Behold the Demon Scream
Fans have always lost it at concerts. Why does it feel different now?
A couple of months ago, a fan named Sydnee Tallant pointed her phone camera at a Jumbotron showing Suga, the BTS rapper now on a solo tour, as he performed at the Kia Forum, outside Los Angeles. But in the concert footage she posted on TikTok, you can barely make out what he’s singing, because Tallant was wailing at the top of her lungs the whole time. “I sound like a beast,” the 19-year-old told me later. In another recent , a young woman at a in Arizona swivels the camera away from the stage, capturing her own face as she screams the bridge to “Cruel Summer.” The clip has been viewed 2.6 million times.
