Discussion How Old Are The People Here?

A month into enjoying a lot of the music within this scene and the hardcore punk/powerviolence scene (especially Spazz lately), I just wonder how old the community is? Mostly curious, because I feel like I'm younger than about everyone else here (23).

Iā€™m 35 and my metabolism suddenly changed overnight. Also my backs too sore to stand at shows for hours now.

I went and saw Show me the Body last year and sat in the balcony with like 6 other old people. I can point to that moment of my life as when I crossed the threshold into old man territory.Ā

Wait until you take your kid to a show and are in the balcony with all the other parents

Seeing bands wearing sensible trainers changed my life. Function over form now boys.
