Skinny Puppy Final Tour in St Pete


Hey everyone, so this past Tuesday I took Jacob to go see Skinny Puppy on their Final Tour. This was the first time he has ever seen them and probably will be the only time he will ever see them since this is gonna be their last tour. This was also the first time I had seen a concert probably since 2015, it had been a very long time. To say I was nervous was an understatement, when we got there I was nervous as hell. I don't do well in social settings because of my general and social anxiety but I do power through it or I would never leave the house at all and I can't just stay locked up inside the house so I push past my own comfort a lot of times so I can get out and do things. We got there and it was a lot of fun, I ended up getting a t-shirt and we found a spot near the stage to stand. Most of the people seems friendly enough so I got comfortable during the show and was moving around more and more and didn't give a fuck about anyone around me. Well Jacob had told me after the show when I leaned in on him that some asshole looked disgusted and tapped his girlfriend to point at us, I am so glad I didn't see this because that would have mentally fucked with me the whole show. I honestly don't get it, most of the Goth community is not homophobic in the slightest, its pretty much anything goes because everyone is already ostracized so everyone lets everyone be themselves. I guess that may not be a thing anymore, which is funny considering that their were straight couples there practically fucking and kissing there and all I did was lean on my boyfriend and hug on him, we didn't even kiss. Also their was a girl there in nothing but fishnets and a thong, no bra so if he can't handle me and my partner being affectionate maybe he shouldn't be there. Maybe he should go to preschool and learn how to deal with people again. Skinny Puppy was amazing live as always, the setlist was good too featuring some of my favorites like:

  1. Human Disease
  2. Hardset Head
  3. Pedafly
  4. The Choke
  5. Assimilate
It was very well done and I am gonna seriously miss Skinny Puppy releasing new music and touring but I completely understand why they are doing it.
