Can we stop the hate? My experience as a 30+ fan at the Lisbon & Birmingham shows.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share some love for the Tame Impala crowd, including the "young ones."

I went to the Birmingham show last night specifically to see it sober (Lisbon was a bit of a blur...) and being in the standing section in my 30s gave me a good perspective.

Is there a lot of TikTok filming? Yes. Are there screaming teenagers? Sure. But as an Asian woman who’s been through the chaos of Notting Hill Carni twice, this crowd is incredibly TAME and respectful.

Most people were chill AF. I even took a Polaroid for some girls nearby. And for everyone worried about the TikTokification of the fans, just look at how much they collectively hate the Jennie remix. The kids are alright, and their taste is still solid.
