It's lame **** on its own, but when it becomes an exercise in mob mentality your rationality gets sidelined and you stop thinking about how lame it might be. Then it's just fun.

I'd rather not be part of a lame mob. That'd kill all the violence I associate with mobs and that's no fun.

Mobs are only lame from the outside. ICP are masters at creating mindless mobs and an ICP concert is basically the purest form of their craft. The crowd whips itself into a frenzy before the show with gang shouts (gang as in a group, not a criminal organization obviously) so that by the time ICP actually take the stage we're already a lit keg, and then it's just pandemonium. My first ICP concert was easily the best show I've ever been to.

I have standards on the mob mentalities I graft onto.

Standards are good for artificially walling yourself off from potentially fun experiences.

Sounds like a win for me if that means not going to an icp show.

The Batlord · 11-05-2016, 10:37 AM

If it keeps the hipsters away then wins all around.

Agreed.

Every thread I've gone in today, there's some form of Frownland - Batlord hate. Stop taking my job, Bat.
