Of those who are listening, most have a variations on a spiked theme, with clothing that reminds you of the punks they get down on campus. Between the spikes and the sheer amount they're jostling each other, it's surprising there isn't blood on the floor.

Another patron seems surprisingly hesitant to indulge in your taste for violence, even though she's literally covered in spikes. Once your fist comes in, though, she seems to get on board, grinning like an idiot.

Swing out of there
You decide that dancing is for suckers and make your way back towards the bar.
