thats a good ? ill try to answer the best i can
emo is oddly tuned guitars played in odd timings with really whiny lead singers
emo fans seem just as lame as the genra they like to get into mosh pits and do what they call pit danceing witch is basicly piting with out hitting each other then they get mad and wsnns fight when you try to pit proper
emo is supossed to stand for emotion
but all music has emotion
so i dont really get it either
Emo is sposed to stand for Emotional Hardcore isnt it....an offshoot of Hardcore, which was formed in the 80's when punks started to experiment with different music styles.
i dont have a problem with Emo-kids, most ppl i know are into Emo, including me tbh.
www.dobi.nu/emo - nice little site about emo ppl 😛
and as for the pits....well, Screamo and Post-Hardcore produce the best pits imo......pretty much thrash-pits. Windmills and Spinning kick's everywhere ^^
was at a local Emo/Post-Hardcore gig in a pub in my town recently, 1 of the better pits/gigs ive seen.
as i said, its more like thrashing....and no, theres a fine line between fighting and doing a spinning kick with no intention of hurting sum1....
i dont know about you but i dont aim for the head when im moshing, nor do i aim to make any sort of painful contact with people....shit happens, but when i go into a pit i know im going to get hit, but that doesnt mean people are trying to hit me.
accidents happen, but thats the gamble you take when u mosh/thrash, ive had more bloody noses and cuts than i can count. but i still hold no grudge, because i know no1 was intending to hurt me.
i can safely say ive never hurt any1 in a pit, and ive done my fair share of spinning kicks etc, its all expression...if i have enough space to do a kick or sumthing, ill do it.
a Fight is when someone intends to hit you or hurt you...
but hey, pretty much every pit ive been in has been like this, obviously you've had different experiences and im not going to try arguing that you're wrong, cos you're not...and im not either 😮💨
oh well im a pit dancer then lol..... theres no distinction here, u're either a mosher or u're not, theres just different styles of it.
As i said, ive never tried to hurt someone in a pit, and i hope that noone has tried to hurt me. but i prefer "pit dancing" to moshing, which imo is boring.
and i do tend to stay in 1 place for a bit, but if theres enough people you can connect moshing and 'pit dancing' and dive around, throwing urself into other people etc.. not with the intention of punching or kicking them, just hitting them with ur body while 'dancing'
and as for bringing brass knuckles and taking over pits...well thats just pathetic, and ive never done it or seen it done, newhere...
