Partying With the Largely LGBT Millennial Audience in Troye Sivan's Bloom Tour Manila 2019

I love being with today's millennials during concerts.

Their energy is so infectious and I feel like I am 25 years younger when I'm with them.

And on a good day, I can jump and dance along with them. Of course, taking my pills before going to the concert, lest I drop dead there because of a heart attack!

Unlike most of my contemporaries, I do not do nostalgia very much in terms of music. I don't play the music that I grew up with. Well, maybe once a month.

I have always moved forward with music, and I guess that helped a lot in me getting my current writing job in the music industry.

Basically because I can distinguish my Cardi B from Lil Uzi Vert, my Stromae from Robyn and that Greta van Fleet is not a woman and Billie Eilish is not a boy.

If you don't know any of these artists then you are a fossil and should talk more to your kids. Joke!

My Thoughts on Troye Sivan's Bloom Tour 2019

Troye Sivan's Bloom album was one of my favorite albums of 2018 with four #1 songs in my personal charts.

I discovered him a bit belatedly due to his homoerotic video for My My My, which he followed up by fully dressing up as a woman in Bloom, then continued with Plum and Lucky Strike where his love interest was another guy.

Times have really changed. This type of music would've not blossomed during my teenage years.

There is a particular song of his which fully explains my attitude towards God, religion and heaven. He sang it last night in front of a very appreciative crowd -

"Without losing a piece of me
How do I get to heaven?
Without changing a part of me
How do I get to heaven?
So if I'm losing a piece of me
Maybe I don't want heaven?"

My thoughts exactly. That realization I made a long time made me finally be at peace with whoever God is, organized religion and everyone's wish to be in heaven.
