As the Flaming Lips put it so well, the punks are finaly taking acid, the kids are finaly taking X. Its not $15 for a chevy anymore. The drugs are getting cheaper and the kids are getting to them. The first time I realised how wide spread the use of 'party' drugs within the music community was at an Andrew Bird show actualy. It was in Tallahassee, Fl. I asked a friend if he thought it would be ok to bring a J or two into this venue Mr. Bird was playing that night. My friend then went on about how drugs are becoming an american epidemic and to watch for the vics and water bottles at the show in the hands of fans, people shouting every word. A few months later I was at a house party with a girl I had just started going with, there were friends of mine, friends of hers, friends of friends, and people I just didnt know. Well there was a pool house with music blasting that I instantly recognized in the back, wich is weird because the music in the main house where people were grinding was some top 20 rap songs I had never heard before, and in this pool house there were black out shutters, a disco ball in a corner, strobe lights, even a fog machine and coolers of water. The music that was playing was anything from LCD Soundsystem to Hot Chip to Feist.. Then MX Missiles came on, and these people were rolling to it. Im not sure, maybe its the drug scene in Fl is musicaly informed or the youth is taking up public drug use. Whatever it is, its a change for the better I think.

They show their enthusiasm and perhaps even dance, but not so much that they disturb those who just want to watch and listen. And at a metal show, moshing is allowed but it must be within a clearly designated area. My favorite type of crowd at any show is one that is excitable but not too rowdy.
