I think people are reading condemnation in comments above and that wasn’t really intended or the point. People should absolutely enjoy gigs whatever way they like, but the point was it’s almost become an unspoken rule at gigs that you’re expected to behave a certain way, which is a little different.

I worry my generation of gig promoter might just call it a day and settle down and that will be the end of gigs for me, especially smaller scale local gigs

If (younger) people asked us oldies if we mind if they dance, the answer will be ‘no, dance your knees away with our blessing’.
It’s all projection.
haha come on, you’ve never been to a gig where someone’s been getting the evil eye for being a little tipsy or dancing/swaying? I think it’s probably human nature and maybe even unavoidable but still, it’s unfortunate.

Reckon if you make songs young gig goers want to dance to they’ll dance. See;
black midi - live at the Lexington, 03/05/2022 - YouTube from 47:46 for example

Going to spice up this ignored take and say The Black Hole Understands is their 2nd best album.
Shoegaze peaked with Silversun Pickups.

I just couldn’t believe anyone thought that.
I’m genuinely confused by the lack of attention it gets, I think it’s their most exciting and consistent one by far.
What a way to start an album:
As a rebuttal to all the live comments above, I fucking hate dance fascists at gigs that demand you experience the gig exactly like they want to. I like head nodding and maybe bouncing on my toes, but that’s all the movement I want to give, thanks.

Gigs are boring when you’re sober and really fun when you’re drunk

There are more ideas that are more interesting and creative in Country House than Bohemian Rhapsody and it just gets a bad rap because of the video.
