There cannot be anything worse than attending Christian Pop and Rock concerts...

I attended several of these as young child and teen, and I now look back on such experiences with... I don't know the word...



I have been to several concerts, and plan on seeing more this summer. I wear earplugs since I also loathe noise that is far too loud. However, I do enjoy a good mosh, and have walked happily away with bruises and wounds to the head and gut on a few occasions. You simply need to find a mosh that picks you up off the ground immediately, otherwise there is reason to hold a certain amount of fear.

All the concerts I have been to that have held a mosh have had caring aggressors (that sounds so strange), and I have never found myself on the ground for more than a second.

You smile at whoever picked you up, and then bash them.


I went to a Flogging Molly concert that gave rise to a great dancing/Irish jig/brawl/surf. It was quite unique, brawling and dancing whilst half-drunk on cider, and one that I loved completely and utterly.

It saddens me, however, to see that Flogging Molly is no longer what they were four years ago (ever since the Within a Mile of Home album came out...). So my days of great Irish brawls/dances/jigs is over.


I have also been to a number of Blues/Jazzy/Alternative type concerts, which abounded with great dancing and simply exuded mushrooms and marijuana and alcohol. There is something soulful and wondrous in dancing with an emotional voice and blasting horn section.

No moshes, no screaming, just dancing.


I one day hope to attend a professional classical concert, along with operas and ballets.
