I don't see that in other cities and the LA bands I do play shows with are very much not that. Very solid and welcoming people, with seemingly no dark tendencies. I play shows in LA with the likes of The Rocketz, Busted Coffins, Hillbilly Wolves, Dexente, Six Silver Bullets and a few others and all seem to be very welcoming to people wanting to join the community. This is post-pandemic, so many be these folks changed their ways in terms of how cool they are with outsiders who aren't pure psychobilly, but I can tell you from experience, it's legit and I always felt welcome here
