This week on Educate Your Earbuds, we’re diving into the discourse that’s lighting up music TikTok, Reddit threads, and even Tyler, The Creator’s new album — is Gen Z ruining the live music experience? 👀From the "fear of being perceived" to standing still instead of dancing, plus a noticeable rise in questionable concert etiquette (you know what we mean), the vibes at live shows have definitely shifted. But is Gen Z really to blame? Or is the internet just being dramatic... again?We break down what’s changed in live music culture, whether audiences are becoming too self-conscious to have fun, and how generational habits may be impacting concerts for everyone.If you’ve ever side-eyed someone recording an entire set or debated whether to rage or vibe—this episode’s for you. 🎤Thanks for listening!
