What is wrong with some people?
I thought music was about nonconformity?
What kind of metal concert is it if there isn’t a guy in a silly costume moshing?? One of my most treasured memories is being in a moshpit and getting decked by a guy in a chicken costume, absolutely folded, only to get dragged to my feet by several others before I even realized I was on the ground. Community, people, community!!
A person in a banana suit is basically a prerequisite of any ska show. We used to have inter-punk solidarity; these guys must have not gotten the memo.
While End It has not responded to the public callout, they have quietly gone missing from a few corners of the internet. Their Facebook page has allegedly been taken down, and they no longer appear on the posters and social media posts for Hatebreed and Life of Agony’s European Tour.
May they vanish
Indeed
Well thats not very hardcore of them at all. If i saw a banana moshing or crowd surfing id be stoked
I’m reminded of that “Yoshi’s in the pit” clip from a few years ago of an Australian band’s live performance where a dude dressed as Yoshi led a mosh pit and the singer was excited that was happening.
LOL Yoshi standing as a hoard revolves around them and then they join to run in circles… Sweet.
What’s going on with the crowd delivering people to the yellow vests?
This type of music is the opposite of what I would consider enjoyable. People are weird.
People are weird. We like what we like, and no one can really understand why some people’s brains gravitate towards some things other brains are repelled by.
I’m sure I have some music tastes you and others in this thread would consider weird or off-putting (Peaches, the Canadian producer, comes to mind immediately for her overtly sexual songs and themes).
Right? All the hardcore people I know are pretty chill and don’t take themselves to seriusly. When you start to act like you’re “sooo trve” you’re doing something wrong.
I now want a banana for scale at every metal show I go to (as long as I’m not standing behind him)
The banana costume isn’t even that unusual…
Colossal scumbags. Unfortunately, there are a lot of secret authoritarians and conformists in our midst anywhere, it’s unavoidable in any group that values a visually similar aesthetic as a way of signaling belonging, this absolutely goes for non-conformist and punk circles too whether we like it or not. Stay safe out there
“What we’ve learned by being excluded for who we are is to form a group that excludes others for not being exactly like us. This is social progress.”
Silly hats only
I have a bad feeling about his anus
Wait, the band singled out some dude in the crowd of Canadians for wearing a costume as wanting attention? The same band on an elevated stage being very loud and under spotlights? Did they feel threatened that they weren’t the complete center of attention anymore?
Thank you for the comments letting me know the band was dropped from their tour. Live music is amazing and dying at the same time. It doesn’t need wankers like these acts killing it faster.
The massive irony of a punk band calling someone out for not fitting in is undergoing gravitational collapse.
Nazi punks, fuck off!
This band it appears is anti israel, loudly so. I feel that although this incident was bullshit and they should’ve left the banana weirdo alone, the fallout was amplified by Israel because the band criticizes them.
To be clear, Israelis are the Nazis.
No it was amplified cause these guys continue the idea of bullshit culture that you can treat people like shit cause of how they dress.
While I agree, and don’t like the band or their music. The fact of the matter is, they are outspoken against Israel and that’s a good share if not the reason they are being cancelled so hard.
Get fucking real.
I don’t give a fuck what their opinion of Israel is, this shit is not fucking cool and this video alone will make sure I never ever see this band ever
No, you get real. Let people tell you why they are upset at someone and believe it.
They showed who they were. Can something else be true sure but tin foil hat conspiracy after a group abuses one of their fans won’t get confirmed as true just cause you want it. We are letting you know why we are upset with then and you keep interrupting with your idea why we are upset. Its messed up and ignores others.
Nah. They did a super d bag thing all on their own. Israel wouldn’t have had to help with this one. You don’t get to be a next to no name band and tell a crowd to kill a guy and strip him of his clothes without getting abandoned by anyone with a reputation. Not since the 90’s, anyhow.
What the fuck is wrong with them that they think this was acceptable? I’m glad they’ve been dropped from their upcoming tours.
I’m especially disappointed by the fans who fucking listened and attacked the guy, too.
Frankly, the banana guy has every right to sue their asses for encouraging violence against him and destroying his property.
Reminds me of a much worse incident, a clip I saw of a Travis Scott concert, he crowdsurfed and his shoe came off iin this kid’s hand and he accused him of stealing it and tried to start a fuck him up, fuck him up! chant.
The crowd ignored scott and got the fan to safety in that case.
I’ve never heard his music but Travis Scott sounds like a piece of shit
Isn’t he the one that encouraged the fans outside the stadium to hop the fences and sneak in which lead to several people getting trampled to death?
Was that the same one where he refused to stop the show while paramedics tried to get to the trampled people? Not sure if that was him or not, it was maybe a few years ago
Edit: apparently it was, per the other commenter next to you
Travis Scott played a set in which 8 people died. To be fair, Travis Scott wasn’t the sole factor for the deaths. Management and the promoter share responsibility.

Band got dropped from their tour. They also have taken down their FB page if I remember.
Their behaviour was shitty and they deserve having lost their place on that tour.
Also they were supposed to tour Europe on the bill with Hatebreed until Jamey Jasta heard about this.
Make breed, not hate.
Oh yeah, The End, is so over.
What a shitty band, I’m glad they’ve been kicked out of the punk scene.
Way to End It.
Sounds like the band read the room wrong. It’s kind of weird to call out someone for wanting attention while on stage too.
The fan later took to Instagram Stories to reveal that the costume was destroyed after the End It gig, per a report from The PRP. “People have been trying to dim my sparkle my entire life. It sucks, but I’m used to it,” he wrote. “I’ve surfed hundreds of people in this suit, all genders, all ages, safely. Especially, a lot of first timers that felt safe to approach me for their first surf.”
“[End It], two of your band members crossed the line…and I’m obligated to speak on it,” the fan continued, addressing the band directly. “F**k the police? While policing what people wear?”
He added, “The message last night; Conform or get called out, exactly the opposite of what hardcore is supposed to be. I was an unwilling participant, attacked and clothing removed at the direction of a band I paid to see.”
Then, the End It frontman offered the setlist to anyone willing to successfully “strip the banana.”
Offering a reward for beating up a fan is insane. Glad they were dropped from the tour.
