Bouncing around is probably not feasible for Metallica fans. Their mobility aids are gonna be a real hindrance.

Haha, leave my walker out of this! It probably has something to do with pop music having insanely heavy bass, while metal does not.
The article claims it's the fans, not the music.
Metal fans don't tend to be as bouncy as pop fans. At least not up/down jumping bouncy
True, especially old-ass Metallica fans like me
It can be two things 🤷🏻♂️
Dear God, they're going seismic
The Swifties are a force not to be trifled with. Let us hope they never join forces with the BeyHive or the country will be lost to them.
God help us all if they join forces with the K-Pop Stans...
Swifties go harder than metal fans, confirmed.
Metallica hasn't really been heavy in like twenty years.
You misspelled "thirty years".
Shhh let me keep some of my youth intact
St. Anger was a banger and I refuse to pretend it's not 😤
The only thing banger was that Lars banged on that god awful snare
It's more that what has defined 'metal' has moved far away from it was in the 80s.
Which isn't really surprising considering how much what defined 'rock' had changed between the 50s and the 80s.
Also, this is the west coast we're talking about. They don't go hard in general. :P
Seriously, though, I felt like a wallflower on the east coast and then a Tasmanian Devil on the west coast, when my own behavior didn't really change. The energy is different!
Edit: I was referring specifically to my experience at metal concerts, but now that I think about it, also in general.
Huh, I wonder what they would find if someone played Queen's we will rock you.
The CNN article has some seismograms:

The “Eras” tour heads to Santa Clara in Northern California on Friday, and continues with six shows in Los Angeles next month to cap off her US tour run.
L.A. is going to be in ruins by May!
That must confuse all the ground dwelling creatures lol
That's a bit too loud. Eh?
Travis did it first
He was hardly the first. This is extremely common during large events.
I mean, physics.
Who?
Travis scott
Ah okay, never heard of him. My first thought was Travis Barker, but that seemed too oddly specific, rather than just naming the band lol
Or the UK band Travis
Travis Barker probably achieves this all on his own, anyway.
