I went and saw a Korn concert recently as I got free tickets from my Uncle, and I used to listen to them back in Middleschool/Highschool and thought why the hell not.
Went with a friend and when we arrived we immediately got into the middle of the crowd during the first performance. Small and large goth fats all over the place, both sexes(I think). Some of them even tried to "slip" through the crowd for a better spot(as if it were fucking possible). Anyway, I stopped paying them attention and got into the music as best I could and just let the energy of the crowd lead the way.
Two bands down and Korn is up next. Crowd was already rowdy as hell during the second performance and I managed to make my way almost all the way to the front of the crowd(there were only two people in front of me to the railing). To my surprise there were a handful of fats that had either somehow miraculously made their way to the front or had gotten there early and decided they were going to stay till the end. The problem was the crowd was rowdy as hell and Korn had decided to play almost their entire first album instead of any of their new stuff. Their first album, for anyone who doesn't know, is pretty damn crazy and apparently the crowd had known this was coming so it was a bunch of people ready to just go crazy.
The show starts and a huge mosh pit forms. The crowd is swaying too and fro because of the pressure from the crowd of people going nuts behind us. This wouldn't really be an issue, as all you have to do is have good footing and brace yourself against one or two other people, but remember there are fats in the crowd. For starters I was near one and they sweat and smell even worse than the average person who was been in the crowd for 2-3 hours. However, after the crowd has been going nuts for that long the fatties apparently reach a breaking point. You could see the desperation and acceptance of their fate in their eyes. As things kept getting more and more intense the fatties start to fall during a push one way or the other causing large gaps of pressure. Basically a bunch of people starting falling because the blubber beasts couldn't hold themselves up anymore when the crowd surged one way or the other. I looked at the nearest one to me, she/he looked ready to pass out, and I just yelled if you can't handle it get the hell out of here.
Thankfully, after what seemed like forever, they slowly got elbowed and push out of the front and those of us physically able to meet the demands of the crowd enjoyed the fuck out of the rest of the concert.
That is my rant. People who aren't physically fit enough to be apart of something like that should stay the fuck out so that those of us who want to get rowdy aren't endangered by their weak and flabby bodies.

Fatties are the worst at concerts. They smell and take up so much space. Like you said, its understandable to be sweaty and smell a little after being shoulder to shoulder with people and moshing for 2-3 hours, but they smell fucking putrid. I go to a lot of death metal shows (usually smaller venues) and the general crowd at metal shows are awesome. But the worst, for me, is in the pit, because the fatties straight up suck in there. They don't understand it at all. Yes, it is fucking chaotic in there, but you still show respect for your fellow metalheads. They can't usually keep up with the tempo of everyone else going nuts, messing up the flow of the pit. And then what pisses me off the most, they like to go after me since I look like an easy target, being a girl. Obviously some 250+lb fat fuck is going to knock me down, regardless of how strong I am. Yes, I realize I am going to get knocked down in the pit, and get hit in the face, whatever. It happens. But don't fucking pick me out because I look easy to knock down. Fucking makes me so mad. /rant

Yea, I suppose they pick on the small girls because its almost literally the only thing they can do to feel good about themselves.

I'm not even a small girl, I'm 5'10. But they still try pick on me anyway.

Fats ruin everything. There has never been an instance in which being a fat fuck made life better.
I'm sorry you had to smell and bump against their greasy, squishy bodies.

I've actually seen more people get crushed by the front railing than in the actual pit (just my personal observations, not saying in general).
[–] turnonce 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
There's nothing grosser than being in the pit and having a fat person behind you because as all the shoving goes on, you literally get absorbed by their fat. Their sweaty, sweaty fat.
As a 5'2 lady, I fear of getting stuck in there.

Oh god. I fucking hate fats at concerts. 90% of the time, I don't encounter them, because I listen to a few different kinds of metal and avoid chick bands. I was at a rock concert, and this fucking lardass a couple rows ahead of me decides to plop down on the floor and stay there until the headliner comes out. So I'm patiently waiting for my favorite band, meanwhile that porker is rolling forward and back to what it thought was the rhythm of the music. It was taking up enough space for three humans to comfortably stand, and it was just rolling forward and back like an idiot. Possibly the most entitled piece of shit I've ever seen at a concert. Fortunately, I don't have more stories about nasties at concerts. I don't plan to go to any more rock concerts, though. I'm good with my metal, where the biggest thing you'll find is a smallfat. It'd be nice if everyone was fit, but y'know, murica.

Went to a electro pop concert a long time ago. Small concert went with a couple of tiny girls 5'2 height. So they wanted to enjoy the concert without getting smashed. Hard to get when you are so short. We were up front and this fat bitch came barging into us smashing my tiny girls. So i squeezed between fatty and tiny and held my ground while she tried to shove me aside. This piss her off so much that near the end of the show she poured her beer down my pant leg when she took off. She was gone before i realized what that fat pompous cow did.

Who does this? It's like they've never aged past 14.

I swear every fat's brain degenerates from all the sugar and causes them to act like fucking children.

I just saw Cattle Decapitation recently with my boyfriend, brother, sister in law and brother's friend, and none of us went home without an injury, because these fat fucks had nothing better to do than to fuck people up and ruin the show for everybody. They are the worst, especially when they're drunk and moshing.
[–] madam_psycho_sexy 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
upgoated for Cattle Decapitation \m/ But seriously, drunk fatasses + mosh pit = bad time
[–] thenotorioussdc 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
They're so good live. The opening bands were pretty good too.
I'm seeing Ghost on Halloween in Vegas and I'm getting anxious just thinking about it. I don't know why I keep doing this to myself when I swear every show will be my last, lol.
