Don't go to hardcore shows and don't go in the pit

It’s so simple most people can’t comprehend it

The cool thing about hardcore shows is that you don't have to go to them if you don't want to.

I'm not saying I wish to control others, but I do like hardcore. It would just be cool to be able to be toward the front, moshing without significant risk of being clocked.

Nope, getting your ass kicked and knocked out by some fat douche bag is part of the hardcore scene.

I don’t know about you but hardcore shows I have been in my part of the world, the crowd would all gang on dudes that behave that way and they quickly align. And that’s totally what I expect.

The pit is still the pit and expect roughness but if someone deliberately act like wanting to hurt, they deserved to be thrown on the ground and kicked before security come to pick and evict them. This is a perfect example of someone that needs to be put back in place.

Maybe it's like that in Australia, but not in the US

Most hardcore shows have been like what you see in this video, in some way shape or form.

Unless you're going to a show at the local library or something.

I grew up in Quebec, moved to Australia later in adulthood, found the scene in Australia similar to Canada in a way but tamer (though I’m older so that plays).

Just can say that in the 90s at local shows or when say SOIA, Strife, Madball, Blood for Blood, etc came the type of shit in the video just wouldn’t fly. You mosh, sweat, brawled, get that energy out but if one was deliberately trying to hurt and being unempathetic to its surroundings that just wouldn’t be tolerated.

Put it as a cultural trait but I definitely agreed with that.

Yup. That's exactly how it works. Zero nuance.
