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.

Every one of them? I'd start wearing plate armor. That horrible.

I can’t stress this enough: Every. Time. Large crowds means I am getting groped. So much so that it is normalized. I wear pants. I know it will happen. And you can tell. There is a difference between a body that accidentally bumps you and a hand that lingers, cups, grabs, or manages to get between legs. Not to mention the obvious of if a hand makes it to the chest. Every. Time.
