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"

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

as far as the dancing goes, i don't. I'll get in the pit and push people arround and get messed up, i'm 6'4 275 so in a pit i gotta watch my ass, people will try and knock you down if your a big dude. so i strap on my shit kickers and kick some shit!
Its all good bro, you should come to some local shows, generally kids stay out of the way of the bigger kids now :thumbsup:

All this talk of "Hardcore"...what is it??

The video did make me laugh though.
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.
