I've done some work at a music venue and the country music fans were the WORST. Always drunk and ready to fight by the time they got to the concert. I had a really funny "frat boy" experience last year waiting at the toliets on Sat. night. This extremely sunburned dude turns to me and another girl in line and out of the blue says "I'm balls deep in Jesus brah, how about you?" Chick and I look at each other and she says "I'm Jewish", I say "I'm Pagan" and brah goes on to criticize our choice in beliefs and generally act an obnoxious idiot...it was hilarious. Me and the other girl could not stop laughing at him. I kinda felt sorry for Jesus though, I'm pretty sure he would object to this dude being "balls deep" into Him.
if you don't judge someone from the way they look, you are setting yourself up for trouble.
maybe it's not pc - but how someone presents themselves says a lot about who they are and what they will likely be like. when you combine clothing with body language, it's fair to say you will almost always be spot on in your judgment...
I was at class today, and this guy was wearing sunglasses. I thought sunglasses, indoors? Must be a jock/jerk. Then I overheard his conversation with the professor when they mentioned the lights being too bright, and is he alright, and boy did I feel like a tool.
never would i elephant walk. never ever. and ass beer? omg, why?!@
Amen. No way in h3ll I'm drinking beer that ran off someone's @**hole.
This all sounds way too homoerotic for my heterosexual self, not that there's anything wrong with putting your finger in some guy's @ss if that's your thing. But no way I would drink beer off anyone's A-Hole to be in ANY group.
I'll join in the "generalizations suck/ I know good people in frats" chorus.
A couple of interesting observations: I tore tickets at a concert venue for a couplle of summers in high school. Crowds that made life worst for the staff (translates directly to: drunkest): DMB and Buffet, closely followed by Phish. Ozzfest: totally chill crowd. My point isn't that DMB or Buffet crowds are bad (I'm included in those groups), but just that crowds were often "easy" or "hard" to deal with in ways we didn't expect.
Another interesting stereotyping observation about Bonnaroo: I cut off my hair (was down to my butt) in '05. Anywhere out in the lot, Shakedown, etc. I was treated completely differently (basically ignored). Everything about me was identical except I cut my hair and a group of people that seemed warm and friendly to me '02-'04 treated me like I didn't exist. I don't necessarily blame them, just an observation.
I find it interesting that "hippies"and "punks" are all about nonconformity and break away from mainstream society only to form groups of their own that shun people for not conforming to their standards.

I've been to a country concert before and I will never go again. Drunk rednecks are probably the worst to be around. Racism, fighting, and other ridiculous stuff. Here in Columbus, people don't know how to act at concert whether it be country, rock, or whatever.
I've had my hand stepped on. Wasn't sure if it was a frat guy or not. It was the year of Dave and friends. Wouldn't be so bad if when he realized he stepped on my hand and said sorry. Instead he laughed.
Not all frat guys are bad and not all hippies are good.
