Coolea is always making s tier content about our music and always making it fun. Thank you coolea for making my life better even for a small amount of time
first hardcore show I ever went to was therapeutic. I left feeling grounded, I took up space, calm and collected. Also made me self-conscious about my hygiene when someone in the crowd passed by smelling so good i practically saw flowers trailing behind them, cutting through the BO and weed stank. 10/10, I should go to more concerts.
I’ll never forget the time I went to a local Metal gig in Austin. I went into the mosh pit and I got my glasses knocked out my my face. The crowd circled around me so I could put my glasses back on. Metalheads are seriously the coolest people.
It’s weird how that works. Happened to me when seeing Prodigy, this girl fell down during a mosh pit and everyone stopped pushing in a ripple, from closest to furthest. I lifted her back up and moshing restarted
That's how I remember shows when I was younger. I remember getting slammed into at a Rammstein show and losing my balance. Everyone around me grabbed me and stood me back up all asking if I was good. Unfortunately my local scene has devolved into crowd killing. Went to a show this week and witnessed two people leave in ambulances.
Worst people are actually those who keep their backpacks on in the crowd yet have no spacial awareness of how much space it’s taking up. Like I get it, you came straight from work, but why does your backpack look like your about to climb Everest
I stood behind four boomers at a "Sisters of Mercy" show last year and they just wouldn't shut the kcuf up, bragging to eachother how often they had seen them before, how much better they were then, shitting on the opening act and so on. The good thing was, that eventually, everyone around them formed sort of a silent alliance against them and when finally someone told them to shut it, like five others, me included, chimed in, surprisingly, they immediately left. My experience was vastly improved.
Exact same thing here, went to one of their concerts a few years back as a teenager. Two men behind me basically kept trying to make everyone aware that they had been fans for longer than some of us had been alive. Good job guys, probably wouldn't even have remembered if they didn't also both think it necessary to **touch** some of the girls that weren't alive to see the sisters in the 90s. Gross gross gross
I feel your pain. I had a girl directly behind me at Ghost screaming the first five songs at the top of her lungs. You'd think after getting dirty looks from everyone she'd shut the fuck up, but nope! She kept it going until she lost her voice.
Had similar experience over a Skinny Puppy concerts. Had 2 dudes keep yapping for like 15mins. At some point I just shout "Hey guys you know there's a concert going?". I ain't big and the guys were bigger. I clearly hurt their ego but once they saw everybody around was laughing, they just shut up.
I paid $300 for two great seats to Ghost. The woman behind me screamed every lyric to the first five songs directly into my ear. Good thing it was a three hour show.
I was just at a grindcore show where some dad kept trying to fight people for moshing too close to his daughter even though they were all parked right on the edge of the pit and it scared some kid enough that he pulled out a set of brass knuckles, it was stupid.
last hardcore show i was at i got five nights at freddy's jumpscared by a giant middle aged bearded white man. he jumped on stage, made direct eye contact with me, then belly flopped right on top of me. tbh i can't really be mad cuz now i got a funny story
i was at a black metal show, people were moshing all good fun but there was some dude in a burzum shirt between the arist and the mospit that kept being visibly annoyed by the moshpit. (there were enough places he couldve moved to be unbothered by the pit) i remember him lookin back at the crowd like "guys tone it down a little bit". this was at a lamp of murmuur and invunche show btw. my thesis is that he has never listened to metal outside of his basement.
Remember to keep an eye on the Upcoming Events at venues near you, sometimes you'd be surprised the kind of names that end up playing small venues. I went to several $30 concerts last year, despite this part of Canada getting left off most artists' tour schedules
I'm literally sad that, the other day I was seeing some shit and I saw that Isis and Melvins played in an event in my city (middle of nowhere in a third world country) last year and I was like "what the fuck???" and I feel sad fr I didn't went but I didn't knew either lol. is there even a site or something to check these out? I'm not a huge isis or Melvins fan (although I do enjoy the Panopticon and Houdini albuns) but, just to see that bands I often see mfs talking about online playing in my town was a shock.
@@vicstoron You could try BandsInTown, though I'm not super familiar with how it works. I just check the separate schedules of a few venues around my city lol
@@vicstoron Are you sure it was actually Isis, or could you have mixed it up with some other band? I can't find anything about a reunion except for a one-off gig under the name Celestial in 2018, but they are a bit harder to google nowadays for obvious reasons...
I hate generalize people but when I hear someone like to go to concert nothing ever good comes from them it either cheating some illegal crime that why I'm severed introvert what funny I'm good at dancing but it gets destroyed by people with the attention span of a coconut. :v
People who talk through an opening band; I know ya didn't wanna lose your spot for the 'headliner' but sometimes the opener IS the headliner for me, and the older I get, the more true it becomes. Went to see Dark Blue open for someone, can't even remember cause I didn't stay, and these fuckers talked through the whole set aobut how they didn't like them
I agree. I want to see sabaton this year and open for Judas priest. I like priest as well but I'm going for sabaton primarily as it's the only opportunity I have. respect all the bands who play, even openers.
I saw Sabaton aswell and Babymetal and Lordi opened for them. I get how people who go to that concert are not exactly the demographic for Babymetal, but I probably wouldn't have payed that high a price if it wasn't for two bands I wanted to see and I almost lost my temper at some drunk men nearby, who were shouting about how bad they supposedly were throughout the performance.
@@AlfredSoul I know. The other bands worked just as hard to get where they are, sometimes even harder. Think about how many openers are now the headliners. I go to a ghost ritual every chance I get and they were the opener for Metallica and a bunch of other bands, now they headline their own thing. Last year ghost brought amon amarth and while I wouldn't see them solo, they were good at what they did, even if I'm still not sure what he was singing.
@@matg9844 they were. My daughter and I still rowed the Viking ship. I could catch a few of the lyrics but not all. Between the heavy accent and singing style I didn't fully understand all of it but it was still good.
On my first Grindcore show the singer performed the whole time without his pants on and the venue was so small that there wasn't even a stage. That said the mood was very nice and no one got hurt so 10/10
From what I hear most bands are actually making very little off of gigs with venues taking a huge cut. The thing that most bands rely on is merch sales. I hope I'm wrong
Sometimes it's a door deal, sometimes the booker/owner is generous, sometimes you play for food and drink and sometimes just nothing. That's just how it is as a starting band.
My friend, if only you knew how bad things really are. Everybody is finding it hard in the UK scene. Venues are shutting down all over the place because they can't justify their running costs. It hit the news here recently that some venues were starting to take cuts of merch sales too. Nobody wants to pay for originals, so most new live music is performed gratis or for next to nothing. I've spent far more money on rehearsal time and travel costs than I've ever made by playing, though admittedly, I'm only a local amatuer musician. Everybody at a local level, including musicians, venue owners, sound techs, promoters, managers, and countless others, does music as a side-project, hobby, or at best a second job. Nobody can afford to do it full-time, and I for one wouldn't want to because it's such a lot of work for relatively little pay. The problem then is that nobody has that much time to put into music. With how poorly the economy is going overall, I can't see that changing any time soon.
I was at limp bizkit the other week. Im 32. There was a very mellow mini wall of death that opened up during the opening act. I was in the front. Some 18 year old dude sprinted in sideways, like completely the wrong direction (coming from the stage towards the back wall) and happened to hit me headfirst in the face right as I bumped shoulders with the guy on the other side and split my eyelid real bad. Kids have no idea how to mosh these days.
im glad you added "other concert goers consent to crowdkilling" because alot of tik tok push mosh kids and boomer thrashers think it "ruins" show but 9/10 hxc metalcore adjacent show they know what they sign up for
the thing is tho, i hate when obviously the vibe is slam dance karate and then the pit has a break and gets rushed by push pit people. Im not gonna swing on them and everyone else im moshing with will let them do their thing but it gets annoying
I've never had a stage diver land on me, been hit by a severed pig's head, been elbowed in the eye or been robbed. Probably because I don't go to Black metal gigs.
Went to my first concert last week. It was a Tool tribute band. Didn't know what to expect so I stayed in the back of the most part but for the last few songs I was in the pit, small venue nothing too crazy. Fun night though.
Went to go see 100 Gecs last year and got my chest groped by someone on “m&ms” who had no regard for the people around them thrashing everywhere bothering most people around. Wasn’t even that far from the pit so why they didn’t do they’re thing in there still confuses me. A pretty awkward and uncomfortable situation, but at least the show was fun.
Don’t forget the annoying drunks who get plastered before the main act. I went to see Muse last year on tour with Evanescence. The women got kicked out before Muse could even perform, pulling up her shirt and exposing her bra next to a 6 year old, trying to take people’s phones next to her. And trying to touch people to get their attention. It was embarrassing but after she got kicked out it was an amazing time. I never understood the point of getting extremely wasted at a show. It makes the experience worse compared to being sober (or just a little tipsy) in my opinion.
some people are just alcoholics, they probably dont want to get that wasted and ruin the show for themselves and everyone. But they drank too much and they did. As someone who has been bot ha responsible drinker and an alcoholic teenager, being drunk is fun but going blackout can sneak up on you. Esp if you're shorter/lighter/a woman.
Some of us enjoy being drunk sorry. Our space not yours at the party. Obviously she went too far, but I wonder if the band started in time. Most drunk I ever saw a show was one that started over an hour late. Everyone collectively had a mistimed pregame. Knowing Muse the drinks were overpriced and she had too many on the way thete. Don't be so judgemental. It's a party foul that's all
to be honest they can aslo be some of the funniest at shows, i turned up early to one and there were about 10 of us standing driking our beer watching someone play (their music wasnt really great but still) halfway through a song this guy came in shit faced and started cheering for the singer when they had done, that was nice to see, then later on when the main band came on we got him to do a couple dances in the middle and was an all round wholesome moment]
once with some friends we were in a mosh pit and a woman thought that the best idea to move was to walk through the mosh pit and then she started yelling at us because she had been pushed around. .. I don't know, if you don't want to be pushed around don't get into the pogo?!
You clearly do not comprehend just how poor I am But real talk the closest stadium or venue from where I live is a road and a half which does up the price
One time at a Pup show a dude ran into my lower back head first and as a reflex or reaction I threw my elbow back and hit the poor guy in the head and I was instantly like "oh shit dude, u okay?" And then he looked up and was like "yeah, sorry i didn't see where I was going"
there’s nothing that bugs me as much as shirtless dudes - old drunk dude just doesn’t have the fitness that he did when he was a kid so he compensated by sweating on everyone
I saw EYEHATEGOD about a month ago which was my first real show since the virus and the crowd was perfect, great show compared to the stories I've been hearing online about how no one knows how to behave anymore
Nothing on pub chatters? Man the amount of times I've had people around me discussing their next or previous meal, right at the front of the stage. Just because the music isn't blasting your unprotected eats out at this moment doesn't mean you have to start chatting.
Also went to see Dropkick, who has a lot of fans outside the 'scene', all of whom don't know the rules. Dude had his arm around his girl IN THE PIT punching, with intent, anyone that got within range.
Out of the hundreds of shows I've attended, the best crowd ever, by leaps and bounds, was at an ICP show. (*I assume that the crowd for a Tuesday night gig at a small venue in Australia is not quite the same as the crowd at Gathering of the Juggalos ... though I certainly put in more than my fair share of effort)
There is always the one insecure guy that wants to beat up anyone who bumps into his girl. He usually gets in into a drunk push fight outside the venue over his girl and then proceeds to brags about it.
went to see napalm death yesterday. i only knew one song previously but i had such a blast. also the tickets were so cheap it would have been stupid not to go
A couple more, The entitled (usually) girl who wants to push in front of you "just to get a photo" with no intention of coming back (see also "my boyfriend's just there ") The singer that chucks a harmonica into the crowd at random after the token harp solo, cracking unsuspecting audience member in the head before they get bundled by audience members that were actually paying attention- I'm talking to you Terry Hall (1st Specials tour) The naked man dancing, who is known as Jesus (Roundhouse, 1970s
I cross my arms sometimes during concerts but it’s more just anxiety based I’m more than likely still enjoying the concert just getting a little overwhelmed with people around me It’s really not a good combo really enjoying seeing live performances while also being socially awkward and anxious (though honestly I’ve been getting better over time which is nice)
When I went to when we were young 2023 we were 3 people behind being center stage for green day but there was a group of about 13 or 14 college bros that were smoking hard M&Ms since the beginning at Sum 41 and for 7 hours after them and nearly everyone else started smoking more M&Ms. The M&Ms smoke was so strong my eyes were bloodshot red the next day.
7:10 couldn't be any more true, i dragged my mom to a johnnascus set and she proceeded to get jumped on by johnnascus taking his full body weight on her chest dawg
Saw the Melvins 2 years ago in a pretty small black box venue. It was mostly 40 year olds with Tad shirts and no moshes, but it wasn’t bad. Glad it wasn’t one of those awful tiktok crowds like Alex g or dg
What about the guy who films the whole thing, never moves, never dances as that would mess up the shot and gets upset when you get in the shot or question why you spent all that money to just watch it through a camera and not enjoy the moment.
I went to my first ever concert last year to see Iron Maiden and the experience was amazing. Now I expected the music to be loud but not loud to the point where it felt like a grenade went off in front of me since my ears were ringing for the next 30 minutes. The atmosphere was great, only half the people were there for the opening act and once the opening act finished a huge influx of people showed up which is kind of unfair to the opening act. The singing and stage performances were awesome and there was this one guy who kept bumping into me and I wasn't even in the mosh pit (no fucking way was I going in one of those lol) Had a great time and there were lots of cute metal head girls there but my rizzing skills aren't great, in fact they're non-existent but it was nice to be surrounded by cute girls regardless. Would definitely go to more concerts of bands that I like if they ever tour near me
I've dealt with push pits,slam dancing,moshing and getting random elbows and punches. But the worst ive come to experience has been crowdkilling. Small percentage of folks keep to their bubble but some folks are purposely out to harm folks due to their own microscopic testicles.
one time i pushed my pal into a white woman with pink dreadlocks and she spilled like a quarter of her drink, she tried stopping the whole performance (small venue) just to call him out, didn't work obviously so instead she just shouted in my mates ear the whole time lmaoo. i tried offering to buy her a drink after in good faith but she stormed out after i offered
6:43 i always take my dad with me bcs most clubs require being 18 yr old or a parent, but he's always having fun even on punk shows (he listens to depeche mode)
the most real vid he has made. i’m the texas hardcore/ death/ emo scene has so many ppl that js go to get fucked up off all kinda shit. tbh i’m the guy who judges the bands live mix and i honestly only go to see the death bands where there’s less ppl that like to get fucked up but broooo the crowd killers….
Crowdkilling is hitting the people on the edge of the pit, slam dancing or whatever is different and depends on whether acceptable by band or part of song. Also love you clip of the stage diver is the vocalist. Go to more hardcore shows of various bands and actually pay attention to what’s happening rather than standing in a dumb spot and having a sook
I used to run a metal webzine and one of my photographers got their gear smashed by one goombas. I wrote an editorial basically calling that shit out, particularly around photographers. I basically made enemies with the entire Midwest USA hardcore scene and made some crazy ad revenue.
@@matg9844 philly photographers would get a kick out of this comment bc if they got there gear broke they wouldnt cry about it on a blog complaining bout hxc
I plan on being at KMFDM's concert at the Agora Theater in Cleveland, Ohio this March near my birthday, with my mom and sister deciding to buy tickets despite some areas of the city, like the state of Ohio being dangerous(same applies to my state of Michigan with the dankest corners of Detroit and Flint, both cities including pop culture/anime/video game conventions I'd love to visit the same year like Youmacon). Metalcore fans and Swifties are the worst fans to ever come across back in 2023, especially the latter worshipping Taylor Swift like a goddess during her ERAS tour(Michael Jackson fangirls probably did the same back in the 80s). But disasters related to music festivals such as Woodstock 99, Fyre Festival, Astroworld 2021, among others are when anything bad to do with concerts enter rock bottom.
Quite new metalhead here, been to a few shows so far, tons of diffrent genres (so far I'm enjoying Melodic Death metal and power metal the most), but yeah most intense concert so far was the hardcore gig that my sister took me too. I got clocked in the ear so hard i lost hearing in it for a while and It wasn't even in the pit, my sister fell down so I was trying to pull her up, thats when someone bonked me. Another guy got his tooth knocked out? Good times. Anyways 10/10 will go again.
funny you should mention the strokes, i saw them at reading (2001?) when they 1st came out, they were halfway up the mainstage, they were seriously boring to watch, iggy pop was on next, a man almost 3 times their age, and wiped the floor with them, he came offstage covered in blood, that's how you do it!
I'm the guy who eats mushrooms at the show. Very spiritual. Crowd harming is lame if you going to do fight club there's rules...ha. You forgot the extremely intoxicated slayer fan who's only words are SLAYER!!! It was like communicating with smirfs but if they said slayer instead of smirfs.
I’d say the worst I’ve had is a dude spinning like a bay blade at a thousand miles an hour in the middle of the pit clothes lining everything and everyone 😮 he then got up on the stage and jumped face first into me and my sister.

Wasn’t even that far from the pit so why they didn’t do they’re thing in there still confuses me. A pretty awkward and uncomfortable situation, but at least the show was fun.
I forget how many times iv been saying this: can we please get an ignorant guide to deathcore?
I drink and smoke w333d but I *always* go to gigs straight. What is the use of hearing/seeing a live act if your brain is pickled?
Trump 2024
ur videos are always fire, dawg
Don’t forget the annoying drunks who get plastered before the main act. I went to see Muse last year on tour with Evanescence. The women got kicked out before Muse could even perform, pulling up her shirt and exposing her bra next to a 6 year old, trying to take people’s phones next to her. And trying to touch people to get their attention. It was embarrassing but after she got kicked out it was an amazing time.
I never understood the point of getting extremely wasted at a show. It makes the experience worse compared to being sober (or just a little tipsy) in my opinion.
Some college aged dude got hammered at a local show I went to and had him and his two friends trying to push me into the pit
Sounds more like the aforementioned m&ms
some people are just alcoholics, they probably dont want to get that wasted and ruin the show for themselves and everyone. But they drank too much and they did.
As someone who has been bot ha responsible drinker and an alcoholic teenager, being drunk is fun but going blackout can sneak up on you. Esp if you're shorter/lighter/a woman.
Some of us enjoy being drunk sorry. Our space not yours at the party. Obviously she went too far, but I wonder if the band started in time. Most drunk I ever saw a show was one that started over an hour late. Everyone collectively had a mistimed pregame.
Knowing Muse the drinks were overpriced and she had too many on the way thete. Don't be so judgemental. It's a party foul that's all
to be honest they can aslo be some of the funniest at shows, i turned up early to one and there were about 10 of us standing driking our beer watching someone play (their music wasnt really great but still) halfway through a song this guy came in shit faced and started cheering for the singer when they had done, that was nice to see, then later on when the main band came on we got him to do a couple dances in the middle and was an all round wholesome moment]
Coolea your takes are incredible thank u you 🙏
Thanks for the idea! Now I want to make a concert with all of these types of goers. Minus the M&M Gobbler.
Alright this is peak Coolea , the video quality can only go up from here
It's those who jump in the pit with their beer in hand for me. At that point you don't even want to drink it, you just want to piss off people
once with some friends we were in a mosh pit and a woman thought that the best idea to move was to walk through the mosh pit and then she started yelling at us because she had been pushed around. .. I don't know, if you don't want to be pushed around don't get into the pogo?!
As someone who is too poor to go to a concert, I completely agree
Local shows are $10-15
You clearly do not comprehend just how poor I am
But real talk the closest stadium or venue from where I live is a road and a half which does up the price
@@Bismark1815 Just cut back on drinking n junk food 💯 gl champ
Punk concert are 8- 10 euros
I like to listen to the video without watching it and try to guess which meme was used for which bit.
i absolutely love how honest you are in your video's
Pre-recorded music for life.
New ground music enthusiast
Go to a live show you might like it
video suggestion: something about dungeon and keller synth
bro leave the dads in the back alone! Hahaha
You forgot the roider that stands in the pit waiting for a challenge like it's fucking fight club
One time at a Pup show a dude ran into my lower back head first and as a reflex or reaction I threw my elbow back and hit the poor guy in the head and I was instantly like "oh shit dude, u okay?" And then he looked up and was like "yeah, sorry i didn't see where I was going"
You know what i hate? People who keep their phones out.
I LOVE CROWDKILLING
Dude just called Brody King flabby
there’s nothing that bugs me as much as shirtless dudes - old drunk dude just doesn’t have the fitness that he did when he was a kid so he compensated by sweating on everyone
Coolea video gets my jimmies in a shimmy
oh my god, lmao used to be the m&m dude at the heavy metal concerts and now I'm the last dude lmao.
5:52 hey, it's a cameo by TheReportOfTheWeek.
I saw EYEHATEGOD about a month ago which was my first real show since the virus and the crowd was perfect, great show compared to the stories I've been hearing online about how no one knows how to behave anymore
EYEHATEGOD has the best crowd
I’m jealous
Jealous
Nothing on pub chatters? Man the amount of times I've had people around me discussing their next or previous meal, right at the front of the stage. Just because the music isn't blasting your unprotected eats out at this moment doesn't mean you have to start chatting.
Would you consider making a video about the gabber and hardstyle scene?
Can’t believe it… he’s done it again
Also went to see Dropkick, who has a lot of fans outside the 'scene', all of whom don't know the rules.
Dude had his arm around his girl IN THE PIT punching, with intent, anyone that got within range.
Doing m&ms at a death grips show sounds like a horrible idea. Being drunk at a death grips show was an amazing idea both times
Imagine if Ninja had a low taper fade
I agree
My sister is the exact definition of the quirky concert goer lmaoo.
THE HELL IS A M&M
I went to a basement concert yesterday
My ears are still bleeding from the overloud amps
Out of the hundreds of shows I've attended, the best crowd ever, by leaps and bounds, was at an ICP show.
(*I assume that the crowd for a Tuesday night gig at a small venue in Australia is not quite the same as the crowd at Gathering of the Juggalos ... though I certainly put in more than my fair share of effort)
kinda funny that the three pits you showed during the crowdkiller part at 2:45 is from an A7X concert lol
man managed to get to a death grips concert
The best observation of these kinds of people is 'thank you for not moshing' by reel big fish
Coolea + NeopunkFM collab when?
There is always the one insecure guy that wants to beat up anyone who bumps into his girl. He usually gets in into a drunk push fight outside the venue over his girl and then proceeds to brags about it.
went to see napalm death yesterday. i only knew one song previously but i had such a blast. also the tickets were so cheap it would have been stupid not to go
A couple more,
The entitled (usually) girl who wants to push in front of you "just to get a photo" with no intention of coming back (see also "my boyfriend's just there ")
The singer that chucks a harmonica into the crowd at random after the token harp solo, cracking unsuspecting audience member in the head before they get bundled by audience members that were actually paying attention- I'm talking to you Terry Hall (1st Specials tour)
The naked man dancing, who is known as Jesus (Roundhouse, 1970s
Token harp solos exist? Bands throw harmonica into the crowd?!? 😫 clearly I haven't lived
@hatecubed to be fair this was in 1981, the token solo was in Message to you Rudy
karate pits go crazy
I cross my arms sometimes during concerts but it’s more just anxiety based
I’m more than likely still enjoying the concert just getting a little overwhelmed with people around me
It’s really not a good combo really enjoying seeing live performances while also being socially awkward and anxious (though honestly I’ve been getting better over time which is nice)
What wisdom has this dude dropped on us this time
what does he mean at the end of the video? what is meant with that meme?
0:35 is a local guy from my "scene", he hates talking about the mattress now haha.
I guess going to a concert is way more different than it was in the past.
When I went to when we were young 2023 we were 3 people behind being center stage for green day but there was a group of about 13 or 14 college bros that were smoking hard M&Ms since the beginning at Sum 41 and for 7 hours after them and nearly everyone else started smoking more M&Ms. The M&Ms smoke was so strong my eyes were bloodshot red the next day.
Im going to my first concert in June, thanks for this informative video so i can make sure i dont end up like any of these people
Nice, have fun.
7:10 couldn't be any more true, i dragged my mom to a johnnascus set and she proceeded to get jumped on by johnnascus taking his full body weight on her chest dawg
Saw the Melvins 2 years ago in a pretty small black box venue. It was mostly 40 year olds with Tad shirts and no moshes, but it wasn’t bad. Glad it wasn’t one of those awful tiktok crowds like Alex g or dg
Good video, could we get an ignorant guide to D-beat
What about the guy who films the whole thing, never moves, never dances as that would mess up the shot and gets upset when you get in the shot or question why you spent all that money to just watch it through a camera and not enjoy the moment.
Going to a hardcore show next weekend :)))
Ngl, I’m lucky bc my dad loves deathcore and all that so we go to a show and chill together
I went to my first ever concert last year to see Iron Maiden and the experience was amazing. Now I expected the music to be loud but not loud to the point where it felt like a grenade went off in front of me since my ears were ringing for the next 30 minutes. The atmosphere was great, only half the people were there for the opening act and once the opening act finished a huge influx of people showed up which is kind of unfair to the opening act.
The singing and stage performances were awesome and there was this one guy who kept bumping into me and I wasn't even in the mosh pit (no fucking way was I going in one of those lol)
Had a great time and there were lots of cute metal head girls there but my rizzing skills aren't great, in fact they're non-existent but it was nice to be surrounded by cute girls regardless. Would definitely go to more concerts of bands that I like if they ever tour near me
I've dealt with push pits,slam dancing,moshing and getting random elbows and punches. But the worst ive come to experience has been crowdkilling. Small percentage of folks keep to their bubble but some folks are purposely out to harm folks due to their own microscopic testicles.
depends on the band bud sum bands call for it
one time i pushed my pal into a white woman with pink dreadlocks and she spilled like a quarter of her drink, she tried stopping the whole performance (small venue) just to call him out, didn't work obviously so instead she just shouted in my mates ear the whole time lmaoo. i tried offering to buy her a drink after in good faith but she stormed out after i offered
Honourable mention to the person that pissed during a Death Grips show
6:43 i always take my dad with me bcs most clubs require being 18 yr old or a parent, but he's always having fun even on punk shows (he listens to depeche mode)
the most real vid he has made. i’m the texas hardcore/ death/ emo scene has so many ppl that js go to get fucked up off all kinda shit. tbh i’m the guy who judges the bands live mix and i honestly only go to see the death bands where there’s less ppl that like to get fucked up but broooo the crowd killers….
in*
and all the fucking posers in the emo scene…… i’m not much a gatekeeper but ifykyk
Zoomer hodgepodge moshpit in hxc shows? Been a dad for to long it seems
Crowdkilling is hitting the people on the edge of the pit, slam dancing or whatever is different and depends on whether acceptable by band or part of song.
Also love you clip of the stage diver is the vocalist. Go to more hardcore shows of various bands and actually pay attention to what’s happening rather than standing in a dumb spot and having a sook
I used to run a metal webzine and one of my photographers got their gear smashed by one goombas. I wrote an editorial basically calling that shit out, particularly around photographers. I basically made enemies with the entire Midwest USA hardcore scene and made some crazy ad revenue.
@@matg9844 philly photographers would get a kick out of this comment bc if they got there gear broke they wouldnt cry about it on a blog complaining bout hxc
As a Knocked Loose fan, I’m ashamed to be a Knocked Loose fan
I'm in that DG concert clip you used lol
I plan on being at KMFDM's concert at the Agora Theater in Cleveland, Ohio this March near my birthday, with my mom and sister deciding to buy tickets despite some areas of the city, like the state of Ohio being dangerous(same applies to my state of Michigan with the dankest corners of Detroit and Flint, both cities including pop culture/anime/video game conventions I'd love to visit the same year like Youmacon). Metalcore fans and Swifties are the worst fans to ever come across back in 2023, especially the latter worshipping Taylor Swift like a goddess during her ERAS tour(Michael Jackson fangirls probably did the same back in the 80s). But disasters related to music festivals such as Woodstock 99, Fyre Festival, Astroworld 2021, among others are when anything bad to do with concerts enter rock bottom.
I just bought 3 concert tockets today lol
I hate the 6.5ft+ giants that mosey up and catch everything
Quite new metalhead here, been to a few shows so far, tons of diffrent genres (so far I'm enjoying Melodic Death metal and power metal the most), but yeah most intense concert so far was the hardcore gig that my sister took me too. I got clocked in the ear so hard i lost hearing in it for a while and It wasn't even in the pit, my sister fell down so I was trying to pull her up, thats when someone bonked me. Another guy got his tooth knocked out? Good times. Anyways 10/10 will go again.
Ain’t nobody spun kicking in 2024 In DC anything
Im a photographer and often shoot at gigs, i love the underground scenes but man I REALLY FKIN HATE CROWDKILLERS
funny you should mention the strokes, i saw them at reading (2001?) when they 1st came out, they were halfway up the mainstage, they were seriously boring to watch, iggy pop was on next, a man almost 3 times their age, and wiped the floor with them, he came offstage covered in blood, that's how you do it!
I'm the guy who eats mushrooms at the show. Very spiritual. Crowd harming is lame if you going to do fight club there's rules...ha. You forgot the extremely intoxicated slayer fan who's only words are SLAYER!!! It was like communicating with smirfs but if they said slayer instead of smirfs.
I’d say the worst I’ve had is a dude spinning like a bay blade at a thousand miles an hour in the middle of the pit clothes lining everything and everyone 😮 he then got up on the stage and jumped face first into me and my sister.
