6 Types of Adults You’ll Encounter at Summer Concerts
Ah, summer! The season of sunshine, warm nights, and, of course, concerts. Whether you’re a parent enjoying a night off or just looking for some good music, summer concerts are the perfect place for people-watching. Here are six types of adults you’re likely to see:
-
Girls’ Night Out
This lively group of women is easy to spot, often at concerts featuring nostalgic boy bands or artists their daughters adore. These ladies are embracing their freedom, sipping on vibrant cocktails, and wearing a mix of jeans and vintage concert tees. You might even see one of them playing the role of a DMT—a “designated milk tester,” as she tries to decipher instructions for a friend’s breast milk after the show. -
Boys’ Night Out
Not to be outdone, these dads are reliving their glory days with old college friends, reminiscing about epic concerts and beer pong tournaments from the past. You’ll find them enjoying shows ranging from jam bands to heavy metal, drinking light beers, and trying to connect with younger concertgoers through tales of their youth. -
Solo Dad
This music lover often flies solo because his partner isn’t into his favorite tunes, or they couldn’t find a babysitter. You’ll catch him at weeknight shows, vibing to bands like The Cure or The Smiths. With a Diet Coke in hand (gotta drive home!), he’ll be seated, proudly clutching his treasured concert tee. -
Hipsters
With their skinny jeans, ironic tees, and carefully tousled hair, hipsters are a staple at indie music festivals. Spot the hipster moms nursing their babies in cozy corners, all while sipping on craft beers or kombucha. Engaging in deep discussions about current events, they bring a unique vibe to any concert atmosphere. -
Yuppies (or Muppies)
These stylish adults can be a bit trickier to identify, but yuppies will often be in button-down shirts, checking their Apple watches. Their partners might be snapping selfies on their iPhones, decked out in colorful dresses and chic accessories. You’ll likely find them tailgating in their Volvos, sharing upscale snacks and sipping on fancy drinks. -
Couples
Hand-in-hand, these lovebirds will be dodging mud puddles and soaking up their precious time away from the kids. They’ll likely buy matching concert tees to commemorate the occasion, reminiscing about the music they loved during their dating days. It doesn’t matter who’s playing; it’s all about rekindling their romance!
No matter which category you find yourself in (or outside of), make the most of your summer concert experience. Savor the music, enjoy a drink or two, and relish the time spent with friends or your partner.
