In fairness, while it is not a socioeconomic distinction, there is a huge amount of musical snobbery goes on in here.  You might be talking about coked up fwits but lots of the chat is just plain and simple about how crap the music and a belief that everyone who likes a certain genre of music is a skanger or a pill head etc.

I don’t think that’s true. You can’t ignore that certain types of music draws certain types of people. I only had to peep in the history of hip hop tent to see that. Slayer would draw more metallers, Avicci would draw more knobs. People take pills who are in their 40s with kids and big houses. Businessmen are the worst I’ve seen for getting coked out of their minds. There are generalisations going to be made

Don't think Avicci is drawing anything these days

Couldn't agree more. Nothing more infuriating than being put in a box by people you've never met, with people you're nothing like, because you like a certain musical act or genre.

Ah in fairness there aren't that many 'scumbags' at Electric Picnic still I wouldn't think, there are a few of course which is bound to happen with 50,000+ attending but I have rarely felt like someone is actively looking to start trouble. People pushing through crowds to get to the front or who have overdone it on drink/drugs there are plenty, but I wouldn't call these people scumbags!

It is still nowhere near the crowd that used to turn up at Oxegen thankfully. Or maybe Pink Moon the last two years has sheltered me..

Yes my definition of "skangers" is the little BITXX who punched me in the face at James Bay 2016 - I being a middle aged woman, totally sober - trying to enjoy the music whilst her and her non Socio Economic issues "Designer Tan/Clothes/Extensions and Drunken Drugged up friends" kept pushing us and standing on us (plenty of space around us at the time).

So Skangers are those that ruin it for everyone else - why should their being off their tree destroy everyone else's fun...………….

Agree with this, its the people who are there to get out of there mind (which i have no problem with). but do it with No regard for other people.

I think there's a lot, but i don't think they ever leave the Hendrix campsite so don't affect anyone!

Sure a fight can break out at any event no matter who is on stage. I worked with a guy who got into a fight at a Roxette gig, I still don't know how that could happen but it did.

he obviously was dressed for success but got on the wrong joyride and then it all went Crash! Boom! Bang!

I was at Kendrick at Longitude in 2016 and can confirm that the only uncomfortable thing was pasty Irish ones rapping the n word. The crowd was grand. I wasn’t right up front though.

Getting back to more pressing matters, did some digging and saw SEVDALIZA has Saturday listed on her Facebook. Really wary of clashing now.

I am assuming these are all Roxette references, in which case you your knowledge concerns me (musical snob clearly).

They are but only two were from memory and the third was pulled from everyhit.com when I went looking to pad it out. Not that it makes it any better but I do have a deep and abiding love for 80’s cheese.

Wish they would stop running ads. I don’t care anymore if they have some secret announcement because it’s all been dragged out too much.

Going to crack up if I see that Made By Music/Maxi Jazz sponsored tweet by Three Ireland one more time.
