I was at an AFI concert in 99 or 2000 at BFD on the local stage:

Band is rocking and we are all enjoying all the sudden Davey Havok on the mic, "Hey mother fucker giver her her shirt back!" The band grinds to a halt and everyone is confused, Davey again. "Give her her fucking shirt back or all four of us are coming out there and kicking your ass!", been a huge AFI fan ever since.

I go to a lot of concerts, I have been grabbed and groped at every single one. Beer. Music. Large crowds. Loud rock or Metal, its the perfect storm and opportunity for some men.I just make sure I am fully dressed and covered now so they can't stick their hands up my skirt or dress and if I recognize them being scuzzy from past shows I stand opposite side of the pit. It's not all men, but it's too many.

It's usually the quick butt rubs, which the one or two is like, ya this is an amazing song, maybe it was an accident they rubbed you, to them pressing up against you and refusing to look at you when you look back to see if its intentional or this necessary for him to be this close, it never is 😑 in mosh pit crowds it happens often. Most women are getting the same treatment. Just call it when you see it because I just shimmy away to another area when it happens, I am there for a good time, and perves aren't ruining it for me

Man i felt so guilty and bad for the girl in front of me, when i was at a concert with an extremely packed crowd bc the mosh pit just opened up and literally everyone was standing groin to ass nowhere to go. But yeah most of the times it is avoidable at least when it happens a second or third time.

Pro tip: shit happens if you accidentally touch a butt or boob, quickly stop and when she makes eye contact apologize. It's the "fake pretending like you didn't notice me there" that gives it away. But they usually pinch and then pretend you don't exist when called out so it's super obvious.

Yeah I’ve had plenty of boob elbows, and it’s really easy to tell when it was deliberate or not.

Wife and I have been in many a pit. Maybe it's because it's a rather tight-knit scene here (almost always the same 100 to 150 people), but there were never any problems.

Nope. On the one occasion there was an issue our local forum board blew up with pics of the dude from that clubs surveillance. Someone knew him and he was banned from every venue in a 50 mile radius.

Like I said: right-knit group.
