The J-thing's Guide: How To Jam At A Teeny-bopper Concert

[jemauvais]

Just came back from the Paramore concert, thanks to marajaded who got me tickets to go (woohoo!)

When I asked around whether people were interested in going, most of the answers went along the lines of: "Who's that???"  So I was quite surprised when I turned up and saw quite a big turnout:



Ah I know why... because they're all kids! -_-  EL was saying that if we took the median age of the crowd and multiplied it by 2, we'd be just below that.






My goodness, Hayley Williams can really jump around a lot.  I was also pretty amused by the large number of teenage girls who had to be carried out after they got crushed in the almighty scrum at the front centre of the mosh pit.  And of course, by the Constellation of the little white squares:



As expected, the moment they started 'The Twilight Song', the crowd went mad:



But what I found most amusing of all, was how the kids were jamming to the concert, teeny-bopper style.  So if ever you're again caught in a teeny-bopper concert surrounded by kids nearly half your age, don't be alarmed and just do one of the following to fit in:
