As you all know, we always like to let people to do whatever they want to do (why? because we are not their Mother). Anyway, Have you ever wondered why people love to tweet or share continuously on social medias while they are seeing some live shows? We’ve been wondering too, but then we realized that we do that a lot (because we are doing some live-tweet on our Twitter since we are a media). How about some regular crowd who always tweet while they are at concerts? Some people say they should stop doing it and get their eyes more on the show instead of their phone screen. However, in this article we will give you six reasons of why it’s okay to update social media at concerts.

1. Your followers need to know you are there

Yes, your followers need to know that you are currently having a good time by seeing your favourite band (or not so favourite)’s live show. And they seriously have to know that you’re not at home, killing your time by doing something that is not cool.

2. Your friends who can’t be at the show count on your live report

Not everyone can go to a music concert. So, for those of you who can make it, let’s be a generous person and share your experience to those who can’t come by doing some live reviews on your social media! Make sure you update what song that the band is currently performing and when the band has finished the set, you have to let people on your timeline to know that the show has ended. Isn’t it great to let people know what you’re eyes currently seeing?

3. You need to have at least one good moment on your social media account

Maybe, most of the things that you posted on Twitter, Facebook, or Path has been something that is not even fun. Such as, “I’m studying now.” or “I just got home and gonna git the hay soon!”. Now, let’s put some sugar and spark on your timeline by adding “I’m at this band’s concert now! So fu**ing awesome. Rocks!”. People will think your life less boring. Hooray!

4. It’s the best time to harvest ‘Likes’ and ‘Loves’

For some people, having their posts to be liked on social media is a big deal. So, one of the best times to get the attention and get those little pale blue thumbs on Facebook is by posting your concert moments! (And it’s very important for Path users, the point of this social media is to do some humble brag to their circular friends. Hello ‘loves’!). We know how good it is when you see notifications saying “xxxx liked your post”. High five?

5.You actually don’t listen to the bands and social media is the best way to act nonchalant

Do you really think the 1000 audiences listen to the band who perform? Nope. Some of them don’t. They probably get free tickets (or their relatives are the organizer so they are invited) and when they are there, they totally have no idea what the band’s music is all about. Therefore, scroll to the little icons of your favourite social media platform, and voila, you look busy now.

And the last reason why it’s okay to update media at concerts….

6. It’s your social media account, and no one has a legit right to bother what you are posting on it

They may say you don’t enjoy the show. But, who cares about what they are saying. You are allowed to post as many or as often as you want. If you are comfortable to update your social media while you are at some concert, do it. We know sometimes people have to pour their overexcited feelings on social media and we find there’s nothing wrong with that.

So you’ve gout our six reasons of why it’s okay to do social media at concerts. It’s obvious this article is just for fun (and you don’t have to take it seriously, yet we’ll find some people who will take it seriously. and like what we’ve said earlier, we love to let people to do anything they want to do. It’s cool if you want to keep it old school by throwing your phone and just enjoy the show, and it’s also cool if you want to do some major update on your social media. The point of a concert is you can have fun in your own way, as long as you are having fun!

1.      Make Yourself Look Busy

The best way to make yourself appear busy is having your phone at all times. This is one of the reasons why tech savvies created Path, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, to get yourself out of the boredom. Phone is a great distraction especially when you’re waiting for the concert to start. But make sure you have saved up enough battery or bring along its charger (sometimes at a concert’s booth, you can find an electrical plug), if your battery is drained, you are at a dead-end.

2.      Find A Fellow Single Fighter

“I am single, you’re single, then we can mingle”, this can be applied when you are alone at a concert. In doing this, you just have to use your mingling skill and act nicely. Use general jokes or something that you’re good at to ice-break the situation, if you’re scared they’d give a lame response to your jokes, you can discuss about the bands. if you feel there’s a connection, maybe you can go with him/her in the next concert.

3.      Entertain Yourself By Visiting An Interesting Booth

Every concert always has one or two interest booths. Each booth will give a different kind of entertainment, if it’s booth of a beer brand, they might have a beer-pong contest. Plus, you can befriend with the SPG or SPB, a good way to build  networking.

 4.      Search Twitter Feeds

Search twitter feeds might help you out from being lonely! Who knows if your friend or acquaintance is at the same gig. Updating also will help to inform some possible fellow friend at the same concert.

5.      Act Non-Chalant

The most important thing of being alone at a concert is just keep calm and don’t act like you are keyed up. Just act like nothing is wrong, don’t make yourself look confused with the situation.

Despite the contrary, there’s nothing wrong in being alone at a concert, because when the concert starts, what you’ll be doing is just to see your favourite musicians’ show, not having an endless chat with your friends. Just mind your own business and enjoy the concert you intend to. You might think people will see you as an a-social when you are going to a concert alone or maybe it’s just in your mind, but no one cares if you’re alone or you’re in a pack of hipster look-a-likes. Alone or not, the important thing is to unwind and have fun. Happy watching, single fighters!
