Soma San Diego

The concert arena, Soma in San Diego, serves as a place of acceptance for a diverse group of people of all ages thereby endorsing coexistence and peace creating a peaceful atmosphere that is perfectly warm and welcoming-just wanting you to have a great time. Upon entering, you get patted down and made sure you are not carrying anything on yourself. In the lobby, I saw younger kids just mingling waiting for the lead/last band of the night, Mae. The bands that performed that night were Deus Veil, Locksley, and Mae. While walking into the arena, I noticed this place looked like a perfect place to take someone on a date. Inside the arena, there was a more mixed audience similar to that of a community college, older and younger. After surveying the whole place, the prevailing class spotted was middle class, or people that dressed more middle class. The only people that stood out were a group of four or five Asian middle-aged men dressed in suits, standing in the back of the arena when every band was performing. This place is similar to that of a high school, where everything is clicky and everyone is in a group. There is no real interaction between the people watching the concert, just the fact they all appreciate the music. Music Appreciation dates back to the first performances and shows that were put on in the Americas. Minstrel Shows and Operas are the first performances that brought out audiences to watch these shows. Music is something that is apart of our culture and it will take a lot to get rid of it.
