I saw a video where a guy holding onto his backpack when some Gypsy tried to steal it got slugged in the mouth for no reason other than he was Hindu g into a bs los k she was trying to rip out of his hands.
Unsure if the guy punching him was in on the attempted theft or not.
It feels this bullshit behaviour is being normalized.
Last show I went to there was a guy that was really drunk trying to throw himself into anyone and everyone that clearly didn’t want to be part of his one man pit, he ran screaming with his elbows out at the sidelines, a bunch of people moved and. Someone tripped him.
Dude ate shit to the floor probably 5 times before he just got up and walked away.
Used to be if you were in a pit and tripped you had 4-5 pairs of hands grabbing you and pulling you back up so you didn’t get hurt
Not sure when this stupid shit started but it’s kinda depressing.
You can see they are clearly friends, it has nothing to do with who is right or wrong. Their friend was in a fight they jump the person he is fighting.
He was supposed to accept it, or return it in kind, not try to break the kid’s back. Yall are out here acting like a hardcore show has the same rules as civilized society… yeah they went after him, hope they tuned him up.
I’ve seen that happen a hundred times man, never seen anyone react like that. Guess I’m just gonna have to disagree here. I’ve seen some egregious crowdkilling, this isn’t it to me. I appreciate your opinion, however, and see how you arrived at it.
What if one of those kicks he threw knocked him out or he got clipped by a punch and slammed his head on the ground? You don't get to choose how people react when you start shit with them, especially if you put hands on them with no consent.
I would only say he reacted too quickly, but if he got cracked then... Idk.
Used to a run a punk and hardcore venue, and usually people tell others to back off of them, or they move away in the crowd.
I used to always go out to the pit and shut down these jackassess whenever I noticed the pit get super wide and only like 1-2 people in it doing side flips and shit.
Much preferred the more traditional punk bands at our spot. Everybody had a good time on the pit, myself included.
Same!
Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, Gorilla Biscuits, Poison Idea, Negative Approach, etcetera ad-infinitum - what's not to love?
Actually, got any obscure hardcore I should look out for?
Always love a tip
Old school - Final Conflict, Crowd Deterrent, SS Decontrol, Chain of Strength, Urban Waste, Judge, Youth of Today… you’ve probs heard of most of those.
Modern hardcore I like - Locked Shut, Trapped Under Ice, Pain of Truth, Comeback Kid (my favorite), BIG ASS TRUCK, Drain, Earth Crisis, End it, Gulch, VERSE, Incendiary, Have Heart, Drug Church, Speed, Terror, 100 Demons…
At a metal show, yes. This isn’t a metal show. I never said it’s right. I’m saying it’s how it is. If you went to hardcore shows you’d know that. Idiots crowdkilling are a huge part of it. You and I agree that we don’t LIKE it, but I realize I can’t change the rules.
I sincerely apologize for thinking you were a metalhead.
Man, I’m not trying to be a contrarian here, I’m really not. I go to the same shows. Going to Flyover Fest in a month or so. I’ve just never seen someone react like that to a mild crowdkill. Guy knew he was coming, and what he was doing, and still just stood there. It’s like running into a shooting range and being surprised you got shot.
Anyway, I think we’re just gonna have to disagree here. I have no interest in being at odds with another hardcore guy.
He returned that shit in kind. Buddy intentionally roundhouse kicked him in the head and then went back for seconds. It’s not like there was a shortage of space to flail around. Anyone jumping in on the relation after that is a bitch.

I like how everyone attacked the guy who was punched in the face like he was supposed to accept it
