Talking and shouting during a concert is not from recent years and is part of a international occurrence, as shows this (poor quality) video of the best guitarist ever lived!

(not the best example of a Jimi experience but it's about the crowd that's not really paying attention)
Oh puhLEASE…
Most times the Dutch get a bad rap for not making enough noise during a concert. Usually, the crowd is nearly too respectful and the band is embarrassed. I remember seeing Radiohead during their "OK computer"-tour in Ahoy. Total silence. Thom Yorke addressed the crowd: "I know this is Holland and all, and you enjoy just listening to the music, but hearing 10.000 people make no noise at all is kind of strange."
And the Dutch are really the only people in the world whose farts smell?
What I find most irritating is people in a tight crowd moving randomly and violently. There was this one guy close to me who did a Stevie Wonder impersonation with his whole body all night long and didn't seem to mind that he hit everybody around him. He was Dutch. Years ago in Tivoli the same happened with two people (who also had the WORST body odour I ever had the displeasure to experience). They kept shouting during quiet sections (which they halted a bit after I yelled in their ears to shut the f*ck up, of which even Bent was grateful), requested "Demon Box" loudly when Snah walked onstage with an acoustic, and in general made so many totally random jerking motions with their bodies (not to be confused with dancing) that they created a circle of about a meter in diameter around themselves in an otherwise packed crowd. They were blissfully unaware of their being overbearingly irritating. And they were Norwegian.

Tvdr, there's a difference between cheering and crooning and "neuk, keuk-hahahaha" constantly, as I'm sure you agree.
This is not Dutch specific behaviour, except us Norwegians, who knows all the songs, has the perfect tone, and genereally smells like roses no matter what we eat, you must have been mistaken about the show in Copenhagen, probably sweedes, an honest mistake, and you are forgiven, good sir.
What Thom Yorke got wrong is that his music isn't much to cheer about, nobody claps their hands when they wander off with rope in hand.
But could it be that I've seen Motorpsycho mostly in small venues all these years, and one of my raison d' nagging is down to poor accoustics? I've seen several complaints about soundquality at de effenaar lately…
