The pit definitely was softer compared to other shows. The Elgin crew who would normally start them is a smaller percentage of the crowd at every show as they get bigger.
I do think their shows are fun regardless but screaming the lyrics/moshing/etc. in a room full of a couple hundred (or less than 100) people is what made their past shows a blast. Now when you have a bunch of kids/teens/people who found them through TikTok and aren't regular Beach Bunny (or punk/hardcore, where moshing is most prevalent) showgoers, they likely aren't going to mosh or feel comfortable moshing. Some of the people I was next to in the pit seemed visibly annoyed they kept getting bumped into, which was never the case at the smaller shows because everyone knew what to expect. Or they aren't going to know other Beach Bunny set staples like the clapping during Boys, whereas at the smaller shows everyone knew what to do without being told.
Don't Call Beach Bunny a TikTok Band It must be really annoying to basically be referred to as a "TikTok band" (one example of many: The TikTok-Ready Sounds of Beach Bunny) and all the work you put into your music and growing your band be reduced to going viral on TikTok. Yes, that's a part of how they blew up, but it's not the only reason (the songs are very catchy and they would have blown up eventually anyways) and coming from that viewpoint seems weird, like the band HAS to be associated with TikTok.
Can someone help me figure out if I’ve gone insane and tell me if the version of Cloud 9 on Spotify is different than it was 2 days
I was on the fence about the vinyl, and when I finally decided to pull the trigger today I find it's sold out everywhere. Someone on discogs was selling it new and sealed for $20 so I snatched that up because I don't think it'll stay that price for long.
