Punk rock concerts are associated with the hardcore dance styles: pogo dancing (bouncing against other people) and moshing (whacking one’s hair and head around). Stage diving and crowd surfing are also an integral part of any punk concert. Visually punks are often dressed in black clothes contrasted with very colourful and eyecatching elements and hairstyles; they also have tattoos, jewellery and body piercings (which they also prefer to make themselves).

Platform shoes and colored leather circled around the bar and lounge, lling the waiting hours with Facebook and text messaging, interspersed with shouts of "Dude!" and whispers of "Do you have any E?"

Brian MacKenzie. He shook my hand with a smile and I noticed the word "UNSCARED" tattooed across both hands, one letter on each of eight ngers. Within minutes, it became clear that we shared a similar brand of enthusiasm. The absurd kind that often overrides self-preservation.
