    Damn everyone bashing the chick that was next to me singing loud af. I wasn't singing bc I didn't wanna be loud af in the video I was recording but It was so hard for me not to sing along to my fave song 😭 She was living her best life tho. Let her live, it's a concert, a lot of people were singing it's just that she was directly next to me so she sounds hella loud lol. People sing at concerts it's nbd.

      @@turnttaco7661 In the US, maybe. In other places, we go to concerts because we want to listen to the musicians, not the audience. We don't sing (no that loud at least) except when they request it. It's a matter of basic respect.

      @@runefaustblack yeah, must be super different because every concert I've ever been to everyone is singing at the top of their lungs. Performers even point the mic to the crowd to get them to be louder, lol. It's awkward when everyone's just standing around. Performers feed off the energy and honestly expect everyone to sing along here. They usually say when they want people to be quiet during a song instead of the other way around. Has nothing to do with respect.

      antagonist but not the villain the villain was Hamilton (or more accurately his Anger was the villain)
      *edit* I will say since i posted this I read up on Burr and after the duel, he did some real shady stuff including trying to start a second revolutionary ware in Mexico, not because he was altruistic but because he owned land there that would have been valuable if they broke away from Spain)
