From the backs at a rock concertI noticed several elements, situations and people at that concert: the very much loved beer and the less drank water; people quietly relaxed on the soft grass; huge tattoos, mainly about demoniac themes on men and floral ones on women. However, it was difficult to see people with huge tattoos lying on the grass and wearing t-shirts. Why? Matter of virility? On the contrary, those who were aesthetically less "aggressive" were inclined to take a nap on the soft grass. The thing that all these people had in common was a kind of worship of beer. What brings people to categorise themselves, at least aesthetically within a certain musical genre? The need to be recognised? Or just the need to feel that they belong to that group?
Maybe nothing of all this, in the end if someone likes a certain genre of music, they just like it. Regardless their lifestyle. Right? This series of photos were only taken on 14th June 2018 at the pre Foo Fighter's concert in Florence, Italy (“Firenze Rocks Festival”). |
