Swifties caused seismic activity during Taylor Swift’s Los Angeles show: New research

It turns out Swifties really do know how to “Shake It Off.”

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.”

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.
