Anyone else watching it right now? It's a sign of changed times......... Alexisonfire is playing right now and literally more than half the fans are standing there holding cell phones up to take their absolute crap quality 15 second videos, and nobody is moving a muscle.

I know the mmva's probably aren't the best example as people don't generally mosh anyways, but even at concerts over the last year or so, I've noticed that camera/video phones are taking over crowds. It's to the point that they completely kill some shows, because way too many people are just standing there trying get the perfect video, and i don't know why because I have yet to see a video phone that shoots a video that's anything more than laughable in quality.

Maybe this didn't deserve it's own thread, but I just wanted to get that off my chest, and see if anyone else has noticed this crappy trend. This thread could also be used for anyone who wants to discuss the MMVA's.
