I was considering posting this over at /jp/ but I figure I'd try Sup Forums first since there's a good chance that you anons might actually have more experience in this matter
Sup Forumstant here
Why do you anons simply flail around your arms and flick your wrists with glow sticks at shows?
To be more specific,I'm having a difficult time understanding live Idol concerts and what kind of atmosphere they're supposed to have.
Can someone that's been to a handful of Idol shows shed some light?

Take just a short glance at /jp/'s catalog and take at look at our catalog and see why you're an idiot.
Probably the same reason kids throw themselves at each other at metal concerts. It's fun and makes you feel like you're a part of something.

/jp/ is slow as shit and scarcely populated
Sup Forums is one of the more popular boards,thus more numbers,which means a better chance at someone redpilling me on idol shows
Sup Forums is too busy with merzbow and other shit that is completely unrelated.
You do go to shows,don't you Sup Forumsnon?
I mean,you go outside in general,don't you?
/jp/ is absolutely loaded with different idol generals that regularly go over the post limit, that's your best stop
If you don't have glowing sticks, a lot of people will be just standing with their arms crossed and just "listening" to music. That's my guess
This is now a Miku thread.

and it's the same dozen or so IP's
sample size is too small
That's totally acceptable to do at a lot of shows,especially with genres like jazz or shoegaze
However Idols play mostly pop music,but not just any pop music,some clusterfuck blend of modern pop,funk,jazz,metal,punk,and pretty much everything inbetween.
Teeny boppers at One Direction shows are jumping up and down while doing modern dance moves,Garth Brooks shows have people line dancing, even Kenny G has people slow dancing and smoking cigarettes.
With all of the different genres associated,is it just easier for everyone to resort to glow sticks and arm flailing?

>just arm flailing
You're fucking retarded and ignorant.

Also, /jp/ is smaller but much more vested in the topic. You're not going to get any help here.

Thank you for Miku-posting user
How do you feel about Vocaloid live shows?
...
Never had the chance to go to one, but I'd love to!

Just watch one

It started as a knockoff of electronic and rave music concerts with a similar concept, problem is most Japanese pedos that go to idol concerts are very shy individuals who don't even do psycodelic drugs in big quantities like their original European counterparts, so they ended up being autistic snorefests of social outcasts flicking their wrists

>Why do you anons
Those are Japs dumb ass, not us.

Japanese bring glowsticks to any kind of live, not only idol ones.

yeah,sorry user
but there's no space to do that at a live show without opening up a pit for a singular,specific song.Based on everyone's complacency however,would this be a dick move to pull off?
mind you,even hip hop shows have pits open up on occasion and fans enter to spit their own bars to the few occasional instrumental verses,sporadically that is.
I've seen a few,the camera work is shit and does nothing to capture the live atmosphere
this seems very plausible
That culture migrated to the states
I've only been to Miku Expo a few years back,and while I had a good time because I'm a fan of Vocaloid,the atmosphere threw me for a loop.Nobody interacting with anyone down on the floor,nobody bouncing up and down,and even during hype shit like PoPiPo everyone just flailed their arms.Granted it was pretty aggressive.Even Lady Gaga shows have people dancing to shit like Speechless.
fun fact,Miku opened up for Lady Gaga during her Monster's Ball tour
Nah,glow sticks seem to be unique to idol shows.You won't see glow sticks at a MoTFD show,that's for sure
Going to a live idol concert would mean leaving my room. Why would I have any experience in that?

>sample size
user if there are people who know about real life idols and how people act at concerts they're there, the amount is irrelevant
You're barking up the wrong tree
Miku shit in merica is definitely not comparable to a real live. Especially the Miku part, I imagine it would feel pretty uncomfortable cheering on a recording playing.
In Japan there are crazy people doing wotagei stuff and idols are interacting with fans. Amount of hugging and jumping depends on autismo levels and atmosphere varies.
This guy explains the basics.
youtube.com
Search for ヲタ芸 in YT and NicoNico if you want to know more about it visually.
You mean the fanbase of a type of music that is typically virgin neckbeards act like a bunch of weird autists at live shows? Really? No. Fucking. Way. You already knew this though so I don't really know why you're asking. The vast, vast majority of people on Sup Forums haven't been to an idol show and never will. Just because miku has occasional shows in NA doesnt mean it's a major thing here. If you legitimately care about the culture/behavior at the live shows ask people who actually go. But again youll just be answering a question with information you already have. "Why does this crowd of primarily autistic shut-ins act weird?? So strange, I don't get it..".
Fuck off.
