Spotify playlist inspired by this video! Take a look: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7rQxh55n2zNGQgKB6TyH4u?si=d1c9893144bd44d9 Discussing concerts, Twenty One Pilots, and the meaning of life… all stemming from a bizarre phenomenon of folks camping for weeks on end for a 2 hour concert. Hierarchies, rules, lots of crying, etc. It's all a bit much. But dig a little bit deeper and you find the classic story of humans being confronted with forms of chaos and insisting they can enact control over it. Three guesses how successful it often turns out. I know it's a little corny to still be making videos dedicated to Twenty One Pilots at the ripe old age of 24... but man lemme cook here I think I'm onto something. Idk man toxic fandom culture drives me crazy. Always has. Yikes and a half. I like venting and complaining. Oh uh apparently YouTube likes it when you list keywords in the description to boost visibility and stuff like that for their Lovecraftian algorithm. Specific words like Twenty One Pilots, fan experience, Blurryface, Vessel album, live show, concert culture, fandom, mental health, ARG, self-actualization, band community, music fandom, fan hierarchy, concert camping, general admission, fan behavior, concert experience, live music, GA pit, concert line leader, venue rules, fan dedication, Tyler Joseph, Josh Dun, fan expectations, concert preparation, pit strategy, fan culture, nostalgia, music fan, concert chaos, fan hierarchy, music memories, fan relationships, band obsession, live performance, fan anticipation, emotional connection, music community, concert frustration, music and mental health, Twenty One Pilots fanbase, fan experience storytelling. I hate that I need to do unnatural and strange things like listing out dozens of nouns for any semblance of sustainability, but unfortunately this is the post-capitalist hellscape we live in. Please forgive me.
