Who knew light sticks could be so controversial?!!!

I stand with you. I don't think it's offensive to bring another group's light stick to a concert, but knowing how much drama this causes, I would never do it myself. I don't have time for toxic behavior. Personally, I'd rather buy a lightstick as concert memorabilia than a t-shirt, but as you said, sometimes there's not enough supply to meet demand or it's too expensive, especially if it's for a group you only casually listen to.

Totally agree! Lightsticks are also really expensive, and buying a concert ticket can sometimes be all one can afford to support a group. I would also like to think groups want fans to support other bands. Let’s normalize liking multiple groups!
