i do not go to hardcore shows. gallows was awesome but the meatheads were not. one of their opening bands out of long island was really awful. like really bad. not only were they the goofiest looking band i've seen in a long time (like think mxpx's bassist x 4) and their lead singer came out like minutes after the music as if he was freddy mercury reincarnate.
they did provide one good moment though when one of their guitarists suggested for the crowd to, well, surf and someone in the back yelled out 'no!'. genius. then the same guitarist went on to talk about how hardcore kids can't relate to the world so they go to shows to relate...
and so i went downstairs because i couldn't deal with the wack-osity going on. jockcore is hell. jockcore is shit.
luv,

i can't tell what my least favorite audience would be, but the drunk jersey alpha males who populate the maxwells shows in hoboken surely rank up there and sound like what you are describing.
