Ear plugs at a concert

By Doug on March 31st, 2008

Have you ever seen someone wearing earplugs at a concert? I’ve been attending rock concerts regularly for the last ten years and have always noticed a Dbag or two wearing them at each one. Like, really? Ear plugs at a concert? I’m not going to hate on anyone but there’s really no excuse for that. Yeah sure, it’s loud. I always thought that was the point of a rock concert.

If you don’t want it to be loud then save your money, stay home and find clips of the band playing on youtube. With earplugs, you’re going to get about the same sound quality anyways. And with the extra cash you’d save on not going to the concert, you’d have that much more money to buy things you’d probably like to have like a new tricycle or an EZbake oven or whatever the hell it is 3-year-old girls like you are into.

It seems to be getting worse and worse, too. I was at a concert three weeks ago and I noticed an exorbitant amount of people wearing these things. One of them even had those plugs that are connected to each other by a piece of string. There were three people within my immediate perimeter (as in I could have touched them) with earplugs in. Doing the math, that’s roughly ten percent of the people immediately surrounding me.

Applying that figure to the rest of the arena, 10 percent of the estimated 15 to 20,000 people there would mean that there were roughly 1500 to 2000 people paying $40 or so to have considerably less fun than everyone else around them. Ear plugs make things quieter, but they also cut out certain frequencies. You’re not simply not hearing the same sounds as everyone else.

Who are these people? These lame-oids. These losers. These are the same people who choose to sit at the front row of a movie. The same people who have an HDTV without HD Cable. Oh wait, I have an HDTV without HD cable. Shit.
