WhiteChapel show.

Saturday night was possibly the craziest night i have ever lived through. My night consisted of going and seeing the band White Chapel. This was the first time that this band has played here in Springfield. And it probably won't be the last. But this was for sure the most ridiculous show that i have been to in a long time.

During this bands set there were 3 fights that i saw. This is an example of how this music makes people react to the actions of others. For example, you are not likely to see a fight at a Gospel concert, but if you do there are definitely some problems. But in the case of this music, any show you go to there is the possibility of at least one fight.

The fights were over the same thing. Someone got hit while trying to get into what is called a "dance pit." A dance pit is the section of an audience where if you know how to hardcore dance, you go there. But alot of people don't realize that you cannot walk through that section. Some people tried, got hit by someone dancing, got angry at the fact that they got hit, started a fight, and ended up getting kicked out.

But that was not the end. After the show, the fights went outside. One fight outside i saw was between a really big guy with dreads, and a really small guy who looked like an ant compared to the other person. It ended after a short burst of fists that led people to split it up.

Seconds later a 16 year old came up and told us all about how he had just been hit in the face by some guy who he had never seen before. This is something that i found insane. The fact that this type of music led these people to act out in the most premitive way, and lose track of who they really are. They resorted to acting like cavemen fighting for their food.
