The poor sucker who gets covered in beer: There's always that one unlucky punter. Instead of just getting hit with a few splashes of water, this guy takes a fresh pint of lager directly to the face and stands frozen in a state of shock and disbelief. Brutal.
The Journalist: This guy has two predicaments. 1. He probably doesn't actually like the band that he's watching for a live review. 2. If he does, he'll desperately struggle to actually enjoy the show as he frantically types muddled notes on his smartphone.
The guy who keeps stealing the water: This crafty individual isn't passing any water further back into the crowd, keeping all that precious H20 for himself. You've been leaping around like a rabid dog for the last hour and you just...need...one...sip...
The guy who's desperate to start a mosh-pit: This prat will do whatever he possibly can to open up a pit, flinging his elbows around in the hopes of unleashing his inner angst. Pal, we're at a Whitney Houston concert. You'll have no joy here..
The security who couldn't give a shit: While you whirl yourself into a frenzy because you're seeing one of your musical idols in the flesh, this burly human really couldn't care less about the musicians on the stage. Sure, he's got a job to do, but come on man. This is history in the making, probably...
The guest list guy: While you queue up in the blistering cold outside the venue, this son of a bitch strolls to the front, says his name to security and disappears inside. You're probably wondering who the hell he is and why he's so important. Don't worry, he's probably just a lonely journalist who couldn't get a plus one and has to go to the gig alone. I've been that individual. No fun.
The guy who takes his shirt off: Before the first song has even finished, this annoying individual rips his t shirt off and starts bobbing around uncontrollably. It%u2019s probably for one of two reasons. 1. He's got some wicked cool tattoos to show off. 2. He's been making serious gains and is about get his personal trainer certificate. We love you, Damien.
The hipster observer - This surly individual stands perfectly still and emotionless throughout, crossing his arms firmly in a bid to look as uninterested in the music as humanly possible.
The ones who films the whole thing: This applies to an ever growing number of gig goers. Put your phone down you imbecile, you'll probably never re-watch the footage anyway.
The casual fan: This person knows a single or two, but spends the rest of the gig chatting inanely or updating her Facebook page. They're also prone to get on a mate's shoulders just for a laugh.
The one that knows all the words - They know every single line, regularly looking around the crowd to make sure everybody can see how great their memory is. Didn't you realise this was a karaoke competition?
The enthusiastic parent - On the flip side, we have the parent who sings along and bounces around manically in a desperate bid to win their child's affection. Heartbreaking, but we salute the effort, nonetheless. Wow, we really milked that picture, eh.
The bored parent - Escorting their devoted teenage child to the gig, this individual is often hopelessly miserable and simply inconsolable. Check out this guy, he can't even be bothered to look towards the stage.
The bar rat: This particular person is back and forth from the bar more regularly than the staff standing behind it. They spend the majority of the gig with their backs to the flipping band. Spillage is commonplace. Them remembering the show is not. However they may have a certain skill for getting four pints single-handedly to the second row.
The madly in love couple: Avert your eyes as the boyfriend stands behind his beloved and wraps his arms around her, the two swaying in a loved up, nausea-inducing trance.
The crazed fan: They're the most loyal and devoted fan on the planet. They'll usually be found at the front of the gig drenched in buckets of sweat, jumping frantically up and down in a frenzied fever of joy and can be found waiting around for hours at the end to be handed a setlist. Don't even try to communicate with them, you will not succeed.
The crowd surfing addict: Some venues are pretty strict and will eject you on the first strike. If not, this guy will keep coming back for more until an agitated crowd refuses to lift them up, ceasing their efforts of reaching the stage and planting a kiss on their idol. Expect to be kicked in the face.
