#music#video#i was at a post-punk show last weekend with my best friend and we had an interesting conversation afterwards#about how you could tell visually from people's dancing styles what mental category they fit the band into#and where people were most used to dancing or had learned club dancing#they pointed out a few specific people as having learned by imitating the go-go dancers at the local alt club#and i had been noticing how on the main floor the mix of goth clubbers and metalheads/punks meant nobody knew how close to stand#a bunch of people were trying to do music video arm movements but the natural spacing on the floor didn't really allow it#while i was feeling physically weirded out by how far apart everyone was#not expecting a *pit* but there wasn't the cohesive push forward like at a normal metal or punk show#it was a great show! but just interesting how this band's specific balance between darkwave and trad post-punk drew a mixed crowd#probably lots of other people there were like us and used to code-switching our dance styles in settings where the cues were less mixed#but in that complex context we all reverted to our first instincts#all of which is to say. this video doesn't show the crowd *much* but it's very cool to see when it does!#how an electronic fest crowd dances to acid jazz#sorry tag novel ๐
