imo, he's sick of seeing the same old faces in the front row of every concert. It makes him look very uncool and not current. He tried to be subtle with the phone drop and rant but it didn't work. I don't think he gives a fuck if he pisses people off. It's his career and he's had enough. I truly think he appreciates all fans but probably thought his groupies would look a little different lol My opinion of course but this has been my stance all along. If you're over 35, stay out of the front row. Me included Are we talking about the grandma comment in the face swap Instagram? If yes, I think he's kidding and implying grandma's don't understand new technology. Just saying those that didn't understand are a little old. I don't think it's disrespectful. Not intentional. Face it a grandma can be about 40 years old. He's not that far off himself. Lol yes it was 'tongue in cheek' and it is not worth an iota of drama...except he pronounced ageism as the culprit for 'not gettin' it'..think what peeps are "hinting" to is he immediately assumed that the comments were from "grannies" who knew nothing about tech...yet comment section seemed all over the place age wise.......as to front row seats...wtf? .....what has that got to do with this?....lol...so love all the drama with the first two rows of his concerts.......groupies eating groupies....... |

The "pedestal" point - very true, I think, yes. "He's just a man," right? (to quote from "Hair")

I don't think he is addressing anything about concerts or front row. He is just making a thoughtless ageist comment. That is, actually incorrect (concerning those original face swap comments.) for those of us in the dark - what were the "original swap comments"? i there are/were quite a few comments telling him to quit messing with his face (botox), etc. Some quite authoritative and mother henny. the usual ... add in the judgemental comments about the dude he face swapped with being under age and I expect enough was enough. His IG, he can and should say whatever he wants. his 'no filter' is a thing of fandom pride until it comes at you. j/s |

What did Adam possibly say to get this reaction from some fans about ageism.. I don't usually care for the snapchats but I LOVED the last one.. He is totally talented.. what am I missing??? I'm 76 ,probably the oldest member of Adamtopia..I dance my way through life and sometimes act immature .. so be it . I have found Adam to be very respectful of those who also show respect for him..I have to say I have met some older fans at live performances who embarraseed me by their pushiness and by acting like older self important,entitled groupies. At Miami Pride they got to the front early pushed their way in and left the younger fans in their dust.. I know for a fact that some young gay folks have sometimes given up getting close to the stage or even going to his shows.Now this may have nothing to do with the snapchat,but these are my feelings that I have hidden for a while. IMHO,Yes if you have the money,the time and love for Adam go to his shows.. but you don't own him,let others also get to experience the joy of seeing him and not turn other fans off .
Now I might be off the subject ,but I feel a bit bad for Adam.. He has tried kindness,humor and some entitled older fans could care less and think he's kidding when he's annoyed. I'm not hidding behind any couch either because I'm a proud granny who can laugh at herself and knows not to act like my 15 year old granddaughter.If Adam told me to stop taking videos for the 20th time I would stop taking videos,because I respect him as an artist and It's his show. I certainly wouldn't ignore him and continue taking pictures of him telling me off. That's really chutzpah . Now to top it off folks are telling him what and how to post.. Rant over.. It was worth it even if I'm kicked off Adamtopia

I cut him some slack - he is allowed to be human, as are we all. Sometimes I wince about some unthinking comment I have unwittingly made. Why would I expect perfection from him when I don't expect it from myself or my family. I am not disappointed in him at all. I respect him and I love him for being Adam, neither saint nor sinner, just human. One fine, generous gorgeous human - just sayin'  |
