Best parts:
“Researchers were able to identify 43 of the 45 songs played within the recorded spectrograms.”
Researchers then compared Swift’s show to that of Metallica’s at SoFi. The heavy metal band performed on Aug. 25 and Aug. 27 at the stadium. The band “had the weakest signals in terms of the strongest magnitude from each concert,” Tepp said.
“Metal fans like to headbang a lot, so they’re not necessarily bouncing,” Tepp added. “It might just be that the ways in which they move don’t create as strong of a signal.”
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.
