I was at a Melvins/Jello and the Melvins show back in the day and there was a giant dude in a denim jacket that had a huge confederate flag backpatch, he was wasted already but kept pulling tallboy cans out of his jacket, I'm not sure how many pockets he had on inside of that thing but it was wild, like a clown car. Anyway he was standing in the back with like the soundguy and the olds who just wanted to stand there and watch the openers with their arms crossed and like a pregnant lady and just kept wanting to get rowdy and start a pit, in the back of the venue. He kept getting beers out and drinking half of them then throwing the half-filled can into the crowd and would push people from behind to try and get a pit going. Eventually some little skinhead guy (he was picking a fight with Mr. Confederate so hopefully he was a SHARP and not just a neonazi) came up telling him to loving cut it out. The skin was like a full head shorter than Lynyrd Shythyd, probably more than 12" difference between them. The confederate guy just scoffed and made a sort of mocking "putting my dukes up" gesture. The skin just like hopped up and hit him once in the jaw and, my dudes, the big guy came down hard. Landed on his face, didn't even put his hands out to break his fall or anything. Eventually some people working the show managed to scrape him up off the floor and bring a mop to clean up the blood pouring out of his severely busted nose like this poo poo.

I understand that, but I just don't get the appeal. But as oldpainless said, to each their own (in this case).

Used to be in pits a lot, and the appeal is the physicality. It's basically dancing, except metal, you know. Always left the pit sweaty and with some bruises. Stopped doing it though because the risk of twisting your ankle or something is too great, even if the people are good, and sometimes they're not good... And I guess I just got old.

Gonna guess the AR in SHARP is for "anti-racist". So I'd say maybe a Skin Head Anti-racist Punk?

In America, blaming everything on capitalism will get you closer to the truth than blaming everything on communism. But that might actually be true of blaming Mesopotamia.

There used to be a group called the South Chicago Anti-racist Skins (SCARS). Not sure if they're still around. You meet a lot of interesting people when you live in a punk squat for years.

Yeah 18 year old me was concerned when I was going to local shows and skinheads were showing up. Finally ended up talking to some of them and they're like "yeah we're not racists we just like punk rock". Pretty cool people all around.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

This is amazing work. As a student of history I can say that I’ve seen hundreds of gifs like this, and have shown little to no emotion. The gifs were just windows to a past I’ve never lived in, people who I never knew or would ever know. But this gif made me stop and evaluate. Putting Storm Troopers in made me actually look at what is really happening. Putting something that everyone is familiar with in a situation that no one knows, and to make people feel those emotions well, that takes amazing talent. Thank you.
