Rising star Beabadoobee, who’s built a massive following with her dreamy indie tunes, recently took to Instagram Live to complain about her fans’ behavior at concerts. Yep, at just 24, she’s already dishing out concert etiquette advice like a veteran rock star!
On September 21, 2024, Beabadoobee’s Instagram Live session gave fans a taste of her frustration. She expressed concerns about the “lack of concert etiquette” among younger fans, singling out three major issues: letting others enjoy the concert, polite pushing, and the timing of TikTok memes. Her biggest gripe was fans shouting the “Fien” meme during a performance of Girl Song. Beabadoobee wants everyone to have fun, but not at the expense of others. Maybe it’s time for a new rulebook on how to behave at concerts?
Complaining about concert etiquette and meme timing feels oddly reminiscent of older generations complaining about “kids these days.” It’s a classic case of every generation eventually growing tired of the next one.
Because Beabadoobee isn’t alone. Just a few weeks earlier, pop singer Chappell Roan also had to set boundaries with her fans. After some creepy behavior from superfans — like crossing personal boundaries — Roan took to Instagram to remind fans that she’s more than just an artist on stage.
Beabadoobee and Chappell Roan’s recent complaints show that every generation has its tipping point. Is it possible that kids these days are really THAT wild? Or are the rising stars overreacting? Let us know what you think!
