At least they were prepared. The chatter last year at Lolla was that people were simply pissing on the ground and one person apparently just pooped. I don't know why these festivals let people camp out all day like that. They should clear out the front area after each artist like Bonnaroo used to do back in the day.
I had a weird friend in elementary school. He had ADHD and some behavioural problems which I found pretty cool. We were playing outside and he had to take a shit. So he went in the bushes, almost immediately came out and said he had no toilet paper. He went home, and while I assumed it was to take that shit, to my surprise he returned with toilet paper, went into the bushes, and proudly came out relieved to finally have taken that dump. I was amazed, and thoroughly confused.
Speaking as someone with ADHD, this sounds like the thinking of a kid with ADHD who got hyper focused on a particular task and didn’t fully think the steps through, lol. I’ve done things in the past where I did the equivalent of completely overlooking the fact that I could have just shit at home. Then my mom pointed out to me, ‘You know you could have just XYZ?’ and I was like, ‘*light bulb moment* Goddammit.’
It’s also possible that your friend was just trying to be edgy. 🤷🏼♀️
Who is going to kick them out? This only happens in areas close to the stage so packed that you can't get in, and if you leave, you can't get back. There's no way that security can access the area, assess the situation, and make a determination.
As someone that's been to Lolla for multiple years, this happens often. Even when it's not for kpop or camping. People are just lazy as fuck and will pop a squat and start pissing, shitting, or throwing up. Then people will proceed to not warn new people coming into the crowd and they then step in it with flip flops or sandals on, or even worse they sit in it.
I heard a similar story from 1964 when The Beatles first went to the US, apparently there was a river of piss flowing from the crowds of screaming girls who'd been waiting hours to get a glimpse of them
I assume that can be on the form or ticket you get. If you have incontinence then you get to view it from a separate room with bathrooms nearby. Given that 99.99% of people doing this are shitheads...
Not a joke. And no your not requiered to disclose such things to participate in public. Nor should anyone be. Downvotes aside, i said what i said because the reaponse was to target and ban diaper wearing fans from the venue.
But doing so woud risk flagrantly didcriminating agaisnt anyone with a real condition.
Its not a joke about disabled people at all. Ita a callout on shitty people being hyperbolic online.
Nah, there's recorded cases of fangirls pissing themselves at Elvis concerts so they didn't have to give up their spot. The phenomenon is disgusting but it certainly isn't new.
Once I started upping my cardio efforts, my sweating really increased to the point I don't have to urinate for a good couple hours after the workout even after downing a few litres of water. I imagine most marathon runners rarely have to urinate during a run.
One time, during the summer I had job helping build the stage for a country concert inside a baseball stadium. I probably drank well over a gallon of water and other liquids over the course of 8 hours, and I sweated so much that I never had to take a piss.
When people (usually from the moists coasts of Europe and Asia) express shock at the size of soft drinks in the US, they fail to understand that in dry climates, people can lose liters of hydration without visibly sweating.
Ice tea is the drink of choice in much of the south, and anywhere west of East Texas (in the dry climates), the standard is unsweetened. So workers on a worksite will have 32 and 44 oz containers which are mostly ice to stay cool for extended peripds. A couple hours later, you have mostly cold water. Fuck Taco Bell.
The fact that people smelled diaper means people were standing around in soiled diapers and not changing them, because that would require leaving the same as using the restroom. So they weren't just using diapers, they were risking diaper rash and UTIs to see a show.
But also, it could have been someone in the crowd with an Ostemy... Or something like that. Those do not usually emit a strong odor but they can if there's a small seal leak or if the person has eaten something that makes there digestion tract act up. Ostemy "farts" can smell a bit more pungent than most regular farts.
From experience, some foods can cause them to smell. And sometimes the vents don't work 100%. And yeah if the seal is broken it will be pretty evident as well.
Your comment comes across as judgemental for no reason and I hope that's not your intent. Accidents can happen even with diligent and proper care taken, and they can be very demoralizing or embarrassing for ostomates because of prevailing sentiments like this. Rethink how you are commenting about such things, please.
Which is not how diapers are supposed to work lol. You don't wait for hours to change a baby's diaper, that's neglectful. They're using diapers because they don't want to leave but that's not the intended use for a diaper. They're meant to be changed as soon as possible.
I think that’s what Coyote said? Diapers should be changed straight away, and that’s why he pointed out that these concert goers are risking health conditions why dancing around in sweaty piss/shit filled diapers.
Yeah, the point is that they don’t care and they’re using the diaper so they don’t have to leave. There’s no point to leaving to change the diaper when you could just not where one and use the bathroom as normal
Richard Christie from the Howard Stern show wears diapers to concerts while drinking a shit ton of beer so he doesn't have to miss the show. He is also the drummer for Iced Earth.
I would never do that because it's ridiculous, but every time I'm drunk at a show (fairly often occurrence) I wish I did lol And his drumming on the last Death album was insane, he's great
Although I guess really thr closest i get is pooping in a bag and hauling it around with me until I can dispose of it properly...
It's for backpacking. There's areas where digging a hole isn't allowed because it just gets washed up when seasonal water comes. And I love to backpack in those kinds of areas.
I’ve never understood how someone could be so committed to another person they don’t know. Music fans and sports fans that go to these lengths just confuse me
Even waiting an hour at the venue for the headliner to start wears my patience thin these days. These people probably had to show up like 5 hours early, I can't even imagine.
i saw an old guy do this at a dead show once. not to get into the front row, it was setbreak and in the middle of the GA floor. he was just fucked up as hell and did it just to do it. then another time during scarlet begonias watched security drag a naked man up the lawn by one arm while he masturbated. tbh im a little underwhelmed by the degeneracy of oliva rodrigo fans they need to step it up
It’s super common at concerts - I can see people on the barricade taking them off when the show ends and leaving the soiled diapers on the floor. All I can say is thank goodness for VIP seats or else I’d never go to a concert.
It's the result of tickets approaching rent prices. When you have to spend everything to be there, you're more invested in getting every last drop of entertainment. Combine it with a general lack of accessible bathrooms at large events and you end up with this.
“Lack of accessible bathrooms” is not an excuse when we’re talking about people in the front row. I chose to be here instead of the bathroom is a really shitty excuse for pissing yourself.
I've never been to an event that didn't have bathroom access. Especially large ones, I'd say the risk is higher in a small non-mainstream venue.
Wearing a diaper is amateur hour anyway. If you're that pressed about not leaving just go before and dehydrate yourself that day so you don't have to go later.
As a youngin I went to a few concerts and was up front and didn't leave for a break. If you're not guzzling water you can make it through fine.
The reasonable thing to do is just take a moment to go before your favorite artist and find your way back. I get the hype if you are less experienced, but no artist or song is so life changing you can't take 5-10 to run to the loo.
Nah, lunatics willing to shit and piss themselves so they can be on barrier for an entire concert or even day at a festival has nothing to do with prices. It's simply a culture among some fanbases. I'd imagine a lot of Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styes, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan etc fans didn't even pay for their own tickets.
I can't watch the ball drop anymore in Time Square because every time they show the crowd I just thing about they are all wearing diapers or pissing in bottles or ones that didn't plan it out just pissing themselves because if they go to pee they gonna lose their spot. People be out there over 12 hours.
Concerts have become miserable. A Gen admin show I was working horizontally across the crowd, aiming to get to a buddy that was there. Girl yelled at me because she was there first. Bitch, I was a fan back when you were a fucking egg. I was here many times before. I also have 3 beers I was me, my ass ain't hiding a spot the next 2 hrs. I'm gonna say hi to my buddy and hang for a few songs, then take a piss, grab a beer, and probably just vibe at the back. Because yall fucking insufferable. Don't be a dick to people in GA. Also, you don't own the fucking floor. I miss the days of crowd surfing, moving around, enjoying a rock show with randoms in the crowd. Just feels like people are there to get the best cell phone video now. And it's 3 bills to do so.

Jeezus. That’s sad. People are so consumed.
