Amongst the Deceased

I would always rather be at a concert, no matter how good or bad, than sitting at home listening to music. I have to say though, this almost didn’t hold true at the concert on January 14^th. And for once, this actually had nothing to do with the bands, which, for the most part, were quite impressive. The crowd at this concert, however, was so off-putting I nearly walked out.

A small crowd of 40 or 50 hardcore kids, mostly around 15 years of age, the audience seemed to spend the entire show alternating between bored out of their minds and psychopathically violent, with a girl having to leave early with a fractured leg after being kicked.

This poor crowd etiquette was unfortunate not only because of the injuries caused to many, but the audience ruined what would have otherwise been a perfectly good show.
