[...] wel op Amerikanen, maar alsnog erg leuk om allemaal te lezen. Check bijvoorbeeld deze over Juno, stilstaan bij concerten [...]

Bahh, the “white men can’t dance” myth was made up by uptight puritanical immigrants 300 years ago and you are still buying into it!!?!! Too bad sucker. I’ll be shaking my white ass whenever I fell the groove, taunting all you wankers on the sidelines.

i think it’s safe to assume we’re talking about indie or alternative gigs here, and it’s true, but there’s always one or two people(not drunk) dancing like retarded religious freaks, with a big space around them. it is not the done thing to look like you’ve been laughing at them, or pay any attention to them at all. for the best cases of this, go to an ‘ATP’ festival (there might be a post about atp somewhere on this blog already), when i went to one we counted more sonic youth ‘goo’ t shirts, than black people. smaller venues(cafe oto, dalston) frown at talking during gigs too.

Why is it so cool to write about how uncool white people are? Who places that cool bar? And why isn’t this considered “painting with a broad brush” or stereotyping? Here is what this post would look like had it been written about black people. Does anyone have a problem with this? Is this cool?

Music is very important to black people. It truly is the soundtrack to their lives, meaning that black people are constantly thinking about what songs would be on the soundtrack for the biopic. The problem is that most of the music that black people like is really dance-friendly. More often the songs are about guns, money, jewelry, prostitutes, gangsters, etc.

So when black people go to concerts at smaller venues, what to do they do? They dance! This is an important part of black concert going as it enables you to focus on the dancing, and it will draw excess attention to you. Remember, at a concert everyone is watching you just waiting for you to start dancing.

The result is Kanye and Lil Wayne concerts that essentially looks more like a nightclub than a music event.

If you find yourself invited to a concert with a black person, expect to dance. Prepare yourself for three hours of dancing. It is also not advised to get a beer or (if legal) a cigarette so you have something to do with your hands. And it is not acceptable to occasionally raise one hand and point just above the stage.

Note: the addition of the drug ecstasy changes everything

Hey, I’m the whitest, most pretentious prick you know.
I just wanted to let you know that dancing is in again,
but only at ridiculous trendy house parties.

Gogo.
