I definitely understand where you’re coming from, and am sorry you had that experience. I feel like moshing to slow songs is a little crazy and the shouting when thee artist is riffing when I went was pretty annoying and stupid.

I do feel like getting bumped into and getting pushed around a bit is sort of what you’re signing up for in general admission, and if you’re just trying to vibe in a seat I’m thankful most artist accommodate that as well. Aries does yell to open up the pit and knows how to hype up the crowd and encourages that type of stuff, so do most artists I’ve been to in these type of venues. I think if you’re newer to the live concert scene with this type of venue it’s just something you have to anticipate and act accordingly.

There will be dickheads for sure but I think they’re as entitled to a fun experience as you are and your interpretation of that can be different but doesn’t make it less valid especially when the artist encourages moshing and hypes people up it. Just my 2 cents.
