Is it ok to be slam dancing at concerts at 48? I had a lot of fun, but if someone said it was a bit wrong, I'd totally get it.

@huckleberryhound saidI get it. And I think it's perfectly fine, so long as you're not 150kg bashing against 65kg teenagers.

Don't be that guy!
I recall a Sonic Youth concert when in my mid-30s, where 18 year old kids bounced off me like so many pinballs.
It was glorious fun! But I felt a little guilty afterward.

@huckleberryhound saidI never understood the point of that anyway, but I think it is independent from age (as long as you let people in peace who don't want to be slammed).

@woofwoof saidNah, it was mainly just jumping around and being shoved. It was a punk gig not a metal gig, and there were plenty guys there a lot bigger than me. There was also a bouncer in the area making sure it was just fun (which it was). There was a wrist band section at the front, and I didn't even know what it was for when I was given it.

@huckleberryhound saidNever ask permission for anything, except maybe sex, and even then … if you need to “ask”… well perhaps you should not be there anyway.
