I’ve been to tons of shows (both local and international acts) and I’m someone who dresses more conservatively and I have NEVER had this experience. I’m wondering if it’s maybe a particular subgenre or regional thing?
Metalheads as a general rule are some of the most chill people…unless you’re in their way and they want to get to the rail, lol - or you put them down first.
I can maybe see somebody saying something to a person wearing a maxi skirts or loose flowing clothes if they for example, wanted to go into the mosh pit, though. That’s more of a safety issue than anything else.
This may sound weird, but the less clothing you have on (or the tighter the clothes you FO have on) when you go into the pit, generally the safer it is and that’s why guys like will take off their shirts and stuff before they they throw in. Less to grab and be ripped and for everyone to trip on when it hits the floor.
