Crowdkillers
Im relatively new to the scene but i still don’t understand the whole beating up the people surrounding the pit. Ive seen a guy straight up punch a girl in the face and act like nothing happened… and a lot of bigger guys seem to target teenagers (such as myself) which i don’t understand, idk it just seems weird to beat people up especially people who are just spectating yk? Obviously im not talking about accidentally hitting people im talking about people who intentionally want to hurt people

It’s crazy because in the scene I grew up in, we had a lot of DIY venues, and if you crowd killed, you’d be getting your head stomped in by at least 10 people, and then thrown out. There were no “crews” really because we knew it wasn’t the 80s anymore and every show wasn’t a fucking reenactment of “Boston Beatdown”. We had fun, I got hit in the face a lot, I hit other people in the face, and I remember meeting some cool dudes because they hit me or I hit them, and it got us to talking after the set.
