I know this is an unpopular opinion in the live music community but you are an inexcusable dick if you dive into a crowd, full stop. No one at the front wants to catch your 200lb ass. Seeing a band member do that immature shit (and paralyzing a fan in the process) is a good way to make sure I never listen to them either
I had a fan trip over her own feet and land on top of my head at a punk show over a decade ago. Folded me in half backwards. Pinched my sciatic and messed my lower back up really bad. 10+ years of pain, and I definitely got lucky that I didn’t end up worse off…
It’s a punk show, pp boy.
Loud music and a reason to squeeze yourself into your way-too-tight leather vest from highschool isn’t an excuse to turn yourself into a human wreck ball. The pit is usually a few rows back for a reason.
So would you have been willing to sit front row at a GG Allin show?
