FSU has two meanings: Friends Stand United or F**k S**t Up. The gang claims no turf. Their domain is the hardcore music scene. Their path traces back almost twenty years to the streets of Boston. It was there that Elgin James, a mixed-race homeless kid, founded the gang and they made their presence known with brutal force. Battling the Neo-Nazi skinhead, they took back the hardcore venues and made it safe for the others who shared them. One of their mottos is friends don't let friends fight alone. If you fight one, you'll fight them all. We interview founding members of FSU, along with law enforcement, as we uncover the bloody history of a gang you've probably never heard of.

Thats funny I remember the hardcore scene before FSU and it was awesome, bunrattys had all ages sunday shows like every week so did the rat and a bunch of other clubs. After FSU started to rise up everything went to shit. Metal and Hardcore shows were few and far between and forget about an all ages show. Most people I knew just didn't bother going to shows anymore because of all the gang shit. At least that's what I remember. This was like 91-92ish mabey 93-94, it was a long time ago. Watch this clip and it pretty much sums up what shows were like 1990 and before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ciyrNkO0Zg&feature=related
