That concert was so brutal in terms of sound level. I was in the pit and people were using cigarette filters as earplugs. That’s how loud it was. I’m pretty sure that’s why I have mild tinnitus now.

I went to a Death Grips concert (my first "real" concert) and got in super early, so I ended up in front leaning against the guard rails right in front of a speaker. I only had one ear plug because my friend lost his pair, and god damn the speakers felt like canons against my ears but I wasn't about to move because I had a great spot with nobody in between me and MC Ride.

I ran into another friend of mine on my way out of the building, and my ears were so bad I couldn't understand a word he said lol. Shit was wild, 10/10 would do it again

I don't understand how people can go to music shows without ear plugs. I don't even attend metal music, which seem to crank it up to the point of losing sound quality, just for the sake of "bad assery" I guess.

I feel bad for kids being brought to concerts without them, too.
