All Time Low Sleeping With Sirens concert wrapup

- How was the concert in general?

Much more mellow than I was expecting. (Weird, right?) But I still enjoyed the music and the show was nice. 

- Which band did you enjoy the most and why?

All Time Low. I've listened to them for years and they know how to put on a show.

- How did this concert compare with other concerts you’ve been to?

Like I said, more mellow. I saw ATL with some other more punk bands a couple years ago and I think it just depends on the audience how the feel of the show goes. 

- Tell me your thoughts on the crowd at the show.

A mix of teen girls and real fans of music not just the actual bands themselves. Not to say the band members aren't important, but the music (to me) comes first. There are levels of dedication that some people don't understand. It's a bit rough to go to a concert and just hear high pitched screaming. 

- Would you consider the band on this tour part of “scene” music? If so, why?

The two headliners used to be much more "scene" like, and it just involves the changing audience. With bands like SWS and ATL becoming more known, newer fans are drawn in that are not "scene," and I know it bugs me a bit to get beaten out for amazing concert seats by rich kids who don't care about the music as much as the status of going to a cool concert.

- What are your views on “scene” culture coming from a college student’s perspective? - - Why do you still go to these types of concerts?

I'm forever a scene kid at heart even though I don't dress like it. These bands and this music has helped me through a lot of my life, and I love seeing it played live. I'm the type of person who likes to go see bands at least once in person because it's so much fun, especially when the crowd is just like you. It's nice to see that there are still outcast kids who find solace in this kind of thing away from the jerks in middle and high school.

- Do you see yourself continuing to go concerts like this far for a long time? Do you see a point coming where you actually may “grow out of it,” a phrase many always use?

I'm sure I'll continue to go to concerts. Maybe not at the grate in the front, but I love the energy that comes from being around people who are so similar. I'm sure I'll also be introducing my future kids to the music scene.
