In high school my band played a pep assembly and we covered smells like teen Spirit. My friend Scotty ran across the gym and dove into the bleachers, he crowd surfed for a bit. People cleared the bleachers and started moshing in front of us and one of the teachers ran over and tried to grab the guitar out of our hands. Two of the members of our band were already graduated from high school and told the teacher to "fuck off." Then the principal unplug our amps and we had to stop. Later, when we were packing up we noticed there was blood on the gym floor in front of us. People were moshing so hard that there were injuries.

It was a pretty cool moment for young TNG. That friend Scotty that started the whole thing ended up founding Tank Crimes
