Scene Kids

So I've decided to make a list of the people that you will see at any typical hardcore/metalcore (to be fair because there is hxc dancing at metalcore shows too) shows.

TOUGH GUY- These are the guys who go to shows just to kill shit. They are usually pretty buff, Straight Edge, sometimes vegan and pretty pissed off at the world. They come into the show quiet but when the music starts they rip everything apart. Usually they wear basketball shorts and 59 Fifty Ball caps with some band t-shit and or band hoodie and in some cases a bandanna is worn over the face, though attire may very depending on area of person.

DANCER- This kid just wants to mosh and not start trouble, they're in, out, and on the go. Sometimes they party outside the venue. No real ideology like the straight edge kid because a lot of these kids smoke and just don't give a fuck about anything. Sometimes a stoner, while sober will be a dancer, but he's only looking to score after the show with some other scenester friends of his.

SCREAMO FAN- This is the kid who lives for the scene yet knows nothing about hardcore, he just likes it because he can go to shows and trade dress up techniques with all the sluts there. Sometimes he is confused with an EMO kid and may take some shit for it. They have been known to attempt to dance and may even 2-step a little but their hair that is greased over their face keeps getting in their eyes. In most cases these scenesters will be wearing tight jeans from their sisters closet and a shirt way too small, but it's ok because most times they weigh about 60 pounds at the most.

EMO- The one person that belongs at no hardcore show only because he is either beaten senseless or ends up in a hospital after the show. Makeup and black nail polish is usually worn along with some t-shit of some wrist cutting queer band who cries about how they hate life. They also wear the tight clothes that the screamo fan may wear except a size shorter and with some wrist bands to cover their scars. Losers go home before you get killed, PLEASE!

SCUMBAG- These are the Punks that come to every hardcore show that always without a doubt get the crap kicked out of them. They don't know how to dance, they don't know about the music, they don't bath, they don't know how to dress, and they always get jumped either during or after the show. Scumbags hate emo kids yet their music is very complaining as well, mostly about politics because they think ultra liberal thinking and anarchy will solve the worlds problems, but there are some who just don't give a fuck and want to be different. Please stay home scumbag! Venue owners are tired of cleaning up your blood on their floors!

THE BLACK SHIRTS- These are the few metal heads who come to hardcore shows and throw up their devil horns: \m/ (*_*) \m/ and do hair whips to the music. Most often respected by the hardcore crowd due to their large girth in most cases, they will however be the victim of at least some sort of attack by an over zealous hardcore kid just looking to be an asshole.

JETHRO- This is the one random black guy at every Hardcore show

TIMMY- This is the one random crippled dude at a show who does crazy dance moves... or are they just convulsions?

JR.- This is the one random little kid who got into the show and plays with the big boys. Usually someone picks him up in the pit by the legs and throws him into the air while he swings his arms or they use him as a human battering ram to run into people. This is one tough kid. Always turns out to be a future tough guy or the lead singer in a sick band.

SLUTS- The girls who come to shows who have no reason being there. Most times they fit under the categories of SCREAMO FAN or EMO KID but there are some who are down for the core. Most times they are just trying to get in the pants of some band member. THEY ALWAYS WEAR MAKEUP LIKE A WHORE AND DRESS THE PART. Sometimes they are injured due to the fact that they are frail in stature and the full force of a hit from the pit can send them out bleeding or worse.

ASSHOLES- These are the guys that either hurt people on purpose or run into the people standing on the outside of the pit. They all need a good beating and I've had may fair share of ass-kickings that I've dished out to these dumb fucks. Hardcore is about respect and brotherhood not fighting within the ranks and doing stupid shit. FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!

SOMBRAROCORE- The growing number of Mexican kids (Especially on the west coast) who are joining the ranks of the hardcore lifestyle.

As I recall more people I will add them to this list
