Why do girls and young women do this?

Flukey

Why do they scream during concerts? What use does it do? If they think the particular singer or band they are watching are so wonderful, why don't they shut up and listen to them?

As for them going wild over some guy on stage, had the same guy walked past them on the street the day before he came famous they probably wouldn't have thought there was anything special about him. If you put the hunchback of Notre Dame into a boy band, you'd have girls drooling at the sight of him. Insanity. Of course, he'd probably be the best singer.

Then you have the madness of when these bands break up or even one member leaves, there are girls in tears over this as if the end of the world had come. It is completely crazy.

You're jealous Flukey. And bitter too. You're the 6th member of Westlife, so close to hitting the big time but in the end got shafted by Uncle Louis magical wand. Let the lads enjoy the fame, glory and underage chicks (apart from the gay fella). They may be shiteless talentless feckless eejits but at least they're not jealous and bitter.

Simple hysteria.

The term originates with the Greek medical term, hysterikos. This referred to a medical condition, thought to be particular to women, caused by disturbances of the uterus, hystera in Greek. The term hysteria was coined by Hippocrates, who thought that suffocation and madness arose in women whose uteri had become too light and dry from lack of sexual intercourse and, as a result, wandered upward, compressing the heart, lungs, and diaphragm.

The same general definition, or under the name female hysteria, came into widespread use in the middle and late 19th century to describe what is today generally considered to be sexual dissatisfaction.[1] Typical treatment was massage of the patient's genitalia by the physician and later vibrators or water sprays to cause orgasm.[1] By the early 1900s, the practice and usage of the term had fallen from use until it was again popularized when the writings of Sigmund Freud became known and influential in Britain and the USA in the 1920s. The Freudian psychoanalytic school of psychology uses its own, somewhat controversial, ways to treat hysteria.

Once they are old enough they will go down the porn shop and self prescribe a dirty big dildo, then they are cured.

i've heard about them, and supposedly they are bringing out the greatest hits model that vibrates in the tune of such 'classics' as 'flying without wings' and 'we aren't sure if we like boys or girls'.

Spot on kickoutthejams. You and Pighead are singing off the same hymnsheet.

This guy is a 3rd wheel, he's the guy who arrives at the party when the music has stopped and everybody has gone home.

He's the eejit from Boyzone who made a tit of himself on the late late show and then got kicked out of the band thus missing out on the proceeding years of fame and fortune. He's Dustin Hoffman telling Scorcese to fcuk off when offered the role in Taxi Driver. He's a dog with no tail.

It's a good point, but maybe women would say the same about Men & Football ...

Yeah, why do men get the horn from seeing a load of other men running around a field kicking a ball and wearing shorts?

Pretty sure that's why he didn't get the gig.

That's blatantly untrue.

Only around half of us get erections when watching football.

Overheal

There there OP, if you never started smoking as a child maybe you could have screamed like a girl, too.

Ha!:D

OP, the screaming people at concerts is my ultimate pet hate, second pet hate is when the singer you've come to see gets the audience to sing... I PAID TO SEE YOU SING, NOT THE AUDIENCE....:mad:

Wimmens are stupid, that's why.

BobTheBeat

Interesting.. anthropologically speaking apparently they arent screaming to get the attention of the singer on stage,but are merely signalling to the group as a whole that they are sexually mature.¬_¬

biko

Wimmins scream at concerts, men shout at the telly.
What's the difference?

Latchy

That was the beatles biggest gripe , that they couldent hear themselfs over the screaming .No wonder they stopped touring

I do remember an old gent telling me he was an usher at the concert they did in dublin way back in 1963 and he said ' jesus ya couldent hear a bloody thing with all those young wan screaming ' and he was incensed by it all

Why do they scream? The simplest explanation is usually correct. The answer lies here.
