Dance

Moshing. Don't hate.



Listen to me before you hate. Moshing is not hostile. It's a form of ridiculous self-expression and indulgence in the music being played. The object, contrary to popular belief, is not to hurt anyone or be hurt. In fact, when people enter a mosh pit swinging their fists around, they are immediately handled by the surrounding members of said mosh pit.

Mosh Pit: Noun: The spontaneous dance floor created in front of a stage when people mosh.
Moshing: Noun: Brit slang a style of energetic sinuous dancing done in a crowded space especially to heavy metal or thrash music and usually done in a moshpit, the area in front of the stage at a gig.

It's scary. Yeah. Definitely, because you can get hurt if you're a moshing n00b (hahaha), but ultimately it is a form of self-expression, and it's really, really fun. REALLY fun. Look up some other videos on youtube if you'd like to learn more. You might find some really entertaining ones.
