My love is average, I obey an average law
This is genuinely one of the best songs, and best albums, I’ve heard in so long. So happy that I get to see them tomorrow night, in a tiny venue, FOR FREE.

We have a new track ‘Limerence’ streaming on the Rock Sound website! Go check it out and share it about!
Many good points made here. I have obviously supported quite a few hardcore/mosh/downtuned bands over time, and I do (generally speaking) love the music, but I am sick of the developments over the last few years of the actions of some of the crowds.
I do not want your fist/body flying at me or you to try and kick me if I am stood at the back or against a wall. How much floor space do you need? You can’t have the whole room - that’s very selfish and not everyone wants to ‘move’. Some of these people don’t care who they hit, male or female, and they think it’s hilarious or just “part of what happens”. IT’S NOT. It’s vastly inconsiderate and, frankly, disgusting.
As has become what seems to be standard procedure at Southampton hardcore shows, I walked into a venue filled with teenagers, each donning the same attire, staring each other out and looking each other up and down from opposite ends of the room.
I am not ashamed to admit that I used to quite…
Couldn’t agree more.
I’ve seen, and played shows with, a fair few mosh bands over the years and I don’t hate the music a handful of them made; what I do hate is having to make sure some pre-pubescent neanderthal isn’t going to cut my fun short with a flailing limb at the request of a narrow minded front-man.
Grow up or get lost.
Agreed, so much. This paragraph especially:
It seems that this new wave of hardcore kids don’t respect, don’t care, or simply don’t even know what this community is about. This is meant to be a family. It’s not some sadist, egocentric epicentre for violence.
I used to go to local hardcore/metal shows a fair bit but the constant bad mosh and calls for ‘YOU FAGS, OPEN THE PIT’ (and other homophobic slurs) just killed it all for me. I want no part with such closed minded fashioncore.
Come for the community, not for the street cred.
LOL crowd killing. I do like moshing, especially the Hardcore kind you’d find at say The Flex, Survival, Abolition etc but the whole punching anyone intentionally for those not wanting to be involved isn’t exactly a positive environment.
POSI ALL AGE ALL RACE ALL GENDER ALL SEXUALITY ALL EVERYTHING MOSHING.
