Thankfully the entire area in front of the stage was all ages, as there were kids going apeshit gaga the entire time JFA played--slam dancing, skanking, and stage diving, just like the good old days (with the same percentage of total retards who do stupid stuff like punch in the pit and stage dive knees-first).
A sensible person who wanted to explain some rules while avoiding apeshit would strangle that sentence before it grew--or just say crazy, insane, postal, nuts, bonkers, bananas, or some other PG-rated synonym for crazy.
A few recent examples suggesting the persistence and multivalence of appropriation in the media arts include Dee Dee Halleck's Gringo in Mananaland (1995), Suzie Silver's The Look of Love: A Gothic Romance (1998), Craig Baldwin's Spectre of the Spectrum (1999) and Leah Gilliam's Apeshit (1999), each of which resolves distinctive aesthetic or narrative problems with appropriated imagery.
