I hate pits in England.
Every gig I go to now they're all just full of hardcore kids flailing their arms like retards.
I think I hate pits in general anyway... cept circle pits, they're alright as long as you don't lose your good place :D.
I'll never forget The Sounds of The Underground. Half metal halfmetalcore/hardcore/IUNNO. Whenever a metal band would come on, it was so much fun, the whole crowd into it, pit or not you know? Then some emo shit would come on, and everyone just stands really still and watches the circle of kids flailing their arms about. I talked to this guy about it, and he is like Oh push pits? those are so lame. And im just like, " its just called moshing. it was first, you cant rename it, and its a lot more brutal than your pseudo karate"
But he argued that it was a lot of aggressive to violently kick and punch and shit. I agreed, it WOULD be more brutal, if you weren't just kicking and punching the air. At least in normal moshs, all you have to do is push and tear and whether or not you're in the center of the pit, you usually will come out with at least one small injury.
And plus, the whole flailing limbs about shit, even if you did hit people, then its just such an asshole thing to do. And it looks like you're trying to pick imaginary carrots sometimes. Iunno.
And I just got so agitated with him. it wasn't about LOOKING TUFF IN DA PIT WITH MUH MEAN MOVES. it was just about feeling the aggression and moshing >:(
I personally love pits. What I DONT enjoy but find myself in a lot since i try to be right on the gates, is getting so smothered from the pit and the thousands of people behind you, that you physically cant move anymore and you can feel your ribs being squished to its utter limit.
I rather be in the pit after a few moments of that.
