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 sincerely hope their next concert is filled with fans in banana costumes.
I now want a banana for scale at every metal show I go to (as long as I’m not standing behind him)
Nazi punks, fuck off!
This band it appears is anti israel, loudly so. I feel that although this incident was bullshit and they should’ve left the banana weirdo alone, the fallout was amplified by Israel because the band criticizes them.
To be clear, Israelis are the Nazis.
No it was amplified cause these guys continue the idea of bullshit culture that you can treat people like shit cause of how they dress.

You dont realize how your words are nonsense cause you are to used to hearing yourself.
While I agree, and don’t like the band or their music. The fact of the matter is, they are outspoken against Israel and that’s a good share if not the reason they are being cancelled so hard.
Get fucking real.
I don’t give a fuck what their opinion of Israel is, this shit is not fucking cool and this video alone will make sure I never ever see this band ever

I agree with you that it is possible that this story is being sensationalized because the band is anti Israel. It just seems like it could have been a low key stupid incident that a few people on you tube might watch. The truth is 99% of our media is owned by hardcore Zionists and they can choose what to sensationalize and promote. Thanks for pointing out this possibility I will look into it. I’m adhd so I often see connections before others too.
And for the record I am just saying we should recognize their influence, even if we think these guys deserve to be cancelled.
No, you get real. Let people tell you why they are upset at someone and believe it.
They showed who they were. Can something else be true sure but tin foil hat conspiracy after a group abuses one of their fans won’t get confirmed as true just cause you want it. We are letting you know why we are upset with then and you keep interrupting with your idea why we are upset. Its messed up and ignores others.

You are the person here with an agenda. You are the person who can’t be trusted to actually care about others.

Plenty of racist asshats are opposed to Israel and also virulent anti Semites who assume that anything a Jewish person does is evil.
I don’t agree with your presupposition that “opposed to Israel” implies “admirable” or “worthy of protection”.
Nah. They did a super d bag thing all on their own. Israel wouldn’t have had to help with this one. You don’t get to be a next to no name band and tell a crowd to kill a guy and strip him of his clothes without getting abandoned by anyone with a reputation. Not since the 90’s, anyhow.
Do you honestly think Israel gives a shit about a random hardcore band from Baltimore? Lol
Band got dropped from their tour. They also have taken down their FB page if I remember.
Their behaviour was shitty and they deserve having lost their place on that tour.
Also they were supposed to tour Europe on the bill with Hatebreed until Jamey Jasta heard about this.
Make breed, not hate.
Banana bread. Mmmm.
Oh yeah, The End, is so over.
Wait, the band singled out some dude in the crowd of Canadians for wearing a costume as wanting attention? The same band on an elevated stage being very loud and under spotlights? Did they feel threatened that they weren’t the complete center of attention anymore?
Thank you for the comments letting me know the band was dropped from their tour. Live music is amazing and dying at the same time. It doesn’t need wankers like these acts killing it faster.
The massive irony of a punk band calling someone out for not fitting in is undergoing gravitational collapse.
What a shitty band, I’m glad they’ve been kicked out of the punk scene.
While End It has not responded to the public callout, they have quietly gone missing from a few corners of the internet. Their Facebook page has allegedly been taken down, and they no longer appear on the posters and social media posts for Hatebreed and Life of Agony’s European Tour.
May they vanish
Not only are the bullies but they’re cowards as well.
Anybody who follows a “hardcore” band like that is the worst kind of little pissant fuckweed. Then again the little shit fucks at that show who beat up a guy in a banana costume in order to get a fucking set list are exactly the kind of people I would expect to follow this kind of bullshit.
Agreed!
With their act of bullyism, End It has effectively - and inadvertently - brought about their own end.
I’m glad the gentleman in the banana outfit is standing up for himself.
I’m also grateful for the comments by other Lemmies here.
Sounds like the band read the room wrong. It’s kind of weird to call out someone for wanting attention while on stage too.
The fan later took to Instagram Stories to reveal that the costume was destroyed after the End It gig, per a report from The PRP. “People have been trying to dim my sparkle my entire life. It sucks, but I’m used to it,” he wrote. “I’ve surfed hundreds of people in this suit, all genders, all ages, safely. Especially, a lot of first timers that felt safe to approach me for their first surf.”
“[End It], two of your band members crossed the line…and I’m obligated to speak on it,” the fan continued, addressing the band directly. “F**k the police? While policing what people wear?”
He added, “The message last night; Conform or get called out, exactly the opposite of what hardcore is supposed to be. I was an unwilling participant, attacked and clothing removed at the direction of a band I paid to see.”
Then, the End It frontman offered the setlist to anyone willing to successfully “strip the banana.”
Offering a reward for beating up a fan is insane. Glad they were dropped from the tour.
And a bunch of morons accepted. The hardcore scene is unfortunately filled with morons who go to shows so they can punch and kick people.
What the fuck is wrong with them that they think this was acceptable? I’m glad they’ve been dropped from their upcoming tours.
I’m especially disappointed by the fans who fucking listened and attacked the guy, too.
Frankly, the banana guy has every right to sue their asses for encouraging violence against him and destroying his property.
Reminds me of a much worse incident, a clip I saw of a Travis Scott concert, he crowdsurfed and his shoe came off iin this kid’s hand and he accused him of stealing it and tried to start a fuck him up, fuck him up! chant.
The crowd ignored scott and got the fan to safety in that case.
I’ve never heard his music but Travis Scott sounds like a piece of shit
Isn’t he the one that encouraged the fans outside the stadium to hop the fences and sneak in which lead to several people getting trampled to death?
Was that the same one where he refused to stop the show while paramedics tried to get to the trampled people? Not sure if that was him or not, it was maybe a few years ago
Edit: apparently it was, per the other commenter next to you
Travis Scott played a set in which 8 people died. To be fair, Travis Scott wasn’t the sole factor for the deaths. Management and the promoter share responsibility.

What kind of metal concert is it if there isn’t a guy in a silly costume moshing?? One of my most treasured memories is being in a moshpit and getting decked by a guy in a chicken costume, absolutely folded, only to get dragged to my feet by several others before I even realized I was on the ground. Community, people, community!!
A person in a banana suit is basically a prerequisite of any ska show. We used to have inter-punk solidarity; these guys must have not gotten the memo.
Harcore vocalist on a litteral stage calling somebody out for wanting to be the center of attention and suggesting they should conform is some olympian level bullshit.
The desire for nonconformity is evidently limited to the institutes this band disapproves of.
They ain’t hardcore. Fuckin poser losers.
Hardcore has always had a shitty culture. Stop throwing elbows in my pit.
No.
Colossal scumbags. Unfortunately, there are a lot of secret authoritarians and conformists in our midst anywhere, it’s unavoidable in any group that values a visually similar aesthetic as a way of signaling belonging, this absolutely goes for non-conformist and punk circles too whether we like it or not. Stay safe out there
“What we’ve learned by being excluded for who we are is to form a group that excludes others for not being exactly like us. This is social progress.”
I would like to point out that Banana people are always welcome at Primus concerts. Les Claypool knows how to have fun.
Primus sucks!
Damn I’m going to see Primus in 2 days and now wish I had time to get a banana suit.
I thought music was about nonconformity?
The loudest self proclaimed non-conformists are often the biggest hypocrites.
Honestly, yeah. People usually champion what they are afraid of or what their own mind is focused on.
This idea of punishing others for what they are personally thinking is one of my least favorite human quirks. Its a very self centered reality.
It’s about conforming to their particular subculture.
