Swifties caused seismic activity during Taylor Swift’s Los Angeles show: New research
3 years ago by Flying Squid to c/nottheonion
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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!
Travis did it first
I mean, physics.
Travis scott
Travis Barker probably achieves this all on his own, anyway.

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