort to shoulder shaking, hip swiveling, and clapping.

This man and I prefer to dance.
