Zoomer here, will go to concerts alone once every few months because I have pretentious taste in music + the one friend I have with very similar tastes is a little agoraphobic
Hell all 3 festivals I’ve been to have also been alone cause people flaking before a big fest is pretty common in general and happened to me all 3 times. Will sometimes try to meet people and hangout, sometimes not depending on what vibe I’m feeling
So many zoomers who find out I do this look at me so weird but like what, am I just not going to enjoy myself and do something I want just because I don’t have somebody to go with?
I have a few friends that are 40+ and it sounds like they do stuff alone frequently. The ~30 year old friends aren’t doing it a lot but they don’t seem to have the same fear zoomers do either. I regularly run into 30+ yo ppl I know at an event there alone but never happens with zoomers
I approach it from a point of “cops kill people that look like me when we’re alone, regardless of bodycams, regardless of cell phone cams.” As a result I don’t go anywhere unless I’m rolling at least two or three deep.
