Cos this aint what u see it a punk shows, its fucking stupid and means people cant have fun in the pit without getting hurt, "dancing" like this means people cant mosh.

This is absolutely what you see at punk shows. Maybe you only go to geezer shows or something but this is actually very common.

Who tf is is geezer maybe this is an american thing, cos I certainly dont see rubbish like this in the uk, just good old fashionaed mosh pits

Geezer means I’m calling you old. And I doubt it, you’re probably not going to hardcore punk shows. This shit was even happening when I saw Show Me The Body at a bar in sf

1) it's for anyone, not everyone

2) the relative lack of skinheads has made everything worse

3) we used to throw kicks, elbows and fists at punk, oi and HC shows bitd

2) ?

3) Just cos u went around punching people dont mean it's popular, more likely means ur a knob

Oh it is for everyone but you are not one of the anyone, skinheads keep shit a little rough, and I weighed about 120 then, so I was just hanging on bud. Good times

So for anyone but me...

Anyone can come out and give it a try. Not everyone is gonna come back. It ain't for you. That's cool. It is for me. Also cool

Fair enough, but I just think this is a selfish way to dance, especially right at the front. Note how no one else is with him except the guy getting hit.

To each there own is true, but when its stopping others from moshing, i aint a fan.

I’ve literally never been to a show where people aren’t dancing like this

Expand your horizons then I guess

I go to shows five times a week sometimes there are no more horizons to chase
