english talking area :)

Ohh music don't get me started I love pop-punk! And pretty much everything else No specific genres. And you? :)

@Schicksalsschlag, what else do you like?

Mostly metal.

But also Indie and stuff.

I like goth-style music, goth-rock, postpunk, darkwave, EBM ... Anyone been to festivals?

I've never been to any festival.

I've been to several festivals! I love being there, it's like my second home ...or it used to be until the depression started -.- Where've you been? :)

I've neither been on festivals, but i would have loved to go to the Splash!16. I was too young then and my mother wouldn't have let me to go there.
Sooorry for my bad english! But without practice it won't get better. :)

you are quite right about that, raininmyway. But, rest assured, your English is not bad at all.

I've been four times to the Amphi Festival in Cologne and once to the M'era Luna.

Oh, I've heard of the M'era Luna but I've never been there! How was it? :)

@Raininmay You're absolutely right: only practice will help getting better! :) But nobody's perfect, and I'm 100% sure that my English is not very good, either Thank God we have this loving forum to train a bit

Why do you like festivals?

I would have loved to go to festivals, but I never had friends I could go with...

@Angelsammy Did you mean me? I love(d) festivals because... they're kinda like home. The people there (not everyone, sure, but it used to be the main part) are so loving and nice and funny and open for everything. You can make contact with everyone, it's just like... family, I don't have a better word. They're complete strangers, but they treat you like an old friend and vice versa. If you see someone wearing a shirt of a band you like, or a festival you've been to or wanted to go, or a show you like.. you can just talk to them, and they reply like it's the most normal thing in the world. I think that's what I like most: there's no distance between strangers who never met before. I think that's what I miss in our culture.
Oh, and the music, of course Live music is - used to be - my life. At festivals, you can party with complete strangers, find people who love the band as much as you do, and guys often help you to get on someone's (or their own) shoulders, if you want to see better at a specific song or something like that. Not to forget your friends, who just like the music, the flair, the freedom and the people as much as you do.

Yeah. I think that's it... I hope I could help you understand

@Emily94, yes, I meant you:-). Interesting, you could not live without it?

I could :D I do right now. But it would've broken my heart if I wanted to go to one and couldn't (English has too little words for können/könnte -.-). It really was something I waited for for months, and I was soo happy when me and my former best friend went to one. Festivals were the highlights of these years, and the more per season we went to, the happier we became The rest of the year we went to as many concerts as possible, checked new announcements for next year's festivals, raged about higher prices, searched as many people as possible to come with us (which never worked ), thought about how to get there... summarizing, we prepared the next season ;)

@Emily94, what are your musical plans for 2018?
