Now, in contrast, it's almost like everyone is out for themselves, trying to broadcast their individuality to whatever meager social following they have. There's less dancing and more standing around and holding a phone. With a phone in hand, there's little sense of being present and no room to be lost in a moment. The ephemerality and self-expression that come along with it are totally lost to every moment being recorded on a phone.
With all this being stated, there is definitely antisocial behavior at concerts and in the world at large that is either consciously or unconsciously conducted. But a big part of something being "antisocial" implies some kind of control over the situation. When it's something you don't have control over, like simply being tall of stature in a crowd, it doesn't really make sense to
As a decently tall fellah, I'm a bit biased when it comes to this, and it's always been something I've been uncomfortably aware of in crowds and the inevitable fact that I'm probably blocking someone's view at some point. When possible, I'll position myself in front of poles or dead spaces in the crowd to lessen my intrusion.
There always comes the problem, though, of the people you're with being able to see, too. I've never had a problem with that, but my girlfriend, at 5'2", really struggles to see over a crowd. We'll typically wind up wherever works best for her, with me awkwardly smiling at the people behind us.
Sometimes, people get really and unnecessarily offended about the whole situation, like this couple did to this 16-year-old girl. She turned to this online community to see whether or not she was wrong for removing the move when asked to by another couple at the show.

"AITA for not moving behind shorter people at a concert?"
