Gigs
They seem to be an unusual place. People who will be polite and friendly if you pass them in the street, will automatically turn into arseholes as soon as they get inside. I find that the people who others avoid in the street are much more fun to go to gigs with.

For example -

I went to see Disturbed, the 'heavy' band of the nu-metal scene, and ended up nearly getting into about 5 fights, was ridiculous. Not really something you want at your first gig.

A few years later I went to see Napalm Death (and a few others), and the camaraderie was much greater, we were sharing beers, outside people were sharing spliffs, I saw at least one guy buy about 10 burgers, then wander round giving them to people who looked like they needed them most.

Just seems odd to me, pseudo-heavy gig, bunch of arseholes.
Actual heavy gig, friendliest people in the world.
