what i am saying is that it is dumb that this has become such an accepted thing that people no longer have common courtesy for people who want to enjoy the show for the music. st jimmy is a prime example of this. i have said i really don't care if people mosh, as long as they're not complete dicks about it, and my experience with a mosh pit involved people who were dicks about it. so far, people are saying not to go to the front if you don't want to be around a mosh, but why is that the accepted way of things? why does the minority get priority over people who JUST want to enjoy the music (which is, IMO, the reason to go to concerts)
I understand the logic. Sometimes you just want to let loose, and certain types of music tend to attract this sort of behavior. I even understand that people are saying there is etiquette.. but how is there any degree of etiquette in expecting people to either 'put up with it or don't go to the front'? that doesn't seem like etiquette at all.
i am trying to go half-way here. not saying at all that I don't want people to mosh. i am saying that moshing right in the front, where i am, is disrespectful and ruins my experience because i have to worry about getting hit in the fucking kidneys every few seconds, and that it is dumb to expect me to either deal with it or get out of the way.
