Travis scott mosh pit madness8/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Not y’all fake moshers/stans acting like mosh pits are mini purges, total free for all, no-man’s lands When they are actually communal spaces with set rules & a shared understanding People who break those rules are taken out of the pit (& gotten their a# beat depending)- Muting/Blocking = Self Care November 6, 2021 ![]() I can still hear the “Do you want to be here?” from college years When I got older, I started pulling/blocking people out of pits to pay it forward Moshing is about letting out emotions and being one with emotions in an intense, but consensual way Anything else is assault etc - Muting/Blocking = Self Care November 6, 2021 And people of all genders, but esp huge cis men did their parts to help anyone get out who needed it- Muting/Blocking = Self Care November 6, 2021 I’ve been to concerts where the entire ground floor suddenly became a pit and no one died or got seriously injured. And people regularly protect folks who might get pulled in - Muting/Blocking = Self Care November 6, 2021 I’ll allow this Twitter thread to explain it to you in such a way that doesn’t involve the incandescent rage I’m currently feeling at the blatant stupidity exhibited by this marginally talented “artist.”Ī lot of the folks talking about “mosh pit” culture are young af & never been to metal & other hardcore concerts 1)Many concerts at a certain level have the support staff to back up the hardcore 2)Moshing is consensual. Contrary to the erroneous belief held by Travis Scott and his minions that the mosh pit was a rage-fest that was little more than an excuse to beat the s# out of each other, the reality is, there were rules in that sonofabitch. I write this to remind you that it was my generation who grew up in the throes of the mosh pit culture, and I assure you that there were rules in that sonofabitch. Our intelligence and empathy extended to the mosh pit, too. And, to be frank, those of us who made it to our age group alive and well and in one piece in the entertainment industry didn’t get to that age by being a bunch of idiots. While I’m aware that I’m comfortably in the Gen X range, I’m also aware that getting older in an industry where far too many die young and starving and alone is a privilege and not a right. Just remember I’ve been called worse by better. ![]() People are dead, you half-witted fetal alcohol cases - people who didn’t need to be dead, and people who wouldn’t be dead but for the supreme failure of the concert promoter to provide adequate necessities for a safe and enjoyable concert, and the sociopathic lack of concern on behalf of Travis Scott to leave the audience with a pleasant experience.Ĭall me whatever you want for being so blunt. I’m sure that will make you mad, and I’m also sure that I sincerely don’t have a f# left to give about that.įor those of you who think otherwise: there are no “both sides” in this matter. I’m here to tell every last one of these people one thing: you’re all idiots. Go watch a World War II documentary or the Investigation Discovery channel if you need a violent fix.Īnd we’re also seeing countless tweets - from the usual suspects, either of the dusty hotep variety who insist that this is part of some Grand Conspiracy to initiate Travis Scott into some (non-existent) Satanic Illuminati cult that, somehow, is tied to the functionally illiterate Kylie Jenner, or the fanbois and the groupies desperate to put on a white cape and mount a white steed to defend Travis Scott, a celebrity whom they don’t know personally and who wouldn’t spit on them if they were on fire - insisting that what he was doing was just part of “mosh pit culture.” Trauma p# is a genre that needs to die a slow and painful death, sooner rather than later, and no one needs to re-watch a bunch of young men and women screaming and begging for their lives. There’s no need to repost what we’ve seen countless times before. By now, we’ve all seen the horrific videos - the piles of bodies screaming for help, the frightened kids begging for the oblivious cameraman to stop the show, the ambulance lights plowing through the crowd to take away the dead and the injured. ![]() The views and opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of īy now, we’re all well aware of the nature of the Astroworld tragedy that is promising to all but fully (and rightly) cancel Travis Scott for good. ![]()
