No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

My wife and I are going to a concert in a few months which is considered 'girl pop' and we have standing tickets. I wanted to get a look at what a show by this artist is like, so I search YouTube just to find it's a bunch of young adult woman screaming anytime something is done like a dance move as an example, but this just isn't me.

I have a worry that someone is going to start filming me for being 'grumpy' or whatever, usually I wouldn't think this much into it, but I'm already going to be sticking out like a sore thumb and in the current year I always assume I'm in the background of someone's video at any given moment and I don't want my awkwardness being confused for anything else other than what it is.

Am I in over my head, or should I just not overthink it and try to enjoy myself?

Don't overthink it, have fun, bring good earplugs.
No seriously, there are plugs meant for shows, designed to not butcher it too much, merely attenuate it all a bit.
First, you'll avoid tinnitus.
Second, it blocks out quite a bit of the other show-goers background noise.

If you're taller, always make sure there aren't any shorter people behind you. If you're having fun, smile, move a little, enjoy the atmosphere. You've got nothing to worry about and have a great time!

im 6'5, better opt for a hack saw before the show i guess.

[–] kernelle@0d.gs 2 points 3 days ago

Hah, just be aware and courteous and it really won't matter.

Have fun! Don't overthink it.

Nah, just go and enjoy yourself

I'm not sure about "girl pop" concert vibe, but i don't see much video pointing out at people in the crowd in concerts (in fact, i only remember one, and it's not really being mean at the person). Also there may be some kind of survivor paradox here : the video you see of young adult woman may not be a realistic depiction of the crowd, there probably is people just chilling, but they're less interesting to film, so there's less video about them. I'd say enjoy yourself !
