AUDIENCE
VULGARIZATION
?[-----]?

Once upon a time not so long ago, you could've heard a pin drop, whenever someone performed in front of an audience.

Not anymore.

It's like the average audience-IQ has dropped a hundred points.
Well.....at least fifty?
During rock concerts, people now scream non-stop no matter who's playing what, so we must assume that they come to scream, and not to listen. Or if they thought they came to listen, screaming turned out to be their A-1 priority need. It's disgusting. Really. Because you literally cannot hear the band anymore, which is why normal music-lovers no longer attend concerts, thereby handing all their power over to the screamers.

During Country Music concerts, the entire audience sings along with the performer. They don't ask if they can do this. They just do it. Mark Chestnut has found a wonderful way to deal with this: he just stops singing, tells the band to stop playing, then invites the audience to sing the entire damn song by themselves. Which they do, of course, without even realizing what's happening.

Retired-type audiences have decided that it's totally OK for them to clap their hands non-stop, during whichever performance they decide to attend. And they're usually clapping way off rhythm, which turns the entire thing into an ugly monstrosity.

And then there's the indiscriminate laughers..........Steven Wright was walking around the stage starting one of his really funny tales.
SW: "I went to the drugstore, last night......"
Why does the audience laugh like crazy?
SW: "So there....on a shelf......"
Why does the audience again laugh like crazy?
SW: "I found a ........."
So now the idiot audience immediately roars with laughter, and none of them could even hear the punchline!

WTF IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE?
