actual pro tip from a girl who has been to more shows than i could ever count: if you ever need to get out of a crowd quickly, push your body in the direction you need to go while you put your hand over your mouth and dramatically, visibly heave. people will get out of your way IMMEDIATELY.
anyone who has been to a pop-punk/punk/hardcore show knows there’s a specific Type Of Guy who uses shows as an excuse to rough up small women. and the crowd was FULL of those dudes. but they move out of the way REAL quick when they see a bitch who looks like she’s about to puke 😂
