You can laugh, but these type of guys made us small town bands feel like gods for a few hours lol. If it wasn’t for them….i wouldn’t have the memories I do of jamming back in the day.
I was expecting this to be insanely cringe (and it is just a little) but this is actually so wholesome. Reminds me of me and my friends back in the day when we were innocent and pure and angry :)
Whilst at a norma jean concert, I can still remember seeing someone do a two-step while alternating between invisible jump roping and eating from an invisible bowl
Ahh the scene… dudes dancing like flamingos, girls gettin kicked in the face, huge gauge earings all over the floor and a bunch of loose ear lobes everywhere. Those were days.
Kid I knew had the monstrous gauge ear thing going back then. Finger got caught in it during a fight. Meat on the bottom got ripped out. Now he has a gargoyle ear. Think he works in insurance or he's a lawyer or something.
Yeah my ass lol. I saw a dude get knocked the fuck out at a small venue with that attitude I'm sure he thought his HC dancing made it okay until he took a nap.
I’m not a hardcore fan. Always been a hip hop guy primarily. However, I like how trends like this and musical trends used to grow slowly and purely. Too many things go viral quickly these days and they get bastardised by people trying to get clout or money from it.
This is more metalcore, Deathcore, and beatdown hardcore. Not really hardcore. Hardcore would be like minor threat or Gorilla Biscuts or cro mags. Rappers and singers and whom ever else thags a musical strip’s these days won’t ever put elements or have influences of mid- late 2000’s / early 2010’s Beatdown Hardcore, Deathcore and Metalcore.
@@KH-nova Hm… Possibly. However, they’re not real hip hop. They’re retired former metal heads and hardcore kids like “ghostmane” and bones etc etc who make hip hop but at a poor attempt at it. Real hip hop is from the hood and ghetto and is Hood and ghetto.
@@KH-novayeah like. even if I'm not huge on them and pref other hip hop there's ppl like Zillakami and Sybyr etc etc. there was a solid contingency of trap metal artists that'd sample and take influence from metal. or very literally u can point to someone like Lil Peep who, even if a clean riff, sampled fucking Underoath
hardcore is kinda blowing up again bc of tiktok which i feel indifferent about BUT the local scenes have been coming back. some never left but theres definitely a resurgence. i would look at venues u used to go to, im sure there are shows
Walk up to that special girl you’ve been eyeing from across the school dance hall. Take her by the hand. Walk her to the front of the stage. Show her your best spin kick as N’Sync blares in the background. And remember to thank me at your wedding. 🥂
I remember when they used to mass produce these guys. You couldn’t hardly walk down the streets 2005-2015 without seeing 2-3 of them just walking. They had really terrible defects with the teeth and not too many people know that those braces were actually aftermarket just because you never saw one of those guys without them. Most braces were installed by the dealerships when they received new shipments, they’d typically just mark the price up by $200 which was a really good deal. Nowadays you can’t hardly find them anymore thanks to how popular organ harvesting has gotten.
Pretty sure guys in PC aren't allowed much in the way of visitations. Especially insofar as for the purpose of a RUclips documentary. (The inference is that if they did this kinda shit back then, they're definitely now in jail (or between sentences) (in "protective custody") for groping, assaulting, confining, or soliciting a minor). The whole emo scene is notorious for being rife with groomers and "PDF files".
One of them is a really skeevy cryptobro, one of them is really really REALLY into "craft" beer and facial hair styling, and one of them is following [popular Jam band] on tour selling DMT in the parking lot
Holy shit, I never thought I would come across this video again. This is from a Christian coffee house/music venue called Fuel Cyber Cafe. Played there numerous times and saw some really good bands there way back in the day
For a few years in the late 00s/early 10s there'd be some really irritating kids doing this at every local gig. Didn't matter what the band was playing - metal, punk, emo, hardcore, indie there'd be at least one kid attempt this. It was so annoying.
In the late 90’s at a small hardcore club in MPLS I watched a dude do a Jackie Chan style back flip kick like 10 feet in the air off a brick wall. He wasn’t trying to release any stress or emotion. He was just out for scene points. FACTS!
Your vids rule Please do the forgotten footage of the pit at the "Dropping a popped lockit" "Hi Five" video. There is one scene/ emo kid that has another one by the legs, swinging him around, and the guy who is getting swung around is swinging their arms. If you can't find it then please show other footage that has this description.
Say what you want, but these kids were from literally the last generation of humans that got to grow up without the internet being the focus of real-life events, with constant documenting of things on phones.... Like when you'd go to events to do whatever your hobby is, it was just a congregation of other people who were there to do that same hobby, there was no weird layer of social media being a looming presence. I think it made for a lot more authenticity, tbh.
To some extent, yes...MySpace was heavily tied to the popularity of this music and fashion. There was always a level of clout chasing and documenting social events to seem cool. It was just a little more archaic in terms of presentation & technology. The biggest difference was it wasn't connected to your hip and sending you notifications 24/7.
When I was a young metalhead, I had lots of fun moshing at gigs. Then I started to see this kind of stuff. I was baffled. It's downright antisocial. It's wreckless in a crowd and puts everyone on edge.
@@cjlister8508 The big difference for me is that the old school shoving moshing was pretty safe. If anyone fell, everyone would instantly guard them and help them straight back up. Very rarely did anyone get hurt. This flailing is guaranteed to seriously clobber someone before long.
@@MrDaraghkinch It's the same in hardcore pits too to be fair. Everyone helps each other out. I'm almost 40 so don't go in any pits of any kind anymore, but back in my teens and early 20s I loved this shit.

It can be both, and it is. Everything you do at age 14 is cringe; it's just science. So, even wholesome 14 year olds are doomed.
