Coldplay recently set Mumbai’s DY Patil Sports Stadium on fire with its epic concerts on January 18 and 19. The Grammy-winning band left fans thrilled with unforgettable performances. While many got to experience the magic live, countless fans across the country missed out as tickets were sold out in just minutes. Recently, a woman on X (formerly Twitter) advised those who couldn’t attend. In a lengthy post, she shared her perspective on the FOMO many might feel.
She began by pointing out that social media would be flooded with concert content, with many highlighting that the concert was a life-changing experience.
“Over the next two weeks, you’re going to see endless stories of the Coldplay concert-people posting blurry videos, screaming lyrics they barely know, and acting like it’s the most life-changing experience ever. And if you’re sitting there, just watching and skipping through, feeling a little left out or wondering why your life isn’t as exciting, take a deep breath,” she wrote.
She further explained most people attending the concert weren’t even die-hard fans.
“Some people just got lucky with tickets. And let’s be real- 90 per cent of the Indian crowd at that concert probably knows only 5-6 songs at best. I know so many people who are just going because it’s the “cool thing” to do, not because they’re die-hard fans,” she added.
She reminded everyone social media made people feel like they are missing out on something big. In reality, missing out on such events doesn’t mean anything is wrong with their lives.
“This isn’t some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that defines success, happiness, or whether you have your life figured out. It’s just another event that’s been hyped up beyond measure,” she continued.
She urged people who are feeling left out to remind themselves that not every trend should be chased to make life “meaningful.”
“What you see online is just a highlight reel, and people will move on to the next thing in no time. Just scroll past those stories like you always do, focus on your journey, and trust that you’re exactly where you need to be,” she concluded.
The post received mixed reactions from online users with many agreeing with her thoughts while others voiced their disagreement.
One user commented, “Agreed, what’s the point of doing something just because it’s ‘cool thing’ to do? You’re not interested, it’s not your personality still doing that just to fill your social media.”
Another shared, “This is true. I have recently talked to one such fan, he did not even know “Hymn for the Weekend” is one of Coldplay’s songs. It is just pure FOMO, and getting IG famous, that’s all.”
“You don’t have to get a PhD in Coldplay to just enjoy a concert. When you watch a movie, do you have to know everything about the director, actor, lyricist or singer,” someone argued.
Another commented, “Why everything has to be a part of the hierarchy in India I don’t understand. Let them enjoy.”
“Let people go to concerts without needing to be a die-hard fan…Live music is an experience everyone should have especially one with such a spectacle,” a person pointed out.
