Andrew comes back from a weekend of concerts with a theory: Gen Z doesn’t watch the show — they film it from six angles. The crew debates concert etiquette, crowd scams, and how to sneak backstage with nothing but a clipboard and confidence.

Get your hands together, and we're gonna start to part
I'm running a party, the.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Elvis Duran After Party.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
All right, every really welcome to the after Party Podcast.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
He's a guest, Andy joining us his fresh off of
his elation from.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
The Yeah I had a concert bench. I saw Tam
and Paula this weekend in Brooklyn. I saw to bring
a carpenter at Madison Square Garden and I have an observation.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Oh okay, and I'm very fascinated.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Why is it that the young ins are going to
concerts and filming several different ways. They are bringing a
like their phone, they'll record the entire concert, and there's
also the gen z lean. No one's talking about it,
but they all lean back, so then you have no
personal space if you're on the floor and or in
a seat. And then they're filming there on their phone
the concert. Then they have to get their reaction singing
(01:00):
along to it. But then they pull out an old
digital camera to also record the medium in like the concert.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
In that way, they are they putting it together as
something later on, like a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Like fireworks. No one cares. No one's gonna look back
at this footage. You were not a documentarian. This is
not going anywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Why are you recording?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
And not just because everyone is so self absorbed, because
you know, we've given people an amplification system social media,
and people think that everything that they put out there
is super important and everybody wants to see it, and
you know, guilty as charged.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
What percentage of the crowd was filming instead of actually
just watching the show?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I would say a solid seventy five percent, not in
the moment at all.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
The problem with that is you're not enjoying what you're wanting.
You're not even watching.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Really, you have her.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
In fun of you and you're watching through a lens.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Right, it makes no sense to me. I try and
maybe do one or two pictures, or if I like
the song, I'll try and get maybe like five quick seconds. Yes,
I'm never gonna rewatch it, but in my head, I'm like, oh,
this is.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Fine, and then I'm not gonna post it while i'm there.
I like to like, if I take a little clip,
then I'm going to post it later because I want.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
To enjoy while i'm there.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
The worst is the people singing along and like filming
and then like turning it around and singing along. It's
like it's so obnoxious, and then you're getting all the
people behind you in your video and they didn't ask
to be in your video.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
How many videos are you in a lot? And I certainly.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Didn't pay to see other people singing or hear other
people singing. I want to hear Sabrina.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, this was.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The problem with the Taylor Swift show because they screamed
at the top of their lungs.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
The entire stadium was screaming. I couldn't hear tell hard times.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
See singing along to me isn't as bad as the
filming singing. I feel you should feel free to sing.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
You're going to sing along.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
It's not a Broadway show, it's a concert.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, but you could sing along at a nice place.
You don't have to scribe like that.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Would say you Gandhi.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I agree. I mean with all of it, I got it.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
I think I'm a short person, so when everyone starts recording,
it's even less of you for me. But I also
understand people want to take it in. However they take
it in. I just think it's really annoying because no
one's living in the moment at all anymore, not even
little everyone's concerned with what something looks like, not what
something was like or what it felt like.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So you know, and hey, you know I like to
sit down at a concert.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
I can't do that anymore, or.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I mean, and then there's Scott.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, I think if there's a wait, what why are
you sitting down like a Sabrina Carpenter concert?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Because there's a seat.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He gets tired his knees.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
There's a seat there.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
What is it for his siatica?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
For me, it's to stand on so I can see over.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
If you want to stand, you should go on to
general admission in the middle there.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
On the floor.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I can't see anything there. Oh well, I get a
riser or something.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
But the seats are for sitting.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
The seat is for me to stand on sometimes block
out of everybody else.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The kids were also doing something else.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
At the drugs No drugs, but I.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Noticed me and my were sitting there, and all of
a sudden, the row in front of us to start
getting more and more packed, And I'm like, Jack, do
you see this. It's like basically general admission in this
row right now. Yeah, they're always crowding into this.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
They crushed into the row.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Yeah, but they don't have to show their ticket.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Well, once they do, they just kind of start moving
down more.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
There's a scan it out. We've done it before.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, it's greenshots pressing.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
I never saw that, not even the screenshots. But it's like, okay,
so I got in here. Three of the four of
us came in here, take three of these tickets out
with one person, and now oh, three more people are
in there, and you're just you know, sharing, they.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Stand in front of you. So this way, it's like
six people are now in three seats.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah. Yeah, guilty is charged on that one too. I
had some friends show up.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
To the roof Is the Soul concert and they had better,
worse seats than us, and we just said, oh, you
come into our row, and we kind of crowded, like
double the amount of people into our row.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
That's not fair for the people who actually pay for
them to.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Said no, as long as the people who have seats
get their seats, you want to be uncomfortable, but if
you take my seat, then I'm gonna be annoying.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
The thing is, yeah, twelve seats in a row that
are seated as only twelve people, but if everyone's standing
across twelve seats you can fit twenty four people want
to do it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Oh yeah, he would be staunchly like that. Bernie Sanders
mean like, yeah, it was fascinating. I didn't really get it.
I also have a theory that if you're just wearing
all black and you walk in with authority, like you
could get on the floor, you could basically get wherever
you want for sure.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Really, I think anywhere if you walk in like you've
been there and like you're supposed to be there, they
let you through. How many times have we scammed our
way into something because we're just like, yeah, I was.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Told to fill in the blank. No one told me.
I told myself that's what I.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Wanted to do. Change full of keys hanging off the belt.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Loop amazing, No, Janitor, No, you have to look like
you're with like a record label.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't know what kind of key card props. What
kind of props could you have?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Prop your phone and you're just like typing and then
you just keep walking. Nobody stops you.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
I think the fewer props the better.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, you have to look like you're supposed to be there.
Mister Jangly Keys with Liken be.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Like Sitcom, The Three people who look desperate.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Person someone important, they got keys that open stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I would just think like, is he a hoarder? Like
how many storage units does he have?
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Weren't you the person that said only poor people walk
down the street with keys, everybody else has a driver.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
You said that, yeah, charged.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
So he said that I do poor people things like
all the time. One of them is I have keys,
which signifies that I don't have a driver, so I'm poor.
And the other one is take leftovers, because no one's
walking down the streets in New York with keys and leftovers.
You don't see Rihanna with keys and leftovers. You're right,
she has other people to hold it for. I am
a poor person.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I worked down the street with both. Yeah, you're poor.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
The concerts when you break those keys out, because all
of a sudden, that's a rich person.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Think you talkie something like that clip clipboard.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
You're thinking this, Please do this show up with a
janitor key of a ring of keys, a clipboard and
an earpiece piece.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, that will get every time.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
They're gonna be like, what is this? What the nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Four Let's take your pass at jingle Ball and give
you only the things you just said to see where
you can get through at jingle Ball at the Garden.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Actually, yeah, that would be a really good idea. I'd
pay to see that.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Actually me too.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Like, also, make sure you're going with friends who don't
look desperate at all.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
No, Scary's going to show up, you know, Scary. He'll
be like, I'm just for you one person. He'll show
up with twelve people that are all like, yeah, we're
here with Scary.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
They all have clipboards. Think for next Halloween, we just
have that bag with Scary's costume and it's got the
key ring all access many great time there, Andy overall
five stars, Sabrina both.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Nights, ten out of ten, Sabrina Carpenter so much fun,
Tame and Paula so good. I just think maybe gen
Z slash Jen Alpha. If you're going to the concerts,
it's the aesthetic. I understand you're trying to go for.
It's just don't do it anymore.
Speaker 6 (08:03):
You used to be the young man in the room.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Now now you're the quatchity old man in the room.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I just think that I'm lucky enough to have lived
in a generation before social media where I could appreciate
going to a concert.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Just go to a Everybody needs validation. Now I was there.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, that is crazy if you think about it, like
they have no idea.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
What that's like, no idea.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
They say the millennials are the last great generation.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Because they have seen it both ways.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
We built it. We built the thing that's going to
destroy society. That's all expected. Isn't it great?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Go for us, Andrew, Thanks for putting it out, Andrew
Speaker 4 (08:41):
