Punk rock band Trophy Eyes fan left paralyzed after singer jumped on her at concert
Crowdsurfing only works well if it is clearly telegraphed by the surfer, and willingly accepted by the crowd - think like an enthusiastic trust fall. Given that she's 5'6, I can't see how she would have been landed on full force unless there was basically no warning, or the rest of the crowd around her totally bailed (in which case no-one would jump)
Oof. That's a shitty time for everybody.
Hope she would recover. Terrible situation.
Poor girl. 100% singers fault.
Their new sign will be "We Love (to Cripple) Our Fans!"
You should use the headline from the article.
By the rules, yes, but OP's is much better. I hate the style of the actual headline. Just state the facts of the article, there's no need to frame everything like a human interest story.
I use the one that gets auto-suggested. Sometimes I miss that it doesn't quite match the headline in the article, and sometimes they change the headlines later. I don't make up my own.
You're right.
I don't consider myself old... or even much of an adult, but I feel like i've long outgrown concerts. It seems like all I read about is fans getting seriously injured and crowds of people too preoccupied video-recording instead actually enjoying the music.
That's just because "people enjoy music" doesn't make a good headline. Concerts are still good; they're just expensive.
The tickets for the upcoming Trophy Eyes show in LA are $20.
Stop reading about concerts and start going to them. I just saw Lacuna Coil last night and had a blast. Most people weren't on their phones either, save for during one song by the supporting band (New Year's Day) where the singer specifically requested that everyone record it.
Who cares if people are on their phone? I'm watching the show. You do you.
I don't understand why it matters. Some artists even lose their shit if people are on their phone. Like dude, they fucking PAID for the show. If they wanna miss it, that's on them. Such a weird thing to care about and waste energy on.
Specifically go to shows with seats. Like in amphitheaters or similar. I've seen some pretty hardcore metal in some nice seats before.
Depends on the band, genre, venue. I've only once seen something like this and I never went to see that band again.
'Donated' $5000 for breaking her back. Why not take up the medical expenses for a superfan?
I've never heard of trophy eyes before, but unless you're a big act most of these bands take home less than say, a white collar job. And odds seem good they'll get sued too. So I'm not surprised they're not throwing cash around
They're probably not worth that much. On a side not I looked up the band, as a fan of 70s British Punk, this band being "punk" flabbergasted me:
They look like they just came from Bible study lol
The best way to judge music is by looking at the clothing of the band members
I just listened to them. I don't see how, in any decade, this gets called "punk".
Punk isn't what it used to be...
Yeah, I don’t want to gatekeep music, but if it was trying to find some of the vinyl in a record store, I wouldn’t look under “punk.” I’d probably list go to T under alt rock.
Having not heard their music or ever heard of them, my first thought when seeing the photo was that they were trying to be "ironic" or something.
Moreso after making the conscious decision to ignore the house rules on crowdsurfing...
