f.s.u.
 

So I know like very very little about this gang and they're pretty much terrorizing all local hardcore shows. All I really know is its a bunch of hardcore kids looking to kick some ass and I'd like more info on them, all I really know is their name stands for Friends Stand United Or Fuck Shit Up. I've heard a bit. Its original members were in bands like wrecking crew, and ss decontrol (I think) and they were originally just kicking nazi skins out of the shows, now its a worldwide gang or something? Tell me please.

Never heard of it. Around here we've got some group SevenFightSeven (from the 757 area code is where they get the name).

Seems fairly retarded to me.

Thats the only thing out of the news i've really gotten. If this stops me from going to shows i'm going to be pissed.

I believe they started in Boston and were apart of the whole 80s/90s hardcore scene. A bunch of meatheads if you ask me. They are pretty much coast to coast now with a foot in the door anywhere there is a hardcore scene. Alot of them are the ones who book the shows, or promote them and alot of the hardcore bands have close ties with them. The ones out here are ruthless, thats about all i can say. taking pickaxes and machetes to a show and starting riots because you dont like the opening band is pretty lame. One of them got shot and killed at a club here called Skrappys at a Shattered Realm show (a band with FSU ties) when a fight broke out and a bunch of the FSU guys ran and got weapons and started attacking people, someone capped one of them. They will say they are not a gang, that they are just friends that watch each others backs, but truth is they are a gang, no differant than any other gang that bullies and strongarms people to get their way. they put the blame on everyone else, claiming they are getting a bad rap from the media and that they do nothing wrong. but stay away from them, they cant be trusted, they will jump and beat on anyone that looks at them wrong or they think dont belong at a hardcore show. They are violent thugs that try and rule the scenes with a mafia type attitude.

heres a pretty good article describing them:

This blows, my friends and other random contacts have said they've been at shows that I would go to and I almost found a drummer for my band, **** man.

FSU aren't all bad people. Really, they're mostly people who have had the ****tiest lives you can imagine, and have developed a lot of aggression and very poor impulse control. Just don't start crap, and don't talk about FSU and you never have to worry. In fact, they're not bad people to have as friends, but don't get on their bad side. Don't worry about them ruining the show, 99% of the time there are a bunch of them at a show they'll just add to the energy and not start trouble. If you ever meet members, keep an open mind, relax, and really listen to what they might have to say. Almost all truly violent people will show you the greatest respect if you show it to them in turn, but take disrespect as seriously as you can imagine. If you're worried about FSU having anything to do with emo, then don't worry, because they really have nothing to do with emo whatsoever.

This all blew over and was a long time ago and ended in alot of arrests, and I don't care how shitty your lifes been, it doesn't justify beating people up at shows. These guys are fuckheads and faggots.

I'm tempted to say, that these people don't know what a shitty life really is.

They sound like a shower of spoilt brats, that are short of a good kicking.

Idiots.

That doesn't happen over here.

Wrong.

My friend didnt know any of the guys whatsoever but at a show a few months back (he lives in NJ) he saw some kids repeatively pointing to him through out the night and eventually he was ganged up on randomly. He didnt know any of them, and didnt do anything mean to aggrivate them. I don't know if it's still like that but earlier in the year random fights and these FSU guys were happening a lot in his scene apperantly. Tons of drama and fights occured here as well, but we don't have any of these lame ass hardcore scenester gangs and whatever.
