I really don’t understand why everyone is freaking out/getting mad at 5sos for telling people to hop the barrier like artists do this shit all the time??? 

Here’s the Akon concert I went to where he told everyone to hop the barrier and I did it with a fucking broken shoulder like this isn’t anything new for artists to do this shit. It’s up to the fans to take care of themselves and hold themselves responsible for what happens if an artist tells them to hop the barrier. No one is fucking forcing you to do it and if you don’t want to, don’t! And if you do, stay fucking safe!!! Don’t push, don’t shove, don’t run!!! Your safety is NOT the artists responsibility. 

And also, IMO, y’all are blowing Calum’s first tweet way out of proportion. If you know you’re claustrophobic and are prone to getting anxiety attacks in large crowds, concerts really are not for you. People push, people scream, people shove, and people freak out. Making 5sos responsible for your safety/mental health is NOT fair to them at all. All they wanted was to get closer to the fans and make sure everyone had a good time. Calum wasn’t trivializing anxiety or claiming that if you have anxiety, you shouldn’t go to concerts period, he’s making a point that if a concert could be a possible unsafe/trigger environment, it’s your responsibility to take care of yourself. 

100% agreed. In concerts the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, people don’t consider a proper concert if they don’t have bruises for at least a week. Yet no-one would have a go at the musicians for telling people to do a wall of death or to “kill each other you fucking pussies”.

You guys all want 5SOS to get acknowledged as a rock band, but the second they step out of their polished and pretty pop-like image, they get so much shit from their own fans. Well guess what, doing these kind of things are exactly what makes them a rock band. 

The boys care about your safety but it’s not their job is not to ensure it; that’s your job. Their job is to give a fucking good rock show, and that’s what they deliver. They’re to perform a rock concerts, and rock concerts are unsafe, they’re loud and people push and that’s just what makes them so amazing.
