Well thats not very hardcore of them at all. If i saw a banana moshing or crowd surfing id be stoked
I sincerely hope their next concert is filled with fans in banana costumes.
Right? All the hardcore people I know are pretty chill and don't take themselves to seriusly. When you start to act like you're "sooo trve" you're doing something wrong.
Maybe it's a Nazi Hardcore Gig, then I can absolutely imagine that this might happen, otherwise I agree, hardcore people are usually pretty chill, moshpits usually help anyone that fell etc.
In my experience, there are definitely some overlap in the people that show up for hardcore shows. Not saying that fans of hardcore tend to be nazis, more than nazis tend to show up at said shows.
I'm reminded of that "Yoshi's in the pit" clip from a few years ago of an Australian band's live performance where a dude dressed as Yoshi led a mosh pit and the singer was excited that was happening.

LOL Yoshi standing as a hoard revolves around them and then they join to run in circles... Sweet.
What's going on with the crowd delivering people to the yellow vests?
Too much Toxic Waltz, maybe?
This type of music is the opposite of what I would consider enjoyable. People are weird.
People are weird. We like what we like, and no one can really understand why some people's brains gravitate towards some things other brains are repelled by.
I'm sure I have some music tastes you and others in this thread would consider weird or off-putting (Peaches, the Canadian producer, comes to mind immediately for her overtly sexual songs and themes).
It's not for everyone. Personally I didn't have any interest in hardcore until I went to a concert for one. Especially nowadays, it's one of the few genres that get people moving regardless of venue. It has the energy that so many live concerts heavily lack.
I now want a banana for scale at every metal show I go to (as long as I’m not standing behind him)
