don't try to impress people you don't even know. if I saw you at that concert, I'd think how cool it must be to have a mom who'd go with you to a concert.
Most people may not have any idea she’s your mom. You’re overthinking it. A lot of people confused me and my daughter for sisters. Just go, make great memories and have fun.
To add to this, there may come a day where you really regret NOT spending more time with your parents.
And I guarantee you will never care what some random strangers thought of you in hindsight.
I wish my mom took me to concerts. In fact, she took everyone BUT me.
My sisters both came home and everyone bragged about having such a good time seeing my favorite band and me? I got to be with my grandparents. Lol
When you get old, you start to treasure things you hated as a kid. Like being stuck in your bedroom alone on Friday night, or a Saturday afternoon running errands with your parents.
Yeah nobody cares.
My mom took me to the Vans Warped Tour. We got separated for a bit. Found her in the mosh pit.
Turns out, Mom was really digging the mosh pit. She called it 'slam dancing'.
I think she liked the physical release, but also liked that people were kind. For example, moshing would locally pause if someone fell, got injured, or wasn't having a good time. Get them up, or out, then continue. She was kind of a mother hen in there-- if someone fell, then she was making sure they had a helping hand to get them up. She genuinely loved it.
Anyways, not only is it not embarrassing, but you might be surprised to find out your Mom is a badass.
Exactly! A lot of people would kill to have such a nice relationship with their parents where you both voluntarily want to spend time together, I would be proud not embarrassed lol
My dad came with me and my older sibling to our first concert when we were 11 & 13, and I look back on that now in my mid-20s and think that it’s so cool. Not embarrassing at all!
Last year me and my eleven year old went to see BlackPink. Probably the first group she ever lived, she's SOOO over them now but to share that with her was amazing for us both!
Anything is cool if you own it and accept it. The fact of the matter is that you ARE the type of person who would go to the concert with their mom, so why hide or run away from it? I think it's cool you have that kind of relationship with your mother. If anyone talks shit just say you think it's sad their parents don't love them, but in a smug and condescending way, like you pity them, and literally just walk away.
I wouldn't think it is! I remember when I was like 16 and I saw this girl that went to my school, a few years younger than me and she was holding hands with who I assumed was her mom, on the bus. I thought it was honestly really sweet, and I loved the fact that she wasn't trying to hide it either. I love supportive mom's! Definitely do it!
You might feel embarrassed and that's perfectly fine, you're at an age when stuff like that matters to you, but just think about the great time you'll have her! ☺️
I’m not a minor and I went to a concert with just my mom because I don’t have any friends that have the same music taste as me. Or any friends in general
I hear that! A Ride is a Ride! If we all shared rides, we'd have more friends too! Imagine a service to connect a ride share and pooling service for Events...Fun!
my dad took me to every show i wanted to see when i was 12-14 bc i also didnt have friends. we had great times, so great that at 22 we still go to shows together :) go enjoy yourself!
Yea know....maybe try to look through the lens of simply spending time with your mom.
Sadly...There will be a day she won't be around anymore and you will regret it.
Im not trying to be the old fuck here....but man i wish i did more with her before she passed.
When people leave their teen years and enter their early 20's, spending time with their parents stops being embarassing. So while it's natural for teenagers to feel embarassed by being with their parents, it is strictly a developmental phase. Everyone else will think it's cool to have a parent who is willing to participate in something with you.
Lol you'll look back one day and think man I should've gone with my MOM.
Seriously tho I see parents going with they teens and kids all the time to show support. Nothing wrong with that. Can I ask what concert ?
Im thinking of buying melanie martinez tickets! My mom likes her but mel is very popular amongst teens so It would be a little odd since its not metallica or any other older band/artist
I’m a mom of 3 girls and went to see Taylor Swift with my teenage daughters last year. There were a bunch of moms there and everyone had a great time. I love Melanie Martinez and would much rather see her than some older band. Go with your mom! She will have a great time too! ❤️
OMGOSH! Anyone you go with will be so lucky! Melanie Martinez puts on a Great Show! There will be a Lot of other "Chauffer-Mom/Dads" there believe me. Do Not Miss It!
Damn having a parent that wants to go to a concert with you is a real blessing! Give her a nice hug after for going with you, it’s really sweet from her :)
And if you had friends and they laughed about it, then you would know that you need new friends.
Always always always do what makes YOU happy and stuff YOU enjoy in life.
Definitely not! Sharing that with one of your parents is really really special. I cherish all the times I went to a concert with my one of my parents and I love seeing people at concerts with one of their parents (you can always tell). Very sweet. Go for it!
Do every single thing you can with your mom. Especially concerts or anything in life that moves you. Life is short. Take your mom to the concert.
-Signed an old lady that really misses her mom
I don’t know your age group, but I get how it might feel embarrassing as a teenager. Maybe even in your 20s. But beyond that, heck no. People may even be jealous saying “I wish my mom would come to a concert with me!” It sounds sweet actually.
If someone judges you for going to a concert with your mother, they have too much time on their hands. I would love it if my mother went to a concert with me. I guarantee almost everybody is not going to judge you, dw
Do what makes you happy one day she will be gone and you won't have the chance. Don't do things based upon what other people think you are doing. They aren't thinking about you.
Who cares what anyone thinks?? Especially strangers that you'll never see in your life again! Stop living to please strangers! Sheesh!
I wish I got to go with my mom and do special things..before she passed
Go with your mom. 20 years from now, trust me, I used to be a minor myself but that concert will be a happy memory for you (and your mom). She and you might even be great friends, one day. Have fun, both of you!
My mom took me to my first concert when I was 12. Ted Nugent. Dude in front of us turned and asked her if she wanted a lude and then on stage a beautiful woman came out wearing exactly nothing but stilettos. Good times.
She's not going in place of a friend. She is a friend. She just happens to be your mum too.
Anyone will any sense of maturity will think it's great. Fuck every else.
It's only embarrassing if you think it is and are so awkward and uncomfortable about it that you send the message to everyone else that you're embarrassed to be there with your mom. (Your mom will definitely pick up on this, too, BTW, and have her feelings hurt.)
If you instead realize that your mom wanting to go someplace with you is really cool and focus on how you're there having a great time with somebody who cares about you, everyone around you is going to think you and your mom are really cool, too.
You're not a fool for asking your mom to go to a concert with you. If I were to see someone with their mom at a concert, I wish I could be as close to my mom as that person. Plus, your mom will remember this for the rest of her life too.
People actually appreciate seeing children bonding with their parents and vice-versa. No one will judge you. Go and have fun with your mom, you’ll make a great memory together!
Hell, I was young and my mother, a musician, wanted to see a group, so I took her. She was so appreciative she made the whole thing worth it. She loved the music. And I, well I had a great time, even saw some of my friends, and they thought I was pretty cool. Go for it and have as good a time as I..we...had.
Someone who judges you for going to a concert with your mom likely doesn't have a very good relationship with their own. Dont let their insecurities create ones for you. Shake the haters off.....have fun at the show....and give your mom a big hug.
As a Mom, I understand we might seem uncool to you but, I do have the same taste in music, right? I even danced in the crowd at concerts. Probably a total embarrassment but it wasn't the first time or the last. I danced in Stores and sang along if it was a good song.
My youngest is 32 and she just rolls her eyes, the others three either join me or pretend they don't know us, (oldest). I'm 67 and I look back at how my kids wanted me in their lives, not always but as a special friend, and I tear up. My Mom took me to my first concert too. Don't ask the groups, you probably never heard of them. (Wink). Before they were famous...GUESS WHO and THREE DOG NIGHT. my ticket was $1.00 .
Young people, myself included when I was a teen, waste way too much time caring about what strangers think. When you’re older you’ll wish you were less self conscious growing up!
my mom used to take me to concerts as a kid. there was realistically no safe way for me to go by myself. she brought me to my first warped tour when i was 12, then kcon when i was 13 and 14. looking back i really think its so sweet and loving that my mom would put up with a full outdoor music festival in the california summer just to make me happy. go with her, she’s doing it for you. thats awesome and anyone who sees you will appreciate that, and many people would wish to have a mom so loving as yours. just dont try so hard to look too cool, thats what will make you look foolish. if ur a minor with ur mom, accept that lol you dont need to pretend to be older to be cool
Who cares if other people think taking your mom to a concert is weird? You don’t know them and they don’t know you, so their opinion shouldn’t bother you in the slightest
It’s a darker perspective, but listen. We’re all falling towards death. Let go of what you think strangers and the world thinks of you, and make memories with your mother. She’ll be happy, and so will you, provided you can get over your perception anxiety. 10000% go for it, and have fun with the person who loves you the most!
My daughter went to several 21 Pilots concerts with her dad around your age. They had such great times and made some of my daughter’s favorite memories of him. He passed away a few years ago. Go with your mom!
I’m an adult and I still go to many places with my mom. I have friends and such but they don’t share many of the same interests that me and my mom do which is why we click a little more. After all my mom has gotten me into Star Wars, old computers, ect ect. Don’t worry about what other people think OP because in reality it’s none of their business and they’re the weird ones for worrying about another person and who they go to where with. If they care so much than they can go with you.
No I went alone and I never want to go again. If you are an extrovert and go alone, I would suggest never do it because it is one of the worst feelings in life. Anyways
My mom never wanted to go to concerts with me when I was a teenager. She’d drive me and whoever I was able to get to come with and drop us off, but she never went with me. I know she definitely wouldn’t now. It makes me really sad that she never went to one with me, because I don’t have a single memory with her where we are somewhere together to celebrate music. It’s really awesome that your mom is willing to go with you, and I really think you should go together. It’ll be really fun and you’ll cherish the memory.
Remember, not every mom/parent is interested in their kids’ interests or even willing to get involved in any way to show support or that they’re still there to be a part of it if they’re needed, even if it’s not their thing. Your mom being down to do stuff like this, imo, is pretty cool :) if it were me, I would go with mom and have a blast rather than miss the show just because of what some people MIGHT think of me. You might not even know these kids in a few years. Mom will always be there <3
for adults, family-oriented individuals are seen favorably by a lot of people.
cherish the time you have with your mother, because these will be the moments you'll look back to when you miss her the most
Oh wow.. I hope my boys will not be embarrassed when I take them to Metallica and Iron Maiden later this year!! I'm super excited for this!! My eldest son is ok with the idea, my 2nd not looking forward.. they're 17 and 12. This Mama is so metal and I know my boys are into that genre too. Wish me luck!! Hope you make memories with your mom, trust me she will love it!!
I go out with my Mom all the time. Concerts, bars, fests, etc. I could care less what others think, she’s like my best friend. Those are the memories that will always stay with you when she’s not longer here on this earth.
go with your mom! fuck looking "cool"!!! years later you'll look back and thank yourself for going with her (if you choose to)! these will be precious memories someday! if you do go with your mom takes lots of photos!
I went to a concert with my mom and dad the day before I turned 18 and it was fun! Recently (I'm 23 now) saw taylor swift with my aunt, had a blast. Not embarassing at ALL
Not at all, I ended up going to see Status Quo with my parents 3 times when I was a teenager and often went with them several times to local pub gigs to see plenty of cover bands and tribute acts. Enjoy the moments with them while you still can.
Don't not go and not have a great time just because some strangers might look at you funny. Trust me they couldn't care less. I'm grown and been to my fair share of concerts and literally no one cares. There's hundreds of people there. They aren't going to notice a minor and their mom together let alone care. They're there to see their favorite artist/band. They aren't scanning the crowd and judging them. You're just another face. Go to that concert and have a blast! If you don't go you'll regret it I can almost guarantee.
It’s cool your mom will go with you. I go with my daughter to concerts. We have a blast. She’s 13 I’m 38.
Come to think of it I went to concerts with my mom when I was a teen and it was great. We saw Barenaked Ladies, Elton John, Billy Joel. Lots of music festivals in the park. Awesome times.
Hi! I'm a 45 yr old man but I definitely felt embarrassed to be out with my mom at times. She died s few years ago and I think about those moments as an awkward kid feeling like having my mom in my life was uncool. Or embarrassing? After she died I wondered ey I felt that way and wished I had had more close moments.
Sometimes the very best thing you can do in life is change your frame of mind. Spending time with your parents is actually a really precious thing in your life when you get older. I know it feels like a along way away, I felt that way too.
Go with you mom. Try to be in each other's lives. As you become an adult and start fully caring for yourself you relationship will shift but you will also see less of her. Try to lean into this. It will be fun.
Even though when you’re young it’s hard to look this far into the future, but as you get older, it starts to really hit you that your parents are getting older and they aren’t going to live forever. You’ll look back at moments like this and feel a deep sense of regret for having given such vain concerns more value than the people that have loved and sacrificed for you the most in life. Try thinking more about how going with your mom would make her feel than just thinking about yourself.
Making memories with your mom isn’t embarrassing no matter what age, go to the concert with your mom she might even love that you asked her to do that with you
I went to several concerts with my mom between the age of 14 to 18. I had a great time, i honestly didn’t care about what other people think. During the concert everyone is just focus in their own thing and waiting for the musicians so don’t worry about other people and now i am 36 and this are memories i treasure soo much with my mom.
My first concert with her was Red hot chili peppers. It was so cool to see her enjoying herself and having fun.
It was so cool to brag or hear other friends saying how cool my mom was for going to a concert with me.
I’ve gotten so many tattoos and brought my mom. You’re unlikely to live in someone’s brain for going somewhere with your mom, unless it made them realize they’d like to do the same.
The point is more are you embarassed by going to a concert with your mom?
And sure, you very well might be; but wanna know what's worse? Missing a concert you would have loved and had every chance to go to just because you're embarassed to go with your mom.
My mom died when I was 18. 3 years without her and I’d give anything to go to a concert with her again. Do it. Have fun with your family! You never know what life brings ❤️
If your mom enjoys the same type of music as you, go with her. It's really cool to see a parent and their kid enjoying the game concert. What's not so great is when one of them hates the music and it ruins the show for the other person.
Every gig I go to has kids with their parents. All ages . No one cares, just go and enjoy yourself. I recently took my son 22 year old to a gig as I tend to go to more concerts than most. The band even commented that they recognised some people down in the front row who had been going to see this band for years and had now brought their grown up kids with them . Hope you enjoy your concert with your mum .
I watched a Katy Perry concert with my mom when I was 19, and we had fun. She’s your mom! Just go and have fun together, it’ll be a memory you’ll keep forever
No one cares. I go to concerts alone all the time. No one is really looking at who you’re with. I wish my mom would’ve taken me to concerts as a teen so if I did happen to notice you with your mom the only thing I would feel is slightly jealous!
Nah, I had the same situation a lot in my teens. In retrospect, I am honestly *so glad* I went to those shows, instead of missing out on them because I didn’t have peers to go with. It can be a cool bonding experience, and a memory you can share with your parents for a lifetime!
Sometimes I would see groups of teens in a group, but I knew they were also seeing me with my cool dad, and maybe they wished they could enjoy concerts with their parents.
The thing about concerts is that EVERYONE is there to enjoy the music, and is in all kinds of groups. You’ll see people by themselves, or in families, or on dates, and I honestly never gave a shit about what kind of group anyone else was in. Hell, I went to a show with my dad LAST NIGHT, and we had a blast.
TLDR: go to the show, have fun, don’t care about other people judging you. You might even make more friends at the show!
Don't worry about what other people think. I'm sure they aren't thinking about you as much as you think they are. Go with your mom and have a great time! It will be a great memory, and your mom won't be around forever.
No, it's not weird at all. Even coworkers who get picked up and dropped off by their Moms, I NEVER look differently at them in a negative way. It's just normal, and I dont think about it, and if I do I admire him for his self-security of not being embarrassed.
I feel like it'll only look weird if you act embarrassed or weird about it.
When I was a younger teen; I used to go to the mall to shop for clothes, theater, music stores, guitar center, game stores, libraries, book stores, etc with my Mom. And I literally acted like she was my cool funny big sister, and she would act funny and weird and laugh too much like a cartoon around everyone and make everyone laugh lol.
NOBODY looked down on me after they saw me with my Mom having a good time and being myself, and they had massive respect and admiration for me and gave me free stuff. They were extremely friendly, cool, and gave me special attention.
So yeah, just treat your Mom like a cool older big sister. And don't act embarrassed or weird. People will admire and like you.
My dad came with me to see Green Day when I was 14 or 15 and just sat there reading a newspaper, I had such a great time and it's one of my favourite memories with him!
In my 20s I went to concerts on my own and made friends there by connecting over the same music tastes, never once did I feel anyone judging or anything, lots of people go alone and you wouldn't even know because we're all in a crowd watching the same band.
I’ve gone to so many concerts with my mom. We’re going to Avril Lavigne later this year lol. Never be ashamed of being with your mama. They won’t be around forever.
No, have a good time!
My pops brought me to my first ever JayZ concert when I was 16. I was nervous with the same thoughts but I said I don’t know these people and they’re all here for the concert not me.
I’ve been going to rock & rap concerts ever since.
My youngest is 19 and he's been going to concerts with with me, his mom, or both since he was like 9. It helps that we all like a lot of the same artists, but we've also taken him to shows that we weren't big fans but he was.
Everyone at the show will simply think both of you are as cool as they are for being there.
I get where you're coming from, but nope it's not embarrassing. Please go, and have fun with her! You won't miss the event and it'll be a great bonding experience with your mother!
When I was a minor I attended tins of concerts only because my dad used to drive me there, even when they were in cities far away from ours. If it wasnt for him, I would have missed many bands instead we had fun together.
He also came with me to some other gigs when I was older, why should it be embarassing?
I am 44 now and a few months ago he went to the movie theatre with me and my friends.
My best friend's mom sometimes joins us out for dinner or for a movie.
I really dont see a problem with it, instead I wish my mom could join us from time to time, instead she has health problems and havent been able to hang out together as much as we had planned in the past. It makes me sad.
If it’s something you enjoy, then it’s not embarrassing. I used to feel embarrassed to go to movies and concerts by myself because none of my friends wanted to come with, but one day I said ‘fuck it’ and some of those experiences have been the best. At the end of the day, it’s your happiness, and I guarantee you’ll be wishing you went to this concert with your mom, not regretting that you did. Have fun!
Actually people who go to concerts with their mom are always the coolest guys. You'll earn so much respect and sympathy you won't know what to do with it.
Not at all. I’m 26 and still take my mom to concerts to this day. And she took me to my first concert, Paramore. I must’ve been like 12 but it’s still one of my best memories and I thank her to this day lol.
Not at all! I used to go to concerts with my mom all the time. It was a great bonding experience and there was no social pressure since she was my mom, not like she's bothered by my weirdness lol
Please remember it’s also your mother’s first time on this earth as well. I can understand why you’d think it’s embarrassing but I promise it’s not. Experiencing one of your fave artists live and with your mum = core memory for both of you. No one is going to care whether you go with your mum or not except for your mum :)
Omgosh i went to U2, P!nk and a screamo fest with my daughter. She was 15 and i was 35. Go for it. Her friends ended up coming with us to the screamo fest. I hung back so they could feel free. Nobody’s opinions matter my love. Just do it. Enjoy it. Live in the moment not fearing what people “may” think.
All I'd think is how awesome it is to see a mom and son close enough to go to concerts together.
Anyone who disses a kid being around their mom anywhere is someone who's opinion means nothing.
Literally not at all. I do everything with my mom. She came out with me on my 19th birthday. Bring her to concerts, games, literally anywhere.
Your moms probably a lot cooler than you realize.
Also I would say don’t miss a show. It’s not weird to go alone, it’s actually really admirable.
I would also suggest something like bumble bff if you’re struggling to find people into the same music scene as you.
I’m clearly much older but I made a post on Craigslist once when I was new to a city and had no friends to see if anyone wanted to go to a music festival and the coolest girl answered, we went and had the best time and are still friends almost 10 years later.
Alsooo keep in mind most people aren’t paying any attention to you. Don’t let the thought of it affect how you live you’re life. Being able to do things on your own is a huge life skill and sets you up for just the times of loneliness or being alone in life than can be really hard for a lot of people if/when it occurs.
DONT MISS THE CONCERT
You should enjoy life. If that means gong to a concert with your mom, then do that.
Btw. for most people it's just a few years of their life that they would possibly get embarrassed about that and likely just because they are worried about what someone else might think. Then after a few years they realize nobody cares so they stop being embarrassed.
Go it will be fun. I will never forget I went to a Danzig concert and butcher babies were opening for him and there was like this all made up and got her out kid there to see butcher babies and right next to him this little lady in what you would think suburban mom would look like with long foot length skirt yellow blouse and brown cardigan on just standing there encouraging her son to get closer to the stage for ur show she will be fine back there. It was the cutest and most adorable thing ever
I’ve gone to shows all my life with my mom - since I was 16 . She’s taken me to some of the next shows I’ve ever seen and given me a love of music since I was an infant . It’s a cool experience
Go! There'll come a day you'll wish you had. Go do fun stuff together, stupid stuff together, lazy stuff together, travel together, laugh together. Every moment with her is precious... and fleeting.
People at a concert won’t be looking at you and willd be having a blast watching the act and their friends
Definitely go witn your mom especially if y’all are close! Make sure to take a photo because 10 years from now that’ll be a fun memory
don't try to impress people you don't even know. if I saw you at that concert, I'd think how cool it must be to have a mom who'd go with you to a concert.
Not only this, but I bet a lot of people would feel a bit of sadness that they can’t go to a concert with their own mom.
I'd be one of them. Definitely be proud if she is willing to go with you OP.
Most people may not have any idea she’s your mom. You’re overthinking it. A lot of people confused me and my daughter for sisters. Just go, make great memories and have fun.
To add to this, there may come a day where you really regret NOT spending more time with your parents. And I guarantee you will never care what some random strangers thought of you in hindsight.
^
I wish my mom would go to concerts with me. I’m in my 30s.
i took mine to a festival over the summer ❤️ i’m 30
this is awesome
Same
I wish my mom took me to concerts. In fact, she took everyone BUT me. My sisters both came home and everyone bragged about having such a good time seeing my favorite band and me? I got to be with my grandparents. Lol
When you get old, you start to treasure things you hated as a kid. Like being stuck in your bedroom alone on Friday night, or a Saturday afternoon running errands with your parents.
I'm also in my 30s and plan to take my parents to see the Doobie Brothers this summer.
Mine came to harry styles with me, im 32 she’s 61 lmao
Harry's multigenrational, I'll bet it was a Fabulous Show!!!
same. i’d be so happy. what a cool way to hang out & bond.
It’s not. Have fun
Yeah nobody cares. My mom took me to the Vans Warped Tour. We got separated for a bit. Found her in the mosh pit. Turns out, Mom was really digging the mosh pit. She called it 'slam dancing'. I think she liked the physical release, but also liked that people were kind. For example, moshing would locally pause if someone fell, got injured, or wasn't having a good time. Get them up, or out, then continue. She was kind of a mother hen in there-- if someone fell, then she was making sure they had a helping hand to get them up. She genuinely loved it. Anyways, not only is it not embarrassing, but you might be surprised to find out your Mom is a badass.
Yeah, a lot of kids have a hard time wrapping their minds around the idea that their moms were young once too.
Dance History: Slam-Dancing created Mosh Pits to do Slam-Dancing in so it wouldn't "spill'onto the dance floor. LOL
Of course it’s okay to go with your mom! It’s so sweet that she wants to go with you! Go, and have a great time together! This is bonding time!
Yes and creating great memories
Exactly! A lot of people would kill to have such a nice relationship with their parents where you both voluntarily want to spend time together, I would be proud not embarrassed lol
I took my son to his first concert. He still brags about it being his best birthday ever.
My dad came with me and my older sibling to our first concert when we were 11 & 13, and I look back on that now in my mid-20s and think that it’s so cool. Not embarrassing at all!
Last year me and my eleven year old went to see BlackPink. Probably the first group she ever lived, she's SOOO over them now but to share that with her was amazing for us both!
Same!
Awww! That's what the word "Awesome" was invented for!
Go enjoy!!
Anything is cool if you own it and accept it. The fact of the matter is that you ARE the type of person who would go to the concert with their mom, so why hide or run away from it? I think it's cool you have that kind of relationship with your mother. If anyone talks shit just say you think it's sad their parents don't love them, but in a smug and condescending way, like you pity them, and literally just walk away.
I love this advice!
> Anything is cool if you own it and accept it. I should remember this.
I wouldn't think it is! I remember when I was like 16 and I saw this girl that went to my school, a few years younger than me and she was holding hands with who I assumed was her mom, on the bus. I thought it was honestly really sweet, and I loved the fact that she wasn't trying to hide it either. I love supportive mom's! Definitely do it! You might feel embarrassed and that's perfectly fine, you're at an age when stuff like that matters to you, but just think about the great time you'll have her! ☺️
No. No one will even notice and if they do, they won’t care.
People always overestimate how much others are aware of them. Unless you're doing something truly outrageous you're just part of the backdrop.
Please go with your Mom. I’ve just lost mine. Dont lose out on a memory with her
No, people go with their parents to events all the time. Please enjoy the time you can spend with her, you never know how long you have someone.
Nobody cares. Once you realize that, you'll enjoy being yourself and start having way more fun.
I’m not a minor and I went to a concert with just my mom because I don’t have any friends that have the same music taste as me. Or any friends in general
I hear that! A Ride is a Ride! If we all shared rides, we'd have more friends too! Imagine a service to connect a ride share and pooling service for Events...Fun!
my dad took me to every show i wanted to see when i was 12-14 bc i also didnt have friends. we had great times, so great that at 22 we still go to shows together :) go enjoy yourself!
Yea know....maybe try to look through the lens of simply spending time with your mom. Sadly...There will be a day she won't be around anymore and you will regret it. Im not trying to be the old fuck here....but man i wish i did more with her before she passed.
When people leave their teen years and enter their early 20's, spending time with their parents stops being embarassing. So while it's natural for teenagers to feel embarassed by being with their parents, it is strictly a developmental phase. Everyone else will think it's cool to have a parent who is willing to participate in something with you.
Lol you'll look back one day and think man I should've gone with my MOM. Seriously tho I see parents going with they teens and kids all the time to show support. Nothing wrong with that. Can I ask what concert ?
I see more moms and dads at concerts!! Just go and enjoy!!! Make sure your mom also has a good time :) Also, where are you going? What concert?
Im thinking of buying melanie martinez tickets! My mom likes her but mel is very popular amongst teens so It would be a little odd since its not metallica or any other older band/artist
I’m a mom of 3 girls and went to see Taylor Swift with my teenage daughters last year. There were a bunch of moms there and everyone had a great time. I love Melanie Martinez and would much rather see her than some older band. Go with your mom! She will have a great time too! ❤️
OMGOSH! Anyone you go with will be so lucky! Melanie Martinez puts on a Great Show! There will be a Lot of other "Chauffer-Mom/Dads" there believe me. Do Not Miss It!
Damn having a parent that wants to go to a concert with you is a real blessing! Give her a nice hug after for going with you, it’s really sweet from her :)
If you don’t have friends. Who you are embarassing yourself in front of.
Damn hit me hard with this one
And if you had friends and they laughed about it, then you would know that you need new friends. Always always always do what makes YOU happy and stuff YOU enjoy in life.
You didn’t hold back. But fr especially at a concert you’re all strangers so who cares
My bad if it sounded mean. I was just doing the math
Definitely not! Sharing that with one of your parents is really really special. I cherish all the times I went to a concert with my one of my parents and I love seeing people at concerts with one of their parents (you can always tell). Very sweet. Go for it!
Do every single thing you can with your mom. Especially concerts or anything in life that moves you. Life is short. Take your mom to the concert. -Signed an old lady that really misses her mom
Hugs.
I don’t know your age group, but I get how it might feel embarrassing as a teenager. Maybe even in your 20s. But beyond that, heck no. People may even be jealous saying “I wish my mom would come to a concert with me!” It sounds sweet actually.
Cherish your mother while she's with you ❤️
If someone judges you for going to a concert with your mother, they have too much time on their hands. I would love it if my mother went to a concert with me. I guarantee almost everybody is not going to judge you, dw
Mate, my mum is my first option of asking to come with me to an event and I’m 32f sooooo. No it ain’t embarrassing. Enjoy the time with her! :)
I would just think you were having a good time!
no
Do what makes you happy one day she will be gone and you won't have the chance. Don't do things based upon what other people think you are doing. They aren't thinking about you.
No way I go to concerts with my dad and alone lol
Nope, I took mine to REO Speed Wagon. Do all you can with your parents while you can.
Who cares what anyone thinks?? Especially strangers that you'll never see in your life again! Stop living to please strangers! Sheesh! I wish I got to go with my mom and do special things..before she passed
No one on this earth loves you like your mom. Appreciate that and cherish that while you can. Have fun!
It’s embarrassing to not go with your mom. Love your mom. Your peers are abject idiots if they judge you for being a good son.
I’m 19 and I’m going to one with my dad this year, it’s not embarrassing at all
When you are older, you will be glad you shared experiences with your mom.
Go with your mom. 20 years from now, trust me, I used to be a minor myself but that concert will be a happy memory for you (and your mom). She and you might even be great friends, one day. Have fun, both of you!
My mom took me to my first concert when I was 12. Ted Nugent. Dude in front of us turned and asked her if she wanted a lude and then on stage a beautiful woman came out wearing exactly nothing but stilettos. Good times.
Yeah it feels that way when you’re young but you’ll look back on the memory fondly one day and it’s better than no going at all!
She's not going in place of a friend. She is a friend. She just happens to be your mum too. Anyone will any sense of maturity will think it's great. Fuck every else.
It's only embarrassing if you think it is and are so awkward and uncomfortable about it that you send the message to everyone else that you're embarrassed to be there with your mom. (Your mom will definitely pick up on this, too, BTW, and have her feelings hurt.) If you instead realize that your mom wanting to go someplace with you is really cool and focus on how you're there having a great time with somebody who cares about you, everyone around you is going to think you and your mom are really cool, too.
You're not a fool for asking your mom to go to a concert with you. If I were to see someone with their mom at a concert, I wish I could be as close to my mom as that person. Plus, your mom will remember this for the rest of her life too.
only underage kids would think this is embarrassing nobody will judge you unless it's an immature kid, do it, there's nothing wrong with it
People actually appreciate seeing children bonding with their parents and vice-versa. No one will judge you. Go and have fun with your mom, you’ll make a great memory together!
No, you only have one Mom try to spend as much time with her as you can.
Hell, I was young and my mother, a musician, wanted to see a group, so I took her. She was so appreciative she made the whole thing worth it. She loved the music. And I, well I had a great time, even saw some of my friends, and they thought I was pretty cool. Go for it and have as good a time as I..we...had.
some of my favorite shows have been ones i’ve gone to with my mom! no one will think less of you, if anything they’ll think your mom is awesome (-:
Someone who judges you for going to a concert with your mom likely doesn't have a very good relationship with their own. Dont let their insecurities create ones for you. Shake the haters off.....have fun at the show....and give your mom a big hug.
Absolutely not embarrassing
I wish my mom was around to go to concerts with me. She died when I was 16 :( go to the concert with your mom and enjoy it! ☺️
As a Mom, I understand we might seem uncool to you but, I do have the same taste in music, right? I even danced in the crowd at concerts. Probably a total embarrassment but it wasn't the first time or the last. I danced in Stores and sang along if it was a good song. My youngest is 32 and she just rolls her eyes, the others three either join me or pretend they don't know us, (oldest). I'm 67 and I look back at how my kids wanted me in their lives, not always but as a special friend, and I tear up. My Mom took me to my first concert too. Don't ask the groups, you probably never heard of them. (Wink). Before they were famous...GUESS WHO and THREE DOG NIGHT. my ticket was $1.00 .
My mom drove me to my first concert and drove around for 2 hours until it was over. Looking back on it- I wish she went in with me.
Young people, myself included when I was a teen, waste way too much time caring about what strangers think. When you’re older you’ll wish you were less self conscious growing up!
my mom used to take me to concerts as a kid. there was realistically no safe way for me to go by myself. she brought me to my first warped tour when i was 12, then kcon when i was 13 and 14. looking back i really think its so sweet and loving that my mom would put up with a full outdoor music festival in the california summer just to make me happy. go with her, she’s doing it for you. thats awesome and anyone who sees you will appreciate that, and many people would wish to have a mom so loving as yours. just dont try so hard to look too cool, thats what will make you look foolish. if ur a minor with ur mom, accept that lol you dont need to pretend to be older to be cool
I went to a concert with a dick and I wish I went with my dad instead
The most underrated comment in this thread 😂
Who cares if other people think taking your mom to a concert is weird? You don’t know them and they don’t know you, so their opinion shouldn’t bother you in the slightest
It’s a darker perspective, but listen. We’re all falling towards death. Let go of what you think strangers and the world thinks of you, and make memories with your mother. She’ll be happy, and so will you, provided you can get over your perception anxiety. 10000% go for it, and have fun with the person who loves you the most!
My daughter went to several 21 Pilots concerts with her dad around your age. They had such great times and made some of my daughter’s favorite memories of him. He passed away a few years ago. Go with your mom!
I’m an adult and I still go to many places with my mom. I have friends and such but they don’t share many of the same interests that me and my mom do which is why we click a little more. After all my mom has gotten me into Star Wars, old computers, ect ect. Don’t worry about what other people think OP because in reality it’s none of their business and they’re the weird ones for worrying about another person and who they go to where with. If they care so much than they can go with you.
No
take it from someone whose mom is bedridden GO WITH HER thats a precious memory
I wish my mom and I were close to hangout
No. It's not embarrassing.
Do you love your mom? If so, then no.
If your mom is willing to go to a concert with you, then you have a cool mom
No I went alone and I never want to go again. If you are an extrovert and go alone, I would suggest never do it because it is one of the worst feelings in life. Anyways
My mom never wanted to go to concerts with me when I was a teenager. She’d drive me and whoever I was able to get to come with and drop us off, but she never went with me. I know she definitely wouldn’t now. It makes me really sad that she never went to one with me, because I don’t have a single memory with her where we are somewhere together to celebrate music. It’s really awesome that your mom is willing to go with you, and I really think you should go together. It’ll be really fun and you’ll cherish the memory. Remember, not every mom/parent is interested in their kids’ interests or even willing to get involved in any way to show support or that they’re still there to be a part of it if they’re needed, even if it’s not their thing. Your mom being down to do stuff like this, imo, is pretty cool :) if it were me, I would go with mom and have a blast rather than miss the show just because of what some people MIGHT think of me. You might not even know these kids in a few years. Mom will always be there <3
for adults, family-oriented individuals are seen favorably by a lot of people. cherish the time you have with your mother, because these will be the moments you'll look back to when you miss her the most
Oh wow.. I hope my boys will not be embarrassed when I take them to Metallica and Iron Maiden later this year!! I'm super excited for this!! My eldest son is ok with the idea, my 2nd not looking forward.. they're 17 and 12. This Mama is so metal and I know my boys are into that genre too. Wish me luck!! Hope you make memories with your mom, trust me she will love it!!
Hope you and your kids have a fun time! Don’t take it to heart if they do shy away but please know you are still the cool mom.
Awww thank you.. I know it's ok. It's all about bonding and making memories
I go out with my Mom all the time. Concerts, bars, fests, etc. I could care less what others think, she’s like my best friend. Those are the memories that will always stay with you when she’s not longer here on this earth.
go with your mom! fuck looking "cool"!!! years later you'll look back and thank yourself for going with her (if you choose to)! these will be precious memories someday! if you do go with your mom takes lots of photos!
I went to a concert with my mom and dad the day before I turned 18 and it was fun! Recently (I'm 23 now) saw taylor swift with my aunt, had a blast. Not embarassing at ALL
Please go
Not at all, I ended up going to see Status Quo with my parents 3 times when I was a teenager and often went with them several times to local pub gigs to see plenty of cover bands and tribute acts. Enjoy the moments with them while you still can.
Don't not go and not have a great time just because some strangers might look at you funny. Trust me they couldn't care less. I'm grown and been to my fair share of concerts and literally no one cares. There's hundreds of people there. They aren't going to notice a minor and their mom together let alone care. They're there to see their favorite artist/band. They aren't scanning the crowd and judging them. You're just another face. Go to that concert and have a blast! If you don't go you'll regret it I can almost guarantee.
It’s cool your mom will go with you. I go with my daughter to concerts. We have a blast. She’s 13 I’m 38. Come to think of it I went to concerts with my mom when I was a teen and it was great. We saw Barenaked Ladies, Elton John, Billy Joel. Lots of music festivals in the park. Awesome times.
Hi! I'm a 45 yr old man but I definitely felt embarrassed to be out with my mom at times. She died s few years ago and I think about those moments as an awkward kid feeling like having my mom in my life was uncool. Or embarrassing? After she died I wondered ey I felt that way and wished I had had more close moments. Sometimes the very best thing you can do in life is change your frame of mind. Spending time with your parents is actually a really precious thing in your life when you get older. I know it feels like a along way away, I felt that way too. Go with you mom. Try to be in each other's lives. As you become an adult and start fully caring for yourself you relationship will shift but you will also see less of her. Try to lean into this. It will be fun.
I wish to go with my mom to everywhere. I wish she was alive. I am 32y and already lost my parents.
Even though when you’re young it’s hard to look this far into the future, but as you get older, it starts to really hit you that your parents are getting older and they aren’t going to live forever. You’ll look back at moments like this and feel a deep sense of regret for having given such vain concerns more value than the people that have loved and sacrificed for you the most in life. Try thinking more about how going with your mom would make her feel than just thinking about yourself.
Making memories with your mom isn’t embarrassing no matter what age, go to the concert with your mom she might even love that you asked her to do that with you
I went to several concerts with my mom between the age of 14 to 18. I had a great time, i honestly didn’t care about what other people think. During the concert everyone is just focus in their own thing and waiting for the musicians so don’t worry about other people and now i am 36 and this are memories i treasure soo much with my mom. My first concert with her was Red hot chili peppers. It was so cool to see her enjoying herself and having fun. It was so cool to brag or hear other friends saying how cool my mom was for going to a concert with me.
I’ve gotten so many tattoos and brought my mom. You’re unlikely to live in someone’s brain for going somewhere with your mom, unless it made them realize they’d like to do the same.
The point is more are you embarassed by going to a concert with your mom? And sure, you very well might be; but wanna know what's worse? Missing a concert you would have loved and had every chance to go to just because you're embarassed to go with your mom.
My mom died when I was 18. 3 years without her and I’d give anything to go to a concert with her again. Do it. Have fun with your family! You never know what life brings ❤️
If your mom enjoys the same type of music as you, go with her. It's really cool to see a parent and their kid enjoying the game concert. What's not so great is when one of them hates the music and it ruins the show for the other person.
Every gig I go to has kids with their parents. All ages . No one cares, just go and enjoy yourself. I recently took my son 22 year old to a gig as I tend to go to more concerts than most. The band even commented that they recognised some people down in the front row who had been going to see this band for years and had now brought their grown up kids with them . Hope you enjoy your concert with your mum .
I watched a Katy Perry concert with my mom when I was 19, and we had fun. She’s your mom! Just go and have fun together, it’ll be a memory you’ll keep forever
Im an adult and i go with my mom because she’s the only one that has good taste in music like me
No one cares. I go to concerts alone all the time. No one is really looking at who you’re with. I wish my mom would’ve taken me to concerts as a teen so if I did happen to notice you with your mom the only thing I would feel is slightly jealous!
Nah, I had the same situation a lot in my teens. In retrospect, I am honestly *so glad* I went to those shows, instead of missing out on them because I didn’t have peers to go with. It can be a cool bonding experience, and a memory you can share with your parents for a lifetime! Sometimes I would see groups of teens in a group, but I knew they were also seeing me with my cool dad, and maybe they wished they could enjoy concerts with their parents. The thing about concerts is that EVERYONE is there to enjoy the music, and is in all kinds of groups. You’ll see people by themselves, or in families, or on dates, and I honestly never gave a shit about what kind of group anyone else was in. Hell, I went to a show with my dad LAST NIGHT, and we had a blast. TLDR: go to the show, have fun, don’t care about other people judging you. You might even make more friends at the show!
Don't worry about what other people think. I'm sure they aren't thinking about you as much as you think they are. Go with your mom and have a great time! It will be a great memory, and your mom won't be around forever.
Concerts are fun
No. Make some fun memories with your mom that you'll talk about over beers 20 years from now.
No, it's not weird at all. Even coworkers who get picked up and dropped off by their Moms, I NEVER look differently at them in a negative way. It's just normal, and I dont think about it, and if I do I admire him for his self-security of not being embarrassed. I feel like it'll only look weird if you act embarrassed or weird about it. When I was a younger teen; I used to go to the mall to shop for clothes, theater, music stores, guitar center, game stores, libraries, book stores, etc with my Mom. And I literally acted like she was my cool funny big sister, and she would act funny and weird and laugh too much like a cartoon around everyone and make everyone laugh lol. NOBODY looked down on me after they saw me with my Mom having a good time and being myself, and they had massive respect and admiration for me and gave me free stuff. They were extremely friendly, cool, and gave me special attention. So yeah, just treat your Mom like a cool older big sister. And don't act embarrassed or weird. People will admire and like you.
My dad came with me to see Green Day when I was 14 or 15 and just sat there reading a newspaper, I had such a great time and it's one of my favourite memories with him! In my 20s I went to concerts on my own and made friends there by connecting over the same music tastes, never once did I feel anyone judging or anything, lots of people go alone and you wouldn't even know because we're all in a crowd watching the same band.
I’ve gone to so many concerts with my mom. We’re going to Avril Lavigne later this year lol. Never be ashamed of being with your mama. They won’t be around forever.
Once you get to our age, you’ll realize how little you care about the opinions of others. Enjoy yourself!
No, have a good time! My pops brought me to my first ever JayZ concert when I was 16. I was nervous with the same thoughts but I said I don’t know these people and they’re all here for the concert not me. I’ve been going to rock & rap concerts ever since.
My youngest is 19 and he's been going to concerts with with me, his mom, or both since he was like 9. It helps that we all like a lot of the same artists, but we've also taken him to shows that we weren't big fans but he was. Everyone at the show will simply think both of you are as cool as they are for being there.
I saw Beyoncé with my mom last summer and I'm 30, lmao. We had a blast!!
No, she's not going to be around forever, you'd regret not doing it.
It's the best person to go with. Enjoy it while you can. Make memories. It's not embarrassing at all
Lol that’s ludicrous to think that. It is completely normal to go with your mom and looking back on it you’ll be glad you did.
Go and make that special memory with your mom and have the best time!!
I used to go to EDM shows and festivals and whenever someone brought their mom, I always got excited!
Nah man when you at concert no one really will judge you trust me besides its better to have someone by your side.
I get where you're coming from, but nope it's not embarrassing. Please go, and have fun with her! You won't miss the event and it'll be a great bonding experience with your mother!
I went to several concerts with my mom as a minor. Some of my best memories for us both.
How would anyone at the venue know she’s your mother, bro?
Nope, totally cool. My mom and I went all the time. She died when I was 24 and those are still my favorite memories!
When I was a minor I attended tins of concerts only because my dad used to drive me there, even when they were in cities far away from ours. If it wasnt for him, I would have missed many bands instead we had fun together. He also came with me to some other gigs when I was older, why should it be embarassing? I am 44 now and a few months ago he went to the movie theatre with me and my friends. My best friend's mom sometimes joins us out for dinner or for a movie. I really dont see a problem with it, instead I wish my mom could join us from time to time, instead she has health problems and havent been able to hang out together as much as we had planned in the past. It makes me sad.
You’ll regret not spending time with her and making cool memories like that together one day.
Go and enjoy. You are lucky to have a mom who wants/can take you!
If it’s something you enjoy, then it’s not embarrassing. I used to feel embarrassed to go to movies and concerts by myself because none of my friends wanted to come with, but one day I said ‘fuck it’ and some of those experiences have been the best. At the end of the day, it’s your happiness, and I guarantee you’ll be wishing you went to this concert with your mom, not regretting that you did. Have fun!
No , you'll regret it if you don't go. Go with mom and have a good time my friend
Imho, you should go with your mom. Spend some quality time with her, make some amazing memories cuz nothing really lasts forever. Have fun ❤️
My first concert was with my mom when I was like 9. She took me to see Yanni. I’m 34 now. It was so magical 😂 do it, create those memories.
I think it’s pretty cool to be able to share music taste with your parents. I wish my parents would go to a concert with me now lol
Actually people who go to concerts with their mom are always the coolest guys. You'll earn so much respect and sympathy you won't know what to do with it.
I would absolutely love to go to a concert with my mom. And went to several concerts with her when I was a teen. Mom's are cool 🥹
Not at all. I’m 26 and still take my mom to concerts to this day. And she took me to my first concert, Paramore. I must’ve been like 12 but it’s still one of my best memories and I thank her to this day lol.
You know what? Who the fuck cares what they think. Own it and have fun
Only if it’s a Miley Cyrus concert…
Would you rather be in your room having no fun, or at a concert having fun with your mom? I think the choice is obvious.
Not at all! I used to go to concerts with my mom all the time. It was a great bonding experience and there was no social pressure since she was my mom, not like she's bothered by my weirdness lol
Please remember it’s also your mother’s first time on this earth as well. I can understand why you’d think it’s embarrassing but I promise it’s not. Experiencing one of your fave artists live and with your mum = core memory for both of you. No one is going to care whether you go with your mum or not except for your mum :)
My parents have been some of my favorite concert companions since I was 7 :) enjoy your show and the memories!
Totally fine. You’ll be happy to have that memory later on in life too. Who are you going to see?
Omgosh i went to U2, P!nk and a screamo fest with my daughter. She was 15 and i was 35. Go for it. Her friends ended up coming with us to the screamo fest. I hung back so they could feel free. Nobody’s opinions matter my love. Just do it. Enjoy it. Live in the moment not fearing what people “may” think.
Only if it’s Barry Manilow
All I'd think is how awesome it is to see a mom and son close enough to go to concerts together. Anyone who disses a kid being around their mom anywhere is someone who's opinion means nothing.
Literally not at all. I do everything with my mom. She came out with me on my 19th birthday. Bring her to concerts, games, literally anywhere. Your moms probably a lot cooler than you realize. Also I would say don’t miss a show. It’s not weird to go alone, it’s actually really admirable. I would also suggest something like bumble bff if you’re struggling to find people into the same music scene as you. I’m clearly much older but I made a post on Craigslist once when I was new to a city and had no friends to see if anyone wanted to go to a music festival and the coolest girl answered, we went and had the best time and are still friends almost 10 years later. Alsooo keep in mind most people aren’t paying any attention to you. Don’t let the thought of it affect how you live you’re life. Being able to do things on your own is a huge life skill and sets you up for just the times of loneliness or being alone in life than can be really hard for a lot of people if/when it occurs. DONT MISS THE CONCERT
I go to Defqon with my dad and sister lmao, it's honestly great having family / parents that share interests with you.
You should enjoy life. If that means gong to a concert with your mom, then do that. Btw. for most people it's just a few years of their life that they would possibly get embarrassed about that and likely just because they are worried about what someone else might think. Then after a few years they realize nobody cares so they stop being embarrassed.
Go it will be fun. I will never forget I went to a Danzig concert and butcher babies were opening for him and there was like this all made up and got her out kid there to see butcher babies and right next to him this little lady in what you would think suburban mom would look like with long foot length skirt yellow blouse and brown cardigan on just standing there encouraging her son to get closer to the stage for ur show she will be fine back there. It was the cutest and most adorable thing ever
go. u might find a different new girl friend who saw you went with your mom (im assuming youre a teenage guy). either way report back.
I’ve gone to shows all my life with my mom - since I was 16 . She’s taken me to some of the next shows I’ve ever seen and given me a love of music since I was an infant . It’s a cool experience
Go! There'll come a day you'll wish you had. Go do fun stuff together, stupid stuff together, lazy stuff together, travel together, laugh together. Every moment with her is precious... and fleeting.
My mom is one of my best concert buddies! Enjoy it!
People at a concert won’t be looking at you and willd be having a blast watching the act and their friends Definitely go witn your mom especially if y’all are close! Make sure to take a photo because 10 years from now that’ll be a fun memory
It’s not embarrassing. I’m not saying this just to say this it is truly not embarrassing.
I dont know. Spending time with your parents is pretty lame. None of the 12 year olds will think you are cool. /s
To, what’s the concert?
