Abstract
As environmental awareness grows, the world is increasingly focused on living a low-carbon, energy-sustainable lifestyle. At the same time, with the global outbreak of the COVID-19 in 2020, online concerts are growing rapidly to maintain social distance between people and keep isolated lives rich. Therefore, in this survey, we focus on the online music scene, which has flourished during the epidemic, and compares various indicators to find out which of the two forms of music, online or offline, is more sustainable. The article will use questionnaires, literature surveys, and three indicators - carbon footprint, water footprint, and economy -to discuss how much energy is consumed by both online and offline concerts. The energy consumption of a single person at an online concert is less than that of an offline concert. This research study will demonstrate to society the superiority of online concerts in terms of sustainability through a scientific and rigorous approach, which will be beneficial to reducing global energy consumption.

Summary
Since the beginning of 2020, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we have taken various measures to avoid the spread of the outbreak, such as wearing masks, isolation, and social distance. For a long time, live concerts have been suffering from consuming a lot of resources and generating a large carbon footprint, which is unfavorable to the sustainability of the environment. To enrich people's entertainment life while avoiding the spread of the epidemic and saving energy and protecting the environment, online concerts have emerged and become popular. Fans purchase electronic tickets on the internet. Most of the fans watch the online concert in their own homes, and some watch with a few close friends.
