i think a lot of people hate me because i don’t like dave matthews band. as evidenced by the crap ton of people who show up to his concerts, he has this loyal band of followers that most struggling artists can’t even dream of having. 

it’s not that i don’t like dave matthews- have any of you seen him in because of winn-dixie? because he was good in that role. i personally just don’t enjoy jam band music. what i mostly don’t like are the people (aka young, affluent white girls) who buy tickets just to hang out with friends, text message other people asking “are u @ dave??”, and walk around spac taking pictures.

i’m sure people who actually go to dave FOR THE MUSIC don’t even care, but it bugs me a lot. i know that trying to get tickets to this concert is lucrative, so to me, if some 11th grader from holy names who knows learned the lyrics to ‘crash into me’ just for the concert takes the spot of someone who is a legitimate fan, and i was that legitimate fan who ended up having to go around scalping for a ticket, I WOULD BE angry. 

and i don’t even mean to be one of those weird people who gets all like “I LISTENED TO THEM FIRST” and “IM SO SICK OF ALL THESE STUPID LITTLE FANS WHO DON’T EVEN KNOW”. obviously, anybody who enjoys dmb can listen to dmb freely. it just bugs me when people show up to things like this  just for ~the street cred~ and to tell other people ‘omg, dave was SO COOL last year!!’
