Went to a basement hardcore show in No Funswick. Saw Awesome, George, Rich NJ, Tom Murphy, and a bunch of other people.
Now, hardcore shows can get a little crazy. Especially when they're in a tiny basement that's full of drunk people. As many of you know, I'm fairly new to hardcore, as least "new" hardcore. I've been listening to Minor Threat and Black Flag for a while. What I have been listening to a lot longer is metal. And I was immersed in that scene. For a long time, the only hardcore I'd ever see were the fans who'd try to 2-step at metal shows.
ANYWAY. So the last band of the night goes on, and the crowd pretty much explodes and lots of guys start flailing and punching and kicking and running into each other. Whatever, it's a hardcore show, you're an idiot if you don't expect that. But there was this guy, this fat asshole, who is where I am all the way in the back and just starts swinging his arms as hard as he can backwards towards the people who do NOT want to mosh! I pushed him pretty hard and he looked at me, but didn't say anything.
He eventually hit a girl hard enough her nose started bleeding.
And I was livid. This stuff infuriates me. If you want to mosh or 2-step or kick people in the head, go do it where everyone else is doing it. And where is this kick/punch backwards shit coming from? I fucking hate that. The idea is to hurt others, when it should just be a release or an expression regarding the music.
I like moshing, I don't do it often anymore, but when the energy and the music click, I will circle pit your face off. But when I see innocent people getting hurt, sometimes REALLY hurt, just because a douchebag want to be tough, I really just want to beat the shit out of them.
Gah.
My upstairs neighbor is screaming and cursing and stomping his feet again. It is 2:13 am. This is probably because I made some noise that he could hear. Which could be me walking, or opening a cabinet door or saying "meow" to one of my cats.
Awesome and I saw Terminator Salvation and we both really liked it. Apparently everyone else think it sucks and I just don't get it.
[EDIT]
It is 6:56 am.
Around 6:30, my mom called the cops because the guy upstairs was still screaming and stomping. He apparently heard her, because in about a minute he bolted. Cops showed up, talked to my mom, told her to file a complaint blah blah.
I want to meet this guy to tell him how much he's enriched my life.
