Which One Are You?

The Budweiser Made In America Festival is a massive musical celebration, located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway taken place over Labor Day Weekend, kissing summer goodbye for good.This large musical festival hosted by Beyonce and Jay Z contains dozens of top performers and multiple stages. Rihanna and Coldplay headlined for the festival, while there were plenty of other enjoyable artists there representing all types of different genres. Music festivals are a great way to get outdoors and enjoy some groovy music while with your friends in the nice weather. When enjoying yourself throughout the weekend, there always seems to be the distinct ‘concert groups’ you could call them that classify every personality in the book. Listed below are just a few I encountered over the weekend. If you're reading a section and can’t think of anyone you know who would fit into that category...chances are it's you.


The Partier: Everyone knows this friend. The crazy one. The one who is always down to meet new people and dance with them like they’ve known them forever. The outgoing one-singing along to every song shuffling to the beat like it's so natural to them.


The Tech: Don’t be this guy. Social media is a cruel thing nowadays. Many people are so wrapped up around the fact they are at a concert, boasting about it over social media to their friends sitting at home, they forget the fact they are there to enjoy the music and be around friends, not brag about how you saw Rihanna three rows back. They are always too busy and preoccupied recording every single song on their phone, rather than enjoying the music in the moment and reflecting back later with the mere reliance of memory.


The Awk: Oh, the awk. The awkard. The “I don't know how to dance” or “I don't even know this song why would I dance”, as they awkwardly sway their awkward body to the music tapping their awkward foot to the beat. Let loose! Have fun! Let your body relax and stop worrying about what other people will think about your dancing! Nobody is ever ‘too cool’ to dance to a upbeat song, afraid of the judgment of those around them.

 The Social Med: There were tons of these types of girls all weekend long. This person is usually best friends and paired up with "The Tech" to be her personal photographer. Like mentioned before, people will go to reckless limits to get a good picture for their IG feed to get the maximum likes possible. This person is usually an obnoxious girl, asking her friends to take 'candids' of her every move she makes, and don't worry... you will see them on all her social media accounts later.
