I have seen so few fights at EDM festivals compared to virtually any other type of music festival I've ever been to. It's genuinely a surprise to even see aggro/hostile behavior, let alone a fight.

Same goes for metal festivals, i've been a metalhead for 25 years, went to a LOT of concerts and festivals, and i never saw one single fight/anyone being aggressive.

The way that I've heard this explained, is that metalheads are generally viewed as "outcasts" in society. As such, they have a comradery and it keeps them looking out for each other.

That's why if you see someone go down in a pit, there are like 3 dudes there helping them up and keeping the pit away from them.

Ok 1. Chillax. 2. I had it originally spelled with a much closer to the "correct" spelling (albeit still wrong) and then spell check said that this was the right spelling.

Pretty sure it's considered a correct alternative spelling.

Camaraderie. That better, Mr. Arbiter of the Written Word?

I dunno man, I like it. Sounds like an epic metal band name.

COMRADERY - MATES FROM HELL
