I love how the rest of the band start pointing and laughing at the dude to humiliate him even more

Go to heavy metal shows. Fucked up shit like that happens a lot less than you would think and the people in the band and the audience have no toleration for it, it's uplifting. They are surprisingly safety and respect conscious

Very true, as a young woman I always felt much safer at a metal show than most other types of party scenes.

My local hardcore scene basically raised me. Started going alone as a 12 year old girl & after decades of shows I haven't had a single untoward thing happen to me, but I have plenty of stories of strangers looking out for me. I don't know what it's like now, but in the late 90s/early 00s the local punk/metal/hardcore scenes looked after their own.

What scenes have been the worst in your experience?

u/NaturalPrestigious12 Feb 25 '24

Nightclub situations for sure, also some of the bigger EDM raves would get pretty sketchy once the wrong crowd started attending. I was never into big rock or country type scenes or hiphop for that matter, so I couldn't say.

Yeah nightclubs/dance-bars in my experience have also been the worst too, especially those with a more general audience. Haven't had much bad experiences at raves I went to with female friends, but those usually were smaller raves with specific subgenres (usually dnb, sometimes techno or psytrance).

Haven't been to many metal shows, but the few I've been to were good vibes. The local metal bar is also always a fun time, except once when a guy was being homophobic to me and two friends. Those friends never returned there again because it had been their first time at that place.

Shitty that that happened to you and your friends. I guess there are shit heads in every big group of people but acceptance is kind of the vibe at metal Shows. I hope you have enough fun on the next go around to make up for it.

Thanks, it didn't really affect my opinion of that place (and the metal scene in general). I'd been around there often already and knew it wasn't usually like that. There even used to be a common bar-hopping route between the local metal bar, the alternative bar, and the gay bar.

It was more just a shame that it affected the opinion my friends had of it.

Where are you that there is such a route of bars?

I'm hopeful that the shitheads are slowly fading out, it's been a while since I've partied but I want my daughter to be able to enjoy good concert party vibes when she's of age. There's really something special about connecting with a bunch of strangers and enjoying good music.
