Hardcore Swagger?

[kbi the crowing]

So I've always been an advocate of letting people express themselves in whatever way they please, but I'm starting to get kind of annoyed with the gangster-hxc attitude by people at shows and such. How do you guys feel about it?

[Nerdy91]

I don't care I just ignore it.

i would've put indifferent, but it seems that lately the majority of people are even considerate anymore about the people who want to watch the show, not get pushed around.

I'M STANDING BEHIND THE SOUND BOOTH AT ETID SO I DON'T GET KNOCKED OVER/GET BEER SPILLED ON ME STUPID REDNECK

I hate it, any form of I'm so tough and I'm better then you attitude pisses me off.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

I love hardcore music, but god do I hate people at hardcore shows.

[Deadbolt23]

I came to watch, not fight. Nevertheless, i went with 'Indifferent'. It doesn't really bother me. I just don't get why you'd pay so much money, and then not even watch the band.

This. I've missed so many good shows in the last couple years because I just don't feel like deal with the scumbags there.

Well there are 2 types, the slam dancers and then u got the big burly guys thinking its cool to crowd surf. And no matter what, it ends up being a fight. Thats why I chill at the side of the stage lol

FYS/SYG/fireworks/the swellers. new haven, ct. july 2009. so many jerks in their high school lacrosse or football pinneys pushing little kids around and yelling shit at the bands between songs. not even into the bands, just going there to try and act tough in front of other people. it took a lot of fun out of it, thank god the bands made up for it but it makes me not want to go to some shows anymore

[Billy Black]

Dislike.

The overall attitude is SOMEWHAT tolerable...

But when I'm at a show/concert and I'm NOWHERE near the pit-
and I get elbowed or hammered down on (not pushed; a deliberate, physical gesture) by one of these "hxc" kids-
my line is crossed and ruins the show for me and others.

I don't mean to sound like I'm whining,
but if I wanted to fight or get rough, I would enter the pit on my own accord.
Or take some sparring classes.

[spansen]

it's stupid ( i voted dislike) but it doesn't bother me much.

Damn Toads Place. It's not even that big to do that shit. Fuck the "hardcore jocks"

This pretty much sums up exactly how I feel.

[Toothache]

the biggest hardcore assholes reside in SE pa and northern delaware. trust me.

[Theseventhson]

I voted indifferent although they can be quite obnoxious.

[jgord88]

I love hardcore but, Throwback hats, Parkas, Camo shorts, Black band tees = annoying.

[miketheauthor]

So glad you posted this poll. I think I hate ass hole kids like that more than anyone. It's pretty frustrating.
