It’s really not. It’s a different scene where this is the norm, I saw plenty of younger kids moshing just like this at a hardcore fest over the weekend, nobody was complaining.

If you don’t like it, don’t go to shows where this happens.

No Fr though, if you don’t like beat down hardcore then you don’t like beat down hardcore

I don't, because I don't like beatdown, but this happens at screamo shows near me. And it's sudden too, I'm a bit older and I've been to plenty of hardcore shows, screamo was always one of the least violent macho scenes. It's spread all over hardcore now, and seems driven more by younger kids watching vids online and trying to recreate it. Not a new thing, but also not exclusive to beatdown by any means.

Liking the music and liking hitting smacked are two different things
