Which these days is unfortunately true in just about every venue, and at nearly every show. It’s the double-edged sword for a growing music scene these days; finally we are getting great shows in OKC, and more than ever new people are discovering the joy of live music. But along with the cultural mainstreaming of concerts you get a big chunk of people who are only there for the scene and for the ‘Gram, but who aren’t truthfully lovers of music.
Back when only about 50-100 people routinely showed up for the rare live show that came to town, statistically EVERYONE at that show was there for that band and that show, not to see or be seen. But with only 50-100 people showing up reliably, it also meant far fewer quality shows here. It’s a catch 22.
