intotheshit: Mosh Pits Are Ghey

intotheshit 09.02.12	A good friend of mine went to a show last night with his girlfriend. Right as the set for some shitty metalcore act started, a pit formed right where they were standing, and she took a boot to the face. Now she is going to need plastic surgery to repair the damage to her cheek(teeth were jammed all the way up into her gums and out through her cheek), and she has a broken nose and a shattered sinus.
someguest 09.02.12	What the fuck is wrong with people?
KILL 09.02.12	into the pit rip
MO 09.02.12	whoa
Trebor. 09.02.12	I went to a shitty metalcore show and all I got was this surgery
intotheshit 09.02.12	Hey, my original account was in honor to testament and my high school football team. Plus, pits were cool when it wasn't a bunch of skinny jean-wearing fucks throwing their tiny fists around like they have epilepsy.
KILL 09.02.12	honestly though maybe she should learn to waltz? or if it was a gay metalcore band i guess swing your arms around like a faggot but yea i'm sure it was an accident as homos dont usually attack others!
MO 09.02.12	did the fuck who did that at least acknowledge he fucked up
someguest 09.02.12	"shouldn't have seen a shitty metalcore band and stood near the pit." that's like saying 'you shouldn't have been standing on the sidewalk' when the person is hit by a drive-by shooter you're retarded
intotheshit 09.02.12	"shouldn't have seen a shitty metalcore band and stood near the pit." It's kind of hard to get away from the pit when it just forms around you and you get knocked out 5 seconds into the first song.
JackSparrow 09.02.12	Typically you are able to see whats going on in front of your face
Trebor. 09.02.12	I hate people, shit like this is why I don't even go to shows anymore
intotheshit 09.02.12	"did the fuck who did that at least acknowledge he fucked up" When the ambulance showed up and started putting her on the stretcher(she was out cold), my boy Kevin went after a group of kids who said the exact same thing andcas just said. Kids ran away the second he started going after them.
phishing 09.02.12	go to a proper m/ show no epileptic fags there
JackSparrow 09.02.12	I don't hate pits as much as I hate stage divers. The worst fucking people. You can move out of the way from pits pretty easily. But those assholes will take anyone down
someguest 09.02.12	"shut the fuck up someguest. it's not hard to know where it forms and move somewhere else." since when is it ever appropriate to start doing high kicks at a show? you go fuck yourself sir.
intotheshit 09.02.12	"go to a proper m/ show no epileptic fags there" It was a her little brother's band opening up for 2 other local acts. "shut the fuck up someguest. it's not hard to know where it forms and move somewhere else. what band was it anyways intotheshit?" There's been plenty of shows where a pit formed around me that I didn't see coming. Don't be a fucking tool, andcas.
Trebor. 09.02.12	Damn andcas you're making someguest look sensible
pmmets07 09.02.12	holy shit. that is fucked.
someguest 09.02.12	not my night I guess
intotheshit 09.02.12	Andcas, shut the fuck up. For a long time we were cool but since I have come back from my "hiatus," you've been proving yourself to be a complete and utter fucking retard. Just shut your ignorant ass up.
phishing 09.02.12	"It was her little brother's band opening up for 2 other local acts." fair enough man where i live local bands can barely put a riff together nevermind get a pit going, hope your friend gets better, shit business
intotheshit 09.02.12	Andcas realizes what a fucking retard he is. Tries to sound sensible. Too late.
intotheshit 09.02.12	God you're fucking dumb.
intotheshit 09.02.12	My accounts have nothing to do with that. It's not my fault you've been spewing inane nonsense the past few months.
intotheshit 09.02.12	Shut up.
DeathGrinder 09.02.12	thats a shame
intotheshit 09.02.12	It's not about being grouchy. It's about my lack of desire to engage into an "intelligent" conversation with someone I don't view as intelligent.
Calc 09.02.12	holy shyt that sucks...
ConcubinaryCode 09.02.12	Her teeth went into her gums and out her check? Did the dude have steel toed boots? Fuck that must suck.
ChopSuey 09.02.12	*gay
Spec 09.02.12	I only recently realized how much I despise hardcore dancing.
ChopSuey 09.02.12	was it ever great in the first place?
WeepingBanana 09.02.12	"shut the fuck up someguest. it's not hard to know where it forms and move somewhere else. what band was it anyways intotheshit?" same logic rape apologists use. you're taking the responsibility away from the mawshers to not assault the people around them who are minding their own business and you're putting the responsibility on everyone else to settle for a dangerous standing area. all in all shoving and fucking around is fine but i hate those pricks who windmill
ConcubinaryCode 09.02.12	Future concerts are probably ruined for her as well
Spec 09.02.12	I never liked it but usually just wasn't bothered by it.
bungy 09.02.12	it comes down to thinking about other people while you're around other people as lame as it sounds. fuck that dude
WeepingBanana 09.02.12	nah i gotcha. you just made it sound like the solution was for her to move and not for them to be even slightly considerate
tombits 09.02.12	hardcore moshing is probably the most homoerotic thing ever all the best to your friend
bungy 09.02.12	the worst are crowd surfers who are stomach down and crawling on people
pmmets07 09.02.12	damn you guys are lame
JackSparrow 09.02.12	The front isn't really the best place either unless you're to one side of the stage, because you're where all the crowd surfers will end up. I've had my share of hits taken from moshers and surfers, you really gotta keep in tune with whats going on around you.
bungy 09.02.12	crowd surfing is fun and fine as long as they remember there are real people under them
intotheshit 09.02.12	I love how andcas is desperately trying to cover his tracks.
EyesWideShut 09.02.12	whoa that sux bro. did any of the other people get this guy or was it just the 2 of them?
MuhNamesTyler 09.02.12	That guy doesn't deserve his little weenis
WeepingBanana 09.02.12	crowd surfing is fine as long as you don't do it EVERY FUCKING SONG i fucking hate kids like t hat
intotheshit 09.02.12	It wasn't guaranteed that the two he went after were the ones who did anything, they just happened to say something inappropriate. And I love how someone tried to correct me on how to spell "gay."
EyesWideShut 09.02.12	"SIX TIMES. ONE PERSON." why the fuck didnt anyone drop that fat bitch
JackSparrow 09.02.12	Moshing can be really fun, so long as there aren't dudes on power trips trying to take you down
Spec 09.02.12	I like being at the very front at the mic.
JackSparrow 09.02.12	Dear god haha
pmmets07 09.02.12	this thread sucks
Graveyard 09.02.12	pointless list
intotheshit 09.02.12	Why did you make a new account again Graveyard? Oh.... yeah..... so we could forget about your original one. Mission failed.
Graveyard 09.02.12	@pit - that makes no sense
intotheshit 09.02.12	@Baseline Dumbest statement ever. I understand your whole schtick is being an elitist, but that statement is just uber-dumb.
intotheshit 09.02.12	"@pit - that makes no sense" Makes plenty of sense. You're just too dense or ignorant to understand it.
Graveyard 09.02.12	alright cool
Emim 09.02.12	sucks but i can't help feeling it could have easily been avoided
intotheshit 09.02.12	Well, when I went and saw her in the hospital, Kevin told me it happened within 5 seconds of the first song, so I don't know how it could have been avoided Emim.
ReturnOfTheDnor 09.02.12	If I'm ever at a show that I know a stupid pit is going to break out in, I always stand near a wall, but from the sounds of it, I can tell she was just trying to watch her brother's band and the thought of an idiot trying too hard to "express the anger inside him through dance" blindsiding her never crossed her mind. I hope she recovers quickly man. Never like hearing about people getting hurt at shows. Music is meant to be enjoyed.
Emim 09.02.12	pits usually start in pretty obvious places idk, maybe it couldn't have been avoided and maybe it could have. doesn't matter either way and i still hate the windmilling little fucks that populate every show
intotheshit 09.02.12	I've stood near walls before, and I've stood in the middle. Pits can start anywhere. I understand that pits usually start in the center of the floor, but I've seen them start a foot away from the wall as well.
ReturnOfTheDnor 09.02.12	Oh for sure, but in 99% of the cases, the closer to the wall you are, the less likely of getting caught up in a fagfest like that. I mean, anything's possible, and seeing how she got a boot within 5 seconds of the song starting, doesn't sound like she had time to realize she was in a bad place and somebody was coming at her. It's really a shame man.
Emim 09.02.12	needed to happen at a hardcore show
AdamK 09.02.12	at dumb metalcore shows kids actually try to kick girls in the face so you gotta watch out
AdamK 09.02.12	at pop punk shows and even some hardcore shows people look out for eachother
Acanthus 09.02.12	I enjoy mosh pits, though there's a difference between moshing and throwing punches/kicking. Sucks for the girlfriend, really not sure what else anyone can say. For the curious here's a great opinion piece from the BBC about moshing/daily life and how they compare/what lessons can be taken away from either: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19335267
MoosechriS 09.02.12	Hope your friend promptly kicked the shit out of the dude
NoMeansYes 09.02.12	bring a helmet next time. Lesson learnt.
JoshTh 09.02.12	I enjoy moshing when its basically a bunch of people trying to get as close as possible to the stage, but still not trying to hurt anyone. I've seen mosh pits where it was basically a bunch of over weight teenagers showing other teenagers how awesome their donkey kicks are. Hope your friends gets better though
Evreaia 09.02.12	hardcore moshing is probably the most homoerotic thing ever all the best to your friend. [2] Most bands I go to don't have pits but when they do I always hate it. It really ruins all the atmosphere that's going on with jumping and shit. Everyone just stands at the edges hoping to not get hit by some fags boot.
Turtlestlker 09.02.12	Hope she recover, but moshing is different from hardcore dancing. Fuck those kids and FUCK crowd surfers.
Aids 09.02.12	moshpits are as good or bad as the people in them. if the show is full of idiots then the moshpit will be ghey. if it's full of good people just wanting to rock out and have a great time, then it will be fine and no one will do anything stupid.
YoYoMancuso 09.02.12	damn that sucks, hope she's ok
ChuckyTruant 09.02.12	yeahh
SpiritCrusher2 09.02.12	mosh pits at thrash metal concerts are by far the best mosh pits, at least from my experience
TheLast7thVermicide 09.02.12	Mosh pits at metal concerts owns hard. But with bands like asking alexandria and emmure are really fucking gay, their gayness is at the same level of the pointless walls of death in a Skrillex concert.
KSK1 09.02.12	Someone died in a car accident once so yeah cars are gay.
KSK1 09.02.12	In seriousness though that sucks hope everything turns out alright.
Spec 09.02.12	This bro-core thing has gotten old. Seeing Structures solidified that.
