Right before the band starts, everyone surges forward!!!

Before a concert

Meeting people

People who cut in line -_-

Ettiquette

Holding articles of clothing up and passed around for owners to reclaim

Helping fellow concerts when they fall

Camaraderie among other people who have similar interests

lighters are held in the air to signal an encore or a power ballad

cell phones are used in place of lighters

In general, singing along may not be disapproved

Fans may shout or scream or whistle during songs, but not continuously.
