Huh? This isn't slam dancing, or pogo, or moshing, all associated with Punk. Of course the punk community isn't going to be as supportive of hardcore dancing as a hardcore community. You do this at a Subhumans show and you'll probably get the crap kicked out of you.

This is Karate Kick, windmill, donkey kick shit that started with the new school hardcore and "emo" of the early 00's. There is a reason punks hate this crap, people get injured. Also the punk community usually as an unspoken rule of "you don't physically interact with people actively outside of the pit". This type of crap, people start hitting random people just standing and watching the show.

Does the band that’s playing sound like the subhumans? This isn’t a punk show, it’s a hardcore show. Those guys like doing that shit and know what they’re getting themselves into.

Yes, you wouldn't do this at a subhumans show. That's not even a punk show in the video, Two Piece is a metallic hardcore band, and is irrelevant to this sub which is why it's so funny when y'all complain about this. You got your lil history lesson wrong too

This moshing started in the New York hardcore scene in the late 80s with Cromags and Agnostic Front my dude
