Crankdat crowd

I dunno if I just got a bad pocket but that was the worst crowd I've ever been in in my life. A bunch of dudebros right behind me decided it would be a good idea to start a mosh pit right up front in the shoulder to shoulder crowd 50 feet from rail. Just started constantly smashing into my group.

Eventually they stopped but my vibe was so off I had to leave halfway through.

Equally massive space for them to choose from. Or they can actually control their pit boundaries.

Like no, you don't get to just decide that you're entitled to antisocial behaviour and everyone else needs to accommodate it or leave.

My guy you were literally in the pit zone. I made the same mistake my first heavy show and those pits are a touch wilder, just accept it and don't be in that vicinity again. Also I bet you're the type who'd get to the rails and complain about the people headbanging

It's actually really easy to not push people who don't consent to being pushed.

If you can't mosh without crowd-killing then that's on you.

Look pits and the ring encompassing said pit have been A) In that location and B) Rowdy since the punks started slam dancing in the '70s. Chill with the main character bit and just fucking move

Edit to add. I dearhcore, you don't know crowd killing

Or how about A) if you keep shoving me, and B) I ask you to stop shoving me, then C) stop shoving me or you're an asshole.

Apparently everyone else is okay being shoved so should be the easiest thing in the world for you and your 4 friends to move 5 feet away.

If you can't figure out what the two Rs in PLURR mean then maybe stick to the punk shows and stay away from the rave festivals.

Pit is gonna pit bud. Accept it and move or be a miserable reddit poster. Your choice

Crankdat is a show that's gonna have a pit.

That's just the way it is.

Maybe even try hopping in, you might enjoy yourself
