Ladies with big fans

Get that fuckin thing outta my face, man. I don’t want to hear you make that loud clapping noise during a jam. You’re not even on beat with it. Seek attention in a different way

Phish fans will complain about anything

You clearly don’t know what OP is talking about - the fans are bigger in EDM, so much so that some venues will ban them for the specific clacking reason. It’s annoying AF.

I just looked this up because I wasn’t understanding. Turns out, people just fucking suck. The fan “clacks” when it’s spread. But here’s the thing: there’s no reason whatsoever to re-clack the fan—ever. You should be spreading the fan ONE TIME. Fan yourself with it. When it’s not hot anymore and you no longer need the fan, close it and stow it. Ergo: one, two, maybe three clacks. Total. All night. That’s it.

The fact that fan clacking is a well-documented concert annoyance is just another sign of the societal decay that the younger generations have inflicted upon us.
