{show etiquette}                                            how to act at hardcore shows:

dress:
make sure you wear your favorite hardcore band shirt or sweatshirt (must be very tight)

X's on your hands even if you don't know what it symbolizes

tight jeans

adidas sambas or vans

slick your moptop to the side or rock your fohawk

eye makeup and lipring (optional)

bandana if planning to go in the pit

act:
when waiting outside the show, talk to your friends and complain about all the poser kids there who are killing the scene

when the first band plays.  stand with your hands in your pockets or with your arms folded and show little interetest

between bands, look at the merch table but don't buy anything yet. you don't want to be holding a t-shirt or mesh hat in the pit now, do you?

before going in the pit, put on your bandana, wrestling mask, or sweatshirt hood. also wear your wrist tape because your hands are delicate.

dance:

some acceptable dance moves are:

the windmill

the floorpunch

the stagedive

the claw

the scissorkick

the sledghammer

the spinning ball of death

crowdsurfing

fistpumping

the reverse windmill

the gorilla (similar to the reverse windmill)

the roundhouse

the jerkoff

and the elbow

note: it is very important that you DO NOT MOSH. moshing is for punks, you are not a punk. anymore.
