    The kids care. Look up “zombie concert crowds” - the kids don’t want to be “cringe” so they won’t DANCE AT CONCERTS. It’s wild to see

    Watching a video or two of the phenomenon made me feel funny in my stomach

      My experience has been that genZ absolutely loves to mosh and crowd surf, even when the music or situation would not typically support these actions. Like, I’ve seen kids jumping off the stage over and over again in a small venue with like 75 people who are getting increasingly annoyed by it. I’ve seen them do the “red sea” mosh thing to chill indie songs.

      Honestly I appreciate the enthusiasm, but the crowd surfing thing in particular gets super tedious in the aforementioned scenarios.

      So I just tried looking up “zombie concert crowds” and can’t find anything remotely similar to what you were talking about.

      Not so sure about this one as it depends on both the genre and the band. I went to 3+ shows a month all through college and there was only dancing at probably 1/3 of them
