In Sarnia the youngun's and the 19 and over people were separated by this big fence down the middle and I was stuck on the youngun's side and there was LITTLE kids .. like 10 years old standing 2nd row with their mom .. that was insane. When the music started they certainly scattered and you'd just see all these little kids getting surfed up and out cuz it was too rough. Anybody younger than 15-16 doesn't belong at concerts I don't think .. unless it's like Hanson or BSB. Or unless they stay far back or in seats.

Why would somebody in their right mind bring a 10 year old to an OLP concert!?!?!?! Yeah, I say about 15 is a good starting age for OLP concerts. Then you're usually tall enough to fend for yourself.

Cuz they probably heard SOT or something on the radio and thought oh that's not too bad .. and brought their kids. I mean the little girl was holding on to a freakin' stuffed animal

that kinda shows she belongs at home in bed, not 2nd row at an olp concert when she can't even see over people's heads :|

Stupid unresponsible parents. :mad:

I saw ONE little kid at the Toledo concert, but he was kind of at the side of the railing where nobody could hurt him. He was about 10 yrs old.

What are these parents thinking?!?!? That they're so cool now, because they're letting their 10 yr old child go to a concert? bullshit.l

i think the audiences are just getting younger in general due to the new popularity of rock music. a few years ago pop music ruled and all mtv played was pop and you could find all the little kids at the pop shows, now theres all this attention to rock and little kids are showing up at those concerts.

i was at a MACHINE HEAD concert last year and i saw a group of about 4 10 year olds. That's the most insane thing, i mean most people were trying to keep them out of harm's way, but their parents are really crazy for having let them go. Same thing at an Incubus concert i went to earlier this year..

It was funny .. I was watching this special on Blink 182 and in an interview they were talking about how these young kids would come to their shows with their parents "they probably heard our na na na song" and then within a few minutes of Blink taking the stage you'd just see all the parents dragging their kids out of the shows again cuz they swear and tell a lot of dirty jokes :lol:

Parents are dumb these days .. :nod:

...and they said that rock was dead, or at least dying. i don't think rock will every die, although it's quality has greatly decreased over the last few years, at least in the mainstream sense.

I'm 15 and I was a fan a little before clumsy was released. Yeah it pays to be living in Canada and having your best friend's older brother own a copy of Naveed which you promptly stole to listen to. I probably didn't really understand as much as I do now, but hey, I liked it.

You'd be surprised at what we were listening to back in elementary school :lol:

Minus all that backstreet and pop stuff.

I'm 16, fan since I was 14.

superboots · Post by **superboots** » 8/19/2002, 11:44 am

wait. you're confusing me. You're going to U of M this fall and you're only 16??? wow.

(sorry for spamming, continue)

Yeah, about that, there was a slight mix up when I was young.
I started 1st grade when I was almost 5. I was wondering why I was always younger than everyone else.

Plus it would royally suck if I was the youngest person on campus. I had to go through that my freshman year in high school.

You were 4 years old when you started 1st grade?!?! wow. And I thought I was young when I started 1st grade (I was double promoted and ended up in 1st grade at 5)

you're definitely going to be the youngest one on campus, because you have to be 16 to apply to go to the U of M...

that's just. wow.

I'm only gonna be 17 my first year of college.

superboots · Post by **superboots** » 8/19/2002, 12:01 pm

I was too. It's not too bad. And at my school it's not that big of a deal, because there are freaks there who started college (at a different university) at 14.

Canadian Coast Guard · Post by **Canadian Coast Guard** » 8/19/2002, 12:02 pm

(insert explicitive here)

I'll be 17 soon, my birthday is on the week of midterms.
