Harcore vocalist on a litteral stage calling somebody out for wanting to be the center of attention and suggesting they should conform is some olympian level bullshit.
The desire for nonconformity is evidently limited to the institutes this band disapproves of.
They ain’t hardcore. Fuckin poser losers.
Hardcore has always had a shitty culture. Stop throwing elbows in my pit.
No.
I would like to point out that Banana people are always welcome at Primus concerts. Les Claypool knows how to have fun.
Primus sucks!
Damn I’m going to see Primus in 2 days and now wish I had time to get a banana suit.
Aww man it was end it? I’ve really liked their songs and their videos lead me to beleive they had a good sense of humour
Most musical genres have some level of gatekeeping, but hardcore is one of the worst.
Banana suit joke got old in 2010 or so. It’s annoying and the people wearing them are usually annoying.
Doesn’t mean you have to be a prick about it
Maybe they should stick to Taylor Swift covers if they’re so afraid of anything different
If I was a singer of a band and people showed up in costumes. I would get them on stage, celebrate their whimsy, and encourage more fans to show up in costumes.
A most pit with a bunch of people in costumes, that sounds like fun.
Hardcore bands and shows and fans are the fucking worst.
“Banana guy, come to the front. Fk are you doing, my n*a?”
I don’t understand why young white people feel ok saying this word. (Apologies if I’m wrong, I get the sense from the bit I skimmed that it’s probably a white band. I see bodycam vids with white kids saying this all the time. Why?)
Black guy singer. The video is linked in a couple comments now.
Understood. Thanks for pointing that out.

I dont understand why youre ok with some demographic using something and others not, its a weird and divisive take.
Youre obviously ok with it in this instance, but youre still burning calories getting worked up about a scenario that isnt here.
Googling the singers or bands name would have been so much easier for you than writing your comment that just looks malplaced.
My comment remains true even though others pointed out that I was wrong to assume the singer is white. Why do white kids think it’s ok to use that word? I didn’t burn calories. You wasted time, not me.
What’s really crazy is that the picture in the thumbnail is clearly outside with a plain banana suit, but the article shows a video of a sparkly banana at an inside gig, indicating that this isn’t an isolated incident of banana flavoured xenophobia.
BTW, hi.
hi?
Neat.
Banana is the new Trans.
Well thats not very hardcore of them at all. If i saw a banana moshing or crowd surfing id be stoked
I sincerely hope their next concert is filled with fans in banana costumes.
Right? All the hardcore people I know are pretty chill and don’t take themselves to seriusly. When you start to act like you’re “sooo trve” you’re doing something wrong.
Maybe it’s a Nazi Hardcore Gig, then I can absolutely imagine that this might happen, otherwise I agree, hardcore people are usually pretty chill, moshpits usually help anyone that fell etc.
In my experience, there are definitely some overlap in the people that show up for hardcore shows. Not saying that fans of hardcore tend to be nazis, more than nazis tend to show up at said shows.
I’m reminded of that “Yoshi’s in the pit” clip from a few years ago of an Australian band’s live performance where a dude dressed as Yoshi led a mosh pit and the singer was excited that was happening.
LOL Yoshi standing as a hoard revolves around them and then they join to run in circles… Sweet.
What’s going on with the crowd delivering people to the yellow vests?
Too much Toxic Waltz, maybe?
This type of music is the opposite of what I would consider enjoyable. People are weird.
It’s not for everyone. Personally I didn’t have any interest in hardcore until I went to a concert for one. Especially nowadays, it’s one of the few genres that get people moving regardless of venue. It has the energy that so many live concerts heavily lack.
People are weird. We like what we like, and no one can really understand why some people’s brains gravitate towards some things other brains are repelled by.
I’m sure I have some music tastes you and others in this thread would consider weird or off-putting (Peaches, the Canadian producer, comes to mind immediately for her overtly sexual songs and themes).
I now want a banana for scale at every metal show I go to (as long as I’m not standing behind him)
Nazi punks, fuck off!
This band it appears is anti israel, loudly so. I feel that although this incident was bullshit and they should’ve left the banana weirdo alone, the fallout was amplified by Israel because the band criticizes them.
To be clear, Israelis are the Nazis.
Do you honestly think Israel gives a shit about a random hardcore band from Baltimore? Lol
No it was amplified cause these guys continue the idea of bullshit culture that you can treat people like shit cause of how they dress.

You dont realize how your words are nonsense cause you are to used to hearing yourself.
While I agree, and don’t like the band or their music. The fact of the matter is, they are outspoken against Israel and that’s a good share if not the reason they are being cancelled so hard.
Get fucking real.
Plenty of racist asshats are opposed to Israel and also virulent anti Semites who assume that anything a Jewish person does is evil.
I don’t agree with your presupposition that “opposed to Israel” implies “admirable” or “worthy of protection”.
I don’t give a fuck what their opinion of Israel is, this shit is not fucking cool and this video alone will make sure I never ever see this band ever

I agree with you that it is possible that this story is being sensationalized because the band is anti Israel. It just seems like it could have been a low key stupid incident that a few people on you tube might watch. The truth is 99% of our media is owned by hardcore Zionists and they can choose what to sensationalize and promote. Thanks for pointing out this possibility I will look into it. I’m adhd so I often see connections before others too.
And for the record I am just saying we should recognize their influence, even if we think these guys deserve to be cancelled.
No, you get real. Let people tell you why they are upset at someone and believe it.
They showed who they were. Can something else be true sure but tin foil hat conspiracy after a group abuses one of their fans won’t get confirmed as true just cause you want it. We are letting you know why we are upset with then and you keep interrupting with your idea why we are upset. Its messed up and ignores others.

You are the person here with an agenda. You are the person who can’t be trusted to actually care about others.

Nah. They did a super d bag thing all on their own. Israel wouldn’t have had to help with this one. You don’t get to be a next to no name band and tell a crowd to kill a guy and strip him of his clothes without getting abandoned by anyone with a reputation. Not since the 90’s, anyhow.
Band got dropped from their tour. They also have taken down their FB page if I remember.
Their behaviour was shitty and they deserve having lost their place on that tour.
Also they were supposed to tour Europe on the bill with Hatebreed until Jamey Jasta heard about this.
Make breed, not hate.
Banana bread. Mmmm.
Oh yeah, The End, is so over.
Wait, the band singled out some dude in the crowd of Canadians for wearing a costume as wanting attention? The same band on an elevated stage being very loud and under spotlights? Did they feel threatened that they weren’t the complete center of attention anymore?
Thank you for the comments letting me know the band was dropped from their tour. Live music is amazing and dying at the same time. It doesn’t need wankers like these acts killing it faster.
The massive irony of a punk band calling someone out for not fitting in is undergoing gravitational collapse.
