In case you have ever wondered what the Chinatown Youth Center was like when there is a punk/metal/hardcore band playing... wonder no more:
That pit looks kinda scary at first glance, right? But if you're weird like us and really break down what's going on in that pit, it's not all that scary. One thing, everyone that throws punches wait till that have the room. Nobody is getting pissed at one another, just letting out some steam.
Take White T-shirt Guy at the beginning of the video. He's throwin' his fists around, running around all aggressive like, then by the 1:30 mark, he's as calm as a mountain pond - he got his issues out already. And look at the :48 mark, he almost gets punched by Red Hat Guy and is cool with it.
While the CYC may still not be for you, at least it may not be as unsettling now. If ya want to see more CYC videos check out Livexxfree's channel and here is what's going on there Friday night.
