I was at show last night for a couple pretty big touring bands and with local support. Like so many other shows I have seen in recent years, the bands are begging people to come up front and crowd into the stage. And like some many other times before it fails to work. It is obvious why. If you go stand in the front, there is pretty likely that you are going to be crowd killed and hit in the back and the head. So nobody does, or like last night, a few people do, they get clocked and everyone learns the lesson and we are stuck with the horseshoe.

I am an older member of the scene and this is not another back in my day rant. I came into the scene before the era of ninja kicks and have been in ever since. I am not saying we need to stop moshing and and crowd kill, but we need a better system for it to continue. So here is my proposal.

People can stand in the front by the stage, for pile-ons, mic grabs, stage dives etc. and we make it super uncool to hit people in the back or back of the head. You can mosh and spin kick all you like, but you got stay further back and you cannot hit people whose back is to you.

For this to work and eventually become the norm, it needs to be policed by the scene itself. Bands should encourage people to come up the the front and shame the people who crowd kill them in the back. Those of us at the show need to intervene if people are hitting people in the back in same way we intervene if people are retaliating or targeting smaller people. The scene is the bands and fans and we need to work together on this.

I am not trying to shame people for moshing hard or even trying to stop them. I am just trying to find a constructive solution where we people can mosh and people can mic grab and stage dive.

TLDR: Put the moshers in the back and make it uncool to hit people by the stage in the back

stuff like GEL, SPY, MASK (S/T EP) Cell Rot (Parasite), LAB RAT
