Where did all the respect go...

[weed]

I went to see the Deftones in concert last night, 5th time to see them so i know what to expect. I must be getting to old to stand on the floor anymore, because these little sh!tz just have no respect anymore!!! I or (we) didn't act like that when we were first attending concerts. young punks act like its "their" concert so get out of their way. Pushing and shoving their way to the front, did i hear a "excuse me" oops sorry man. NOTHING!! Next concert it go to i wont be standing on the floor, i'll just have to get over on the side so i dont get physical again with these no respecting fools.

sorry fella's just venting. deftones were great!!! btw

Far as I can remember kids have been jerks at shows like that, but I've only been going to concerts for 8 years. Maybe its that new of a thing.

How old are you weed?

Yeah I went to an old school hair band concert, Poison and Cinderella. It was a pretty good concert too and I thought it was cool seeing all these young kids there too.....thinking man these guys were playing way before they were born. But as you said, they were rude, crude and just not nice. A few times, I just thought about giving a few some help down the stairs.....if you know what I mean hehe . I guess its true we are getting old.

[ClayW]

Yeah. Some of these young kids dont give a shiat about anything. The will do anything also. Its really gotten crazy. Scary thing is they are going to get older one day. Physically at least. Mentally? NOT.

When they grown up (30s-40s) they will be like we were in our 20s.


LOl

[Dammit!]

That's the way it's always been. Your perspective just changes when you're no longer one of them.

Well like i said i was already preterbed, and were standing there rockin out and three guys "holding hands" so they dont lose one another. Start pushing and shoving there way through the crowd. Well you guessed it. the lead guy gives me a stiff shoulder and knocks me sideways, "eww im pissed now" so as i turn to look at him the last guy holding hands gives me this look and pushes me , i shoved his arse back and he made his mistake , swung and hit me in my lower neck. OH buddy it was on, i chased him for about 10 ft till we got into the middle of a dead mosh pit and as soon as he turned around "whack" i dropped his arse and his buddies had to pick him up, LOL, i dont think the guy knew where he was. Hopefully that would teach that punk for his next concert. Im in no means there to pick a fight, but i'll be if some motherhumper is gonna pull that shrit on me again!!!

Good job Weed, I'm sure he went there with that goal in mind anyways.

Im only 22, but I matured up real fast. I cant stand lots of comotion or load noises anymore, I'm a pretty calm guy until you start yelling around me. To much anxiety I guess.......

My second show ever was, I think I was 14, it was Defetones on their House of Furr tour. THat show rocked. I feel so old when I'm around 16 year olds wearing my 1998 tour shirt.

Weed, you are very correct. I just took my wife to DOG JAM in october to see Staind, Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown, Hinder, and Black Stone Cherry. The young bastards were bouncing all over the place and getting in front us watching the concert. They had lawn seats and wanted front row with us, I hate little bastards that think they rule the world. Anyway, they stayed out of the way after I had a chat with them. Bad ass concert, DOG JAM is always great, except for hurricane Rita(the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*) in 05, DOG JAM canceled.

The question of this thread is "where did all the respect go?"

Here is where the respect went - it done left about 25 years ago

It left when mommys and daddys left daycare raise their kids
It left when mommys and daddys stopped spanking their kids
It left when kids stopped getting punished when they did wrong
It left when mommy and daddy got too busy to teach their kids any different

I'll tell you my friends - the future looks not so good with this next generation and their lack of respect and lack of responsibility.

[weed]

your exactly right atctim!!!!!!!!!

kids dont get their arse whipped, punished, or nothing anymore. I mean where are the consequences. hey tuff freakin cookie. Whip the shirt out of your dayum kids. have you people ever heard of "HARD LOVE". Its the parents fault. Are you parents a bunch of sissy's? Thats not how you were raised, so why do it any different for your kids. Did your parents to a bad job of raising you? "no " you say, i do bet you got your arse whipped

to everyone that is older, MY GENERATION IS ******STOP TYPING AROUND THE WORD FILTERS!!!!!!!***** hell the dayum girls my age dont even know how to boil freakin water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"A stove, is that the thing my mommy cooks on"..................

I agree with tough love. I got the crap whooped out of me, and I think I turned out just fine in terms of showing respect. The day comes when I have children of my own, time outs wont exist in my house.

I lived with my divorced mother, bassically being disciplined and raised by my grandparents that lived across the way. I got old school beatings! Couldnt be happier hiensight.

The wife and I went to see Staind, 3 days grace, Crossfade, and soil, about 2 months ago and we sat in the stands. Getting too old to hit the floor anymore....lol. I"m 31 now. Going to see Godsmack and Breaking Benjamin next month and have seats right beside the stage so I guess I"ll get to see how the kids act up close. As far as the parents and not making thier kids respect them goes... I will make sure my kids know what discipline is.
