I love live music and concerts; the excitement and being included in the moment, the crowd's involvement, even the loudness. It's sort of amazing that those things aren't triggers for my seizures, and I don't do the alcohol and drugs also associated with concerts. But then again, most of the ones I go to these days and at my age are probably more on the mellower side lol

AI post answer is not bout music causing seizures but by lights instead? In reality just the fun + excitement of at concert may but no worry if on meds to control them. To deny self this out of fear of a seizure is weird old time thinking. Please be aware AI answers are not medical advice or as up to date.

Yes, songs can trigger seizures in some people with epilepsy. According to the search results, flashing or flickering lights at certain frequencies, like those from concert strobe lights, can trigger seizures. The color red, commonly used in lighting at concerts, has also been linked to seizures. However, songs themselves do not directly trigger seizures. It is mainly the visual effects and lights that may provoke them during musical performances. Identifying your specific triggers can help avoid seizures in situations like concerts.
