like if I go see Mark Kozelek, that is obviously a kind of introverted, reflective experience and everyone wants to stand as quiet as they can and lean in as close they can to absorb it all as completely as possible. but seeing a band where they guys move around on stage, and there's crazy guitar solos and insane drums, I completely do not understand how it can be fun to just stand there with your hands in your pockets with a sour look on your face. Moving to the music, getting lost in it transforms the experience, and especially if others are really into it also, the crowd becomes part of the show. The audience and the artist feed off each others' energy. Can you imagine Pearl Jam in 1992 going crazy on stage and Eddie Vedder climbing walls while the audience stands perfectly still and checks their twitters in between songs? It's a very basic, primal thing. You dance around your brain releases endorphins and everything feels more awesome. I really want to blame it on this generation for being a bunch of jaded hipster dicks who think they are too cool for everything, but I think it might really just be having seen so many shows with bad audiences in this city

Don't know if people are actually disagreeing with you, but the way you're wording it, particularly with "dance" is making me think of this
http://i53.tinypic.com/r8z3u1.gif I am generally opposed to non-GA shows and most of the times if it's seated I will opt against going even if it's a band I really like (exception for NMH). I once saw my fav band play a seated venue and everyone stood up and they ended their set by thanking people for standing up and making it feel like "a real rock show". It's obvious that bands appreciate when you show some kind of positive organic reaction to them other than clapping. Sometimes I see people on the front row with their arms crossed and both hate and love them cause it's hilarious but also wtf. |

I kind of sway, nod my head, sometimes even raise my hand at a particularly good part of a song. I'm mostly self-conscious at shows, though. Don't drink because I always have to drive home after, too.
Although, NMH encourages singing along and that was REALLY fun to belt out their songs at the top of my lungs. But everyone was doing that, so... I was in the nosebleeds for Springsteen and squished between two people; that shit suuuucked. 99.9% of the shows I go to are GA and I like that much better. |

When I started going to shows, everyone jumped around like maniacs and danced. Trying to emulate them always felt forced to me, and I couldn't pay as much attention to the music as I'd like to - so I didn't. I'd just stand there and hear people complaining that I was "no fun".
Fast-forward 15 years, and you get people like rbg all up in arms that they aren't cool anymore. It's kind of funny. I mean, go ahead and dance if you want to. No one's stopping you. |
