I'm reminded of that "Yoshi's in the pit" clip from a few years ago of an Australian band's live performance where a dude dressed as Yoshi led a mosh pit and the singer was excited that was happening.

    LOL Yoshi standing as a hoard revolves around them and then they join to run in circles... Sweet.

    This type of music is the opposite of what I would consider enjoyable. People are weird.

    People are weird. We like what we like, and no one can really understand why some people's brains gravitate towards some things other brains are repelled by.

    I'm sure I have some music tastes you and others in this thread would consider weird or off-putting (Peaches, the Canadian producer, comes to mind immediately for her overtly sexual songs and themes).

    It's not for everyone. Personally I didn't have any interest in hardcore until I went to a concert for one. Especially nowadays, it's one of the few genres that get people moving regardless of venue. It has the energy that so many live concerts heavily lack.
