Even the sound of it sounded brilliant, unfortunately things started looking upside down when the coronavirus pandemic took over the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most events that were planned were either cancelled or forced to reschedule, from graduations to weddings, sporting events, and for music lovers, the one thing we look forward to the most<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014concerts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had a list of concerts I planned to attend in 2020. Those plans included seeing British pop singer Harry Styles in his Love On Tour to seeing psychedelic Australian one-man-band Tame Impala.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was hard for me to accept that I would not be seeing some of my favorite artists in-person. Attending concerts has always been a big hobby for me. I try to go to at least one every month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although I understand concerts are not happening for the safety of fans and artists, it still feels like a huge emotional loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From screaming at the top of your lungs, jumping around and dancing without a care in the world, to the blinding lights and sometimes even special effects and beams of confetti falling everywhere\u2014no other feeling compares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I miss walking into a venue, not knowing who\u2019s playing for the opening act and walking out with a new favorite band. I miss waking up the next morning with a sore throat and my voice gone from singing too loud. I miss attempting\u00a0 to catch a guitar pick thrown into the crowd. I miss geeking out to music with people I just met. I miss rushing to buy a ticket for a show I know will sell out. I long for it all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I saw rock band Mayday Parade in Nov. 2018, I witnessed a stranger next to me throw a bra at the band\u2019s frontman, others holding their loved ones tightly, and I had goosebumps and shed tears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Oct. 2019, I decided to skip school to spend 10 hours in line with friends, surviving off of Dorito chips and sharing one umbrella under the rain, to see electronic duo The Chainsmokers and Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer. It ended up being totally worth it because we got front row seats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January, I purchased tickets to see British pop band The 1975, a band I\u2019ve been supporting since 2013. I was excited for June to arrive to finally see them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, those feelings were erased when they cancelled their North American tour due to the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We still have no idea when in-person concerts will happen again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zeke Emaneul, a senior healthcare expert at the University of Pennsylvania told<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/10\/magazine\/coronavirus-economy-debate.html\">New York Times Magazine<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that concerts and other large gatherings will likely return in fall of 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will we be forced to wear masks? Will we be forced to be encased in plastic bubbles?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Oct. 12, rock band The Flaming Lips, performed a socially-distanced concert where they encased themselves and fans inside individual plastic bubbles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in their hometown of Oklahoma City. The venue usually has a capacity of 3,500, but for this occasion, it was filled with 100 bubbles for 100 people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the longest I\u2019ve gone without attending a concert. Whenever we are able to go back to concerts, one thing\u2019s for sure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll be one of the first to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But for the time being, I\u2019ll be blasting music through my headphones and pretending I\u2019m at one.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2020 was supposed to be an amazing year.
