Audiences are the public congregation of individuals to immerse themselves in spectating or listening to another person, group or film that they enjoy greatly or have never heard or seen before live in person. This enjoyment of being part of an audience is fulfilling, the enjoyment that tends to bring this public congregation of people together, live. An audience whether it be small or large, music or film, it is something that almost all humans have been apart of.

I have been one in this congregation of people enjoying the same viewing or listening live. An atmosphere of people immersed into what is in front of them. This for me is the attendance of music concerts and festivals. A place in which a gathering of thousands of people go to listen to their favourite artist/band or group live in concert. This for me is the rap scene. From the variations of Groovin the Moo – Migos – Rolling Loud all in which contained thousands of young people like myself who faithfully play these performers music on an almost loop. Singing along and creating moshes of people to the songs. A boiling climate of hot bodies squished in, to get as close to the front as possible while still dancing and sweating, gross right ?. Why do people like myself still go back though ?. Simply, to be apart of the atmosphere that audiences create. The enjoyment of all the people around you with this same taste in genre and then hopeful chance that you can get close to the front and see the performer eye for eye, almost impossible to do though when there is thousands of young people with the same goal.

Although this overwhelming experience of hype and enjoyment surrounding and being apart of this audience is positive and exciting it does come with negatives. For one even though it is easy to submerge yourself into the depths of an audience, Your body overheating with all these sweaty bodies around you dancing is your queue to get out, sounds simple enough ? No, definitely not. This posing severe negative health risks to an individual. From personal witnessing of a young girl overheating and was needed to be rushed out of the audience at Rolling Loud. An article from the website https://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4804513&page=1&page=1 written by Emily Friedman that an estimated 10,000 people have been injured in and around these moshpits in the last decade. Overheating or simply being hit by another person unintentionally.

Even though there can be the slight chance of negative fallbacks of being apart of an audience such as my personal witness at a Rolling Loud concert it is an experience that is unique to each individual and should not be feared from. The most important thing I take away from the experience i had as an audience member is that everyone is there to enjoy this viewing and listening just as much as you are. People that may bump into you or knock you is unintentionally done and does not require retaliation It is an experience that should be enjoyed with and around others.
