Loud music, a shouting crowd, a lucent stage and most importantly, amazing musicians - that's what a music concert is. It can be interpreted by different people in different ways. For some, it might be a stress releaser, while for some others, it might be a yet another place to party hard and have fun. But everyone will agree on one thing - if you like the musician/artist/band that is performing, you will have a good, or sometimes the best, time of your life.
Here are five reasons why you should attend a music concert:
1. It gives you a platform to scream your heart out. Unlike other places, a music concert is a place where shouting, making noise and screaming is encouraged. You can scream your heart out, especially remembering all the negativity or anything else that is bugging you inside, and you'll actually be asked to shout more. How cool is that!
2. It is a place where you don't become self conscious. In this world where people are judged by what they wear and what colour their skin is, a music concert offers an exception. It is one place where people are totally impervious and don't give a shit to how you are from the outside. And that is one of the most wonderful feeling you can have - to realise that no one gives a shit as to what you're wearing. And slowly you realise that even you yourself have become less judgemental, as you do not see people's clothing or colour or race or whatever. And when the time actually comes to dance or bang your heads to the groove, it doesn't even matter if you are a man or a woman. Everyone is equal, and everyone has a right to listen to what they love.
3. It offers you a chance to feel as a human, not separated by anything. In continuation with the second point, a concert is a place where everyone is treated equally, so you don't have to feel bad for being neglected because you're of a particular skin colour or you are a woman (or in some cases, man) or you belong to a particular caste, simply because you'll never experience it. You can feel totally as a citizen of the earth, where nothing separates us because we all are fellow human beings. You get to see what you rarely see these days - humanity. True, in metal concerts mosh pits are formed and people sometimes get injured, but it will be the fellow guys who unintentionally hurt him, help the person hurt later. I've even seen a concert where Trivium vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy tells the crowd to make a circle pit, but also adds, "If anyone falls, you'll pick them up. No one will get hurt". I found this statement very warm and touching, coming from a metal band, who people usually regard as heartless or demonic.
And, one statement that touched the heart of every Indian was the one made by Dave Mustaine at Megadeth live in Kolkata - "I see no race or nation. Only metal".
4. It helps you to dream. When you're in a concert, you see the musicians playing, and dream to do the things you always wanted to do. I've never heard of any musician being one although he didn't want to. All musicians on the stage have worked a lot to reach there, and you can see that in the way the sing or play. This inspires us to dream like they did, and work hard to achieve those dreams. And especially if your dreams are aligned towards music, it gives you a sort of bonus point, because you actually imagine yourself playing on the stage, or managing the sounds, or whatever your dream is.
5. You get to know what is it like to be pulled.There are many things in life, in which we have to push ourselves. Pushing is good, but it's drawback is that you can push yourselves only up to a point. However, while attending a concert, you get pulled to shout and dance and bang your heads, by the musicians on the stage and the people alongside you. You get to know what is it like to be pulled by a certain force. We need to understand then when we find our true passion, we don't have to push ourselves towards achieving it, because it will pull you.
