its a pity in ireland you can't go to any mainstream pop rap act without expecting messy 16 year olds. the older crowd need to take these gigs back from the kids.

I've a theory, and like most of my theories, it requires a healthy dose of salt. During the recession was a glorious time for the older crowd, who worked 9-5 jobs and could afford to go out for pints or a few gigs. Meanwhile, the kids emigrated or struggled with horrible unpaid interships etc.

So, from say 2008-2018 was a glorious era for old fogies, an era we thought might never end. But now the kids have money to buy their tickets and ecstasy* and are suddenly crowding out the previous generation.

Well, we had it good for a while. Pubs with a bit of life but where you could get a seat, reasonably priced early bird dinners, amazing bands playing for 60 quid or less. All gone now. It's the young people's turn. The foreman says these jobs are going boy, and they ain't coming back etc




*or whatever it is kids take these days. Some kind of future space drug no doubt.
