The only thing he did was crowdbash, and he punched people in the face and shit, even women he punched. I was about ready to bash his skull in with this heavy ass pot handle I had with me. But this little fucking kid, he looked like he was about 11 hit him in the back with a fucking chair! Then he booked all the way to his house and had the balls to come back. That kid has all my respect. If shit ever goes down, I've got his back no matter what.

The Kid crowdpunching sounds like a douchbag, there are quite a few of them out there now, at the show I was at friday night this kid i know was crowd punching and hit my girlfreind dead in the face and gave her the bloody nose of her life! Granted she's awsome and once she realized her nose wasnt broken she started laughing, she wasnt pissed off at all though, the people running the show (one of our friends) even asked if she wanted the dude kicked out but she understands the risk and just said, "thats what i get for comming to a hardcore show."
I crowd punch too but there are some kids who do it to acctually harm people and thats lame! When you crowd punch your generally supposed to punch over the crowd just low enough to scare em and if they just so happen to move and get hit thats there fault. The kid you mentioned who hit the crowd puncher with the chair, although the kid crowd punching may have deserved a beating, a chair is a bit excessive. The venue i was at on friday even had a sign that read "CHAIRS ARE FOR SITTING NOT FOR HITTING" :p

The pits at hardcore shows and metal shows are two completely different things! I hate push pits!

Hardcore is a lifestyle that revolves around the Hardcore Punk music Genre, there are a lot of fakes out there, often refered to as fasion core kids, who do not live the lifestyle but still do sometimes attend shows, however usually the 2 groups are seperated as fasion core kids attend more mainstream shows (such as bands like norma jean and atreyu who mind u arn't really even hardcore) and lack the understanding of what hardcore really is, while "true" hardcore kids generally attend underground shows (bands such as Bane, Righteous Jams, Have Heart, Guns Up!), to the outside world these shows would often seem chaotic and like half this thread lables it "stupid." but in reality the dancing and running around that goes on at these shows is extreemly organized and generally pretty safe. Not to say that there isn't a risk of getting hurt, like I mentioned above, my girlfriend got punched in her face at a show on friday and got one hell of a bloddy nose! However she did not retaliate against the person who punched her because she undersands the risk that you take when you go to this type of show. Hardcore however isnt just about the shows but also about the way you live, its about unity and pride for onself and each other, there is a saying that most hardcore kids take to heart "Friends, Family, Forever". For a better understanding (somewhat in the form of a rant) check out post #24 in this thread.

Its all good, Kylay, no hard feelings. I just get a bit worked up when people judge a lifestyle and no nothing about it. Kinda like politicians vs. stoners!

Man, hardcore dancing is the most idiotic form of "dancing." Actually, I'd be inclined to say it isn't dancing. It's artless, and makes people look like morons. It makes you all look like you think you're cool because you can punch the air, and do random kicks at the air. Well, you're not cool. rofl.

Stop being so close minded, hardcore is a lifestyle! The way the kids choose to dance is thier choice, if you dont like it then dont go to a show! i personally think it is and art and its beautiful. And guess what, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Indeed!...

Its all good, its ure right to dislike the dancing, as long as you don't insult my lifestyle:thumbsup:

i dont like the dancing, but ive been to plenty of hardcore shows.

blood for blood! haha.

this ones for da mudda fuckin bruisuhs

I'm ok with the hardcore lifestyle. Being friends, and sticking with eachother is all good and shit. Most of the new hardcore music is shit in my opinion, except for some moshcore like Hatebreed and FBC. The main reason I hate hardcore though is because I can't go to a metal show without some dumbasses punching air. At the Municipal Waste show people were 2stepping, at the Suffocation show people were dancing, and at the Belphegor/Krisiun show people were dancing. Keep your kung fu at the hardcore shows!

I hear that, a lot of new shit is crappy, but theres a bunch of good local bands emerging out of the scene where I come from. As far as people dancing at metal shows... thats just lame! I dont like it when some kid comes to a hardcore show and starts head banging or push pitting, i say let the metal kids have their fun at their own shows and let the hardcore kids have their fun at the hardcore shows... it sucks when people just dont know whats up... BTW, what band are you in? Got a band myspace or somthing?

I'm in www.myspace.com/ashoursturntodays


The guitarist calls it Deathcore, but alot of our songs sound pretty hardcore. Once we play a few more shows and get some recordings up on myspace, we are going to record a demo. We just started and are already getting some positive feedback from the locals. Our real hardcore scene is basically dead, everything that is "hardcore" is really some form of deathcore. I'll post a topic once we get a recording up so you can hear.
