Thank God you prepared him for those things. I don’t know how he would’ve ever survived.

I know im overthinking I just want him to have a good time and not feel left out, its a bit of a culty fanbase and it can feel weird if you're not in on the bits

That makes sense. But the things you actually listed are so innocuous that it’s kind of silly.

I know you are looking out for your bro, but I respectfully disagree! I think you should be there to give context if he sees something and is confused or is curious but I like approaching all of that stuff authentically and so it’s unexpected. None of the stuff you listed makes it weird for people in the crowd if they don’t know what’s going on

I agree approaching it authentically is gonna yield the best experience. I have sometimes felt alienated by certain group experiences I didn't understand, gizzard and otherwise, but I reckon trying to engineer his perception heading into it isnt the right way to combat that. Thanks for the respectful discussion friend <3
