My very first hardcore show was when I was around 19 years old, I’m 58 now. I saw Negative Approach and Hated Youth in Gainesville FL at the American Legion hall..an off grade older building. The pit was huge and organized, the whole place was shaking. It started everything for me, still my favorite show all these years later.

They're on tour right now with 7 Seconds & Circle Jerks. Can't believe I'll see them in a few weeks in Dallas!

@Crooked Halo 7 seconds had covid so weren't at the buffalo show I was at a week ago. Maybe they will join back in in a couple weeks. But being old who knows.
