Crowd Killing "It's just hardcore" No there's a difference.

This topic has been discussed a lot lately in various expressions of bias opinions, and after all that's what it is, an opinion. There is no real answer to what's right or wrong about Crowd Killing as either way it seems to offend people but I do think it's ok to have a strong opinion about these things.

If your argument for Crowd Killing is that it's a part of the Hardcore movement and scene then you probably know nothing. Crowd killing is a term used when moshers and HxC dancers act upon performing it onto the crowd rather than in the pit provided along with similar people. 

There are a lot of unwritten rules and expectations at gigs, as the pit seems to withhold a lot of interchangeable ones.

People usually complain about getting hurt at gigs when they didn't want to, this is due to them standing on the outskirts of the pit or being in them. Some have no reason at all apart from the fact that some overly excited fan decided to target them and essential Crowd Kill them.

I don't have anything against them as I have not yet experienced such controversy, however I do have strong feelings against it. You can enjoy yourself at a gig within the right boundaries, within the large space provided for you to mosh and dance all you want, but when you deliberately get over excited and start to target less involved fans standing well away from the pit then you really are pathetic. Why should they have to get hurt and not feel safe due to you being over the top and going out of your way to hurt someone. We get that not everyone is as 'hard' and 'edge' as you and some people just want to stand and enjoy the band from a safe spot where they will not be injured, so why can't you respect that? They have respected you by giving you that space and stepping away from it, so just be a decent person and allow that.

I've seen a lot of comments and reviews about this and they have all negatively labeled Crowd Killers with horrible names, which I find unfair. Yes they may deserve it and you may have a good reason to but publicly posting these nasty things isn't going to make you a superior to them. It honestly just gives the Hardcore seen a bad and negative stereotype which isn't really helped by all the shit that goes on.
It's really unprofessional, but I'm not condoning it, just disagreeing with a non bias view.

A lot of people have gotten confused with HxC dancing and Crowd Killing, but please note that there is a large difference between the two. Never mix them up as though they do follow similar paths and styles, one is done for pleasure and connection with the music while the other gets a little out of hand.

Now I'm not saying that I know everything about this topic because I don't and I'm not trying to resolve it, I'm just expressing my own personal opinion on it without trying to sound offensive to others.

All I'm saying is that you should be more considerate to others at the gig and not just you because I've heard a lot of: "We'll if they're at a gig they should know they're going to get hurt" and "Well what did you expect you went to see a hardcore band!" Because it's frankly bullshit. I've seen many hardcore bands and enjoyed their set without even getting touched, even joining in at points and I was fine, because no Crowd Killers were present. But hey if you are seeing Desolated then there probably are a few new expectations to know, that you 99% will find Crowd Killers and are very likely to get approached by one.

Aside from this, you will always get annoying people at gigs whether it being gig couples, fan girls, or crowd killers, there isn't really going to be a stop to this so I don't see the point in causing such feuds. If you don't like something then move away or leave, if it is persistent then you have every right to say whatever the fuck you want, after all we've all had different experiences so you really can't judge.
All i'm saying is, if you want to go wild then do it in your open space, don't bring it to others who you know don't want to get involved. Just have some respect for the people around you, after all you are all there for one reason.
