[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He probably thought a white supremacist would be welcomed at a punk concert.  He clearly doesn't understand what punk is.

I went to a really diverse HS in the 80s, with real gangs, and the punks in my school were white, black and Asian - I kid you not. They were my friends. One invited me to a punk concert. I declined because I did not want to be crushed in the mosh pit. I'm super petite.[/quote]

Maybe the SS dope thought "yea man I'm hardcore and so punk rockers should be good with me" - nope, wrong kind of hardcore.

Punk has been anti-fascist and anti-racist since its origins in the '70s.

As for moshing, I used to love the mosh pits at clubs but it seems to me kids today don't know how to mosh anymore, and at large events it can get out of hand and there is a crushing risk.

Moshing has always been chaotic but back in the day it was about the energy as opposed to violence, and though it was pretty normal to emerge with a busted lip, bruises or other minor injuries, moshing was not originally about random stupid flailing of fists and kicking feet, and definitely not intentional harm of others, or the a-holes who do it and try to claim plausible deniability.  And back in the day there was always etiquette, like picking someone up if they get knocked down, leaving non-moshers alone, respecting venue staff, helping crowd surfers rather than messing with them or trying to knock them down and so on.  We used to look after each other to make sure nobody (especially petite people) got badly hurt and there were times when I saw someone behaving like a jerk in a mosh pit intentionally trying to hurt others and I threw them out of the pit and called security on them if they didn't chill out. Seems like there's less of that "have fun but look out for others" culture these days.  [/quote]
