I hope I'm never this Dad

crotch_pheasants · 1 year

hey, this man is truly a great man and father for putting up with what is obviously a horrifying beiber experience for him. My dad was barely willing to acknowledge my existence growing up, let alone take me to an event so purely and only for my own enjoyment.

IDKFA_IDDQD · 1 year

That's a great father. I hope I am that father, even if my ears will be bleeding from the pop star du jour. If you don't want to suffer so your little girl can be safe and happy then you don't need to be a father at all.

If you just don't want to be at a Beiber concert - I don't blame you - but the previous still applies.

Kazudo2 · 1 year

I wouldn't mind being that father when I have kids.

He's got enough money to get his children what they want and he's prepared to sacrifice some of his time to make them happy.

Good dad.

Even guys that don't have daughters should be able to grasp that 2 hours of Justin Beiber is not going to be the worst thing that will happen in the 25-year experience.

My dad endured an NSYNC concert and drove me and my sister to an O-town concert at a high school 4 hours away from where we lived. I've never thought much about it until just now. He truly is a good dad :] and so is this man!

maxxspeed · 1 year

If you are ever a dad and have daughters, this will be you. It probably won't be Justin Beiber, but it will be some other inane asshole that all the pubescent girls of the time will go crazy over.

It was "New Kids on the Block" for mine.

This reminds me of when my dad recently decided to attend a Metallica/ Lamb of God concert with me. He spent most of the concert checking emails on his blackberry.

I would love to be that dad! I want to take my daughter to all sorts of places like this with her friends. I know stupid crap like this means a lot to her and Id be honored to take her there with her friends, just to share in the experience.

JojOhmy · 1 year

My dad did this for me when I was in the 4th grade for a Hanson concert, we ended up getting complimentary parking at the Hollywood Bowl and meeting them. Meant more to me than he'll ever understand... I found out that "weak in the knees" is a real experience, or maybe it was on the verge of fainting...

Seriously, women of reddit, why do you feel the need to scream at a brain-bleeding high pitch when you're insane on some stupid band or riding a roller coaster when you're like 9 to 18? I absolutely love coasters, but the biggest problem is that the whole time I'm on one, I'm completely distracted with how much I can't stand the girls who are just screaming 100% of the entire time non stop for NO REASON. How would they like it if I just came up to them at some time when they're having fun and just started screaming in their faces over and over and over and OVER again? You're on the same ride I am. I don't feel the need to make myself look stupid by doing that, and neither should they. The boy band hysteria screaming is even worse, but I'd never actually be there, so whatever.

NO.

NO!

Unless you're DYING by being stabbed in the chest by a blood-crazy Rupert Murdoch, there's no reason to be screaming like that.

I (31yo male) went to a Bieber concert because I like him, and took my gf and 13yo neice. Me, my gf, and my neice were all well behaved.

However the other 15,000 odd girls were not. The one directly behind me in particular, screamed for two hours, "I LOVE YOU JUSTIN BIEBER" directly into my ear... BLOOD CURDLING SCREAMING, NON-STOP. It was completely, soul shatteringly fucked, and she kept doing it to the point I thought I was going to die. Meanwhile the girls who stole a few empty seats in front of me, kept looking out for security then standing on the chairs so that they could wave and keep blocking our fucking view. At the end of the show they (and a lot of other girls) were sitting in their seats and crying; meanwhile I was laughing inside.

I really wanted to punch a fuckload of them out. I like JB, but I pity the generation of boys that is going to have to date these stupid fucking girls who can't just enjoy a concert.

But my neice is awesome.

That's my same reaction when I see Beiber on TV and can't find the remote quick enough.

levi41 · 1 year

I was that "Uncle". If you have not experienced it you can not appreciate the pain his ears are in right now. When my niece was 13 I took her to see The Thompson Twins at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. The sound of 2000 12-15 year old girls screaming in unison in a rather small venue was excruciating. It was like my ear drums were being peeled away layer by layer by a rusty scalpel while hot acid was poured in my ears.

More damage was done to my ears at that concert then all of the concerts in the 70's I went to.

mqduck · 1 year

inyouraeroplane · 1 year

I have guaranteed that I will never be that dad. My daughter is ten. I raised her on a steady music diet of Ramones, Slayer, Public Enemy, Dropkick Murphys (She regularly chanted along with the OI OI OI parts of Barroom Heroes at the age of 2), The Clash, Social D, etc. I wanted to make sure, in the woprds of the departed prophet Hicks, my kid listened to music that fucking ROCKED.

She is now ten, and I no longer have to shove good music at her. She makes her own decisions. By herself, via Youtube, she found Creedence Clearwater, The Birthday Massacre, and Cage the Elephant. They are her favorites. Alternately, she finds it hilarious to consistently mock Justin Bieber and refer to him in the feminine when she says something about his horrible "BABY BABY BABY BABY" music. I did not teach her this. I am so fucking proud.

She wants her first live show to be Mindless Self Indulgence or Birthday Massacre. I will be a proud motherfucker of a dad that day.
