How are you getting into shows without presenting ID for age? Every (well, every legal...) venue I've been to in NYC cards to see if you are 21.

I've been to many [big, small] well-known, legit shows in the US as a kid who was not yet an adult.

I did not have an ID, and none was required to get in.

All-ages shows are definitely things that exist.

I have never had to show ID to get into a concert other than tiny shows at bars. Every larger venue around here (SF) I’ve been to checks IDs to get a wrist band which lets you buy drinks, but you can just skip that if you aren’t drinking.
