>"Moshing is too dangerous" People like this are

I was in a mosh that got too hype once and I accidently bounced right out of the mosh and elbowed some dude right in the jaw. He fell over onto the gril next to him like a human domino. Shit was cash

>moshing

What does this have to do with music?

>I'd rather cavort violently around with other people doing the same than listen to the music

people like this are ruining the concert experience

Fact: Only FAGGOTS enjoy moshing.

shows without moshing usually aren't worth going to

because otherwise its just a bunch of chumps standing around trying to look cool

>>54066224
REAL FACT: only faggots get angry about either side of the moshing debate

>>54066223
>>54066224
NO FUN ALLOWED

>I listen to and enjoy the kind of music that people mosh to

People like this are ruining music

>>54066222
People generally do this at music festivals and concerts
>>54066223
You're probably a guy who spends half the time recording the concert on an iphone

>tfw saw two guys at Slayer get physically restrained by two middle aged people when they tried to start a pit
>Everyone else was still
>Everyone at Rise Against was still
>The best moshes from that weekend were a 10 person mosh at a 12:15 World Inferno Friendship Society show and a crazy fucking black person mosh at Big Freedia while black chicks twerked

For such a patrician town, New Orleans sometimes turns out some shitty fucking crowds

Yeah, man I'm just , like, ready to fuckin' go, you know? Like, I can't wait to just get out in the pit tonight just fuckin' HURT someone. LET'S FUCKIN' THROW DOWN.

People moshing because the music feels fucking good is awesome. People getting battered or throwing their fists around because they think it's the only way to appreciate the music is not awesome.

I saw Beach Fossils a couple months ago and people were going crazy

it was so goddamn fun

>>54066293
I know. It didn't help that railings cut the crowd in half, so a front and center mosh could never happen. It was still a fantastic show, and I listen to 0 metal

>>54066367
This is what it was like seeing Metallica live.
My Dad bought me a ticket. 90% of the crowd were sitting down for the whole thing.

>>54066390
lel, never been to a hip hop show buddy?

>>54066394
Yeah fuck seeing washed up thrash bands at shit stadium venues

its all about punk shows

Plus it was a festival set between Rise Against and Outkast. It wasn't the right crowd for it

>that guy at the front with his girlfriend

I never got moshing. I've tried it a handful of times but I just don't get it. I mean I go dance at electronic festivals and move with crowds at some shows but those people that straight up throw themselves around and get all bloodied and fucked and leave smiling.
Are they really that angry?

>>54066529
Catharsis, dude. Same reason people join fight clubs or do other stupid stuff. When else can you get out that animal energy?

>>54066529
It depends whether you are doing it because the music has you that hyped up, or doing it because you get to go back to school on Monday and tell everyone how hard you moshed.

>i go moshing
people like this are ruining the concert experience

>>54066529
I mosh to the music. There's assholes who just move and push even when the band isn't playing. I also will pull down anyone I see trying to crowdsurf while jumping on someone else without asking.

brostep moshing is goat

>>54066578
Nobody moshes at indeh shows so stop complaining about it
I don't care if you and 100 other people all stand there with you're arms crossed for the duration of the show, because i wont be there

>>54066557
>>54066558
I guess I'm too chilled to mosh. I rarely ever get "animal energy" and it's never happened at show. I'm probably too high to do it.

>>54066617
There are so many people like that I've seen and I just think wow you're really the worst type of person

>Andy stott gig
>Everybody dancing like fucking lunatics, but somehow, as if by magic, manage to give each other perfect personal space.

This is the best experience at a gig. Everybody just letting go and doing what they want, with enough space to do it.

>>54066617
>pulls crowdsurfers down

alpha as fuck

>>54066714
>Alright kids, remember to leave a foot of space between you and your partner while dancing at prom.

>>54066735
I don't pull all crowdsurfers down. If you tap my back and point up I'll help you up myself, If you jump on me I'll punch you on the kidney, steal your shoe or something else.

isn't moshing just hurting people instead of enjoying the music?

>>54066753
leave space for jesus

>>54066770
I love getting the shit beaten out of me to certain bands.

>>54066770
It is if you're an edgy douche. The best experience is when everyone is hyped up and they just start jumping around and a mosh is born

>>54066770
You're dumb

>>54066175
>Going to shows for the sole purpose of releasing angst and going out of your way to get in as many cheap shots on unsuspecting people as possible

Moshing isn't even a thing anymore, it's just a bunch of deathcore queers beating up preteen girls

>>54066809
stop going to deathcore shows then.

only fucking cunts punch people while moshing, you push each other around, but nobody gets hurt

>>54066636
>he's never been to a show

Yes they do. Anything with energy people will mosh too. I've moshed to O'Death, Total Slacker, Beach Fossils, Perfect Pussy, Tera Melos. Even Mac Demarco gets insane crowds.

It's not just metal you dumb fucking idiot

favorite song/band to mosh to?

Local noise rock bands usually satisfy the urge with plenty of hype and energy.

Also,

>tfw I'll never get to mosh at a Death Grips concert

Moshing only ever occurs in shit genres (Hardcore punk, EDM, Rap)

>>54066926
Ayyy, they go to my school and I've been to their barbeques

>>54066923
Not to when
but to what
if you were to mosh to anything from this thread
>>54065009 you'll be the biggest douche

>>54066953
What's a non-shit genre that is high energy?

>>54066953
so many hot opinions itt

>>54066967
whats a non shit genre that's low energy

>>54066964
well no shit
Pity Sex is surprisingly noisy live tho and it was a tiny venue so people got hype

>>54066993
>there's feedback let's mosh

True patricians stand there with their arms folded.

Violent animals dance around like tribal subhumans.

THE MORE YOU KNOW

>>54067053
sounds about right

>>54066899
Not sure if this is even a real quote, but if it is I have a newfound respect for Gira. He's completely right, not everyone thinks moshing is the best thing ever and moshing represents a reckless loss of control that more often than not shits on the experience for others

>>54067033
>not feeling the energy

>>54067152
>song still the same
I understand the feeling of being surrounded with people, u know I've been to big festivals and small shows all alike but nobody moshed at Modest Mouse just because there was a lot of energy in the crowd

People who go to punk shows knowing very well the aggressive energy it gives off while still crying about people moshing are dumb. I mean, what the fuck else do you expect?

>>54066272
the best mosh I've ever been in was at a Dinosaur Jr concert.
I didn't expect it to be so great.

>>54067233
punk is basically an umbrella term now tho so

moshing to Joyce Manor? stupid

Moshing to Gorilla Biscuits? expected AND encouraged

>>54067126
I get my energy out lifting and running. I don't need to physically assault people who are listening to music with me

>>54066175
>"moshing" is fun. it's all about enjoying yourself, because that's totally what I do when I listen to this band alone or in any other setting.

People like this are ruining concert experiences

>>54067283
>two consenting adults
>assault

Moshing is fine. Being a dick and shoving people who are on purpose not standing in the mosh pit is not.

>>54067269
Yeah. True. I'm just accustomed to associating punk with the heavier stuff since most of the local punk acts here are d-beat/crust/hardcore.

>>54067303
Nobody moshes at animal collective shows so stop whining about it

>>54067269
Joyce Manor still plays energetic music that makes me want to move around. Violence in the mosh pit is usually directly correlated with how intense the music is.

>>54067320
you know as well as I that even if you're not in the pit, you're still in-danger of people thrashing out of it, or it expanding into you

don't be so naive

>>54066272
Moshing at a big freedia show? seriously what the fuck

>>54066250

I have no problem with moshing, dancing, stage diving, or anything else. I just see it as an issue if people are using it as an excuse to intentionally harm someone and try to pass it off as moshing, or when the musics inappropriate for it.

>>54068250

I can tell you, when ride came up on stage and come up and get me began, I went fucking mental.

techno crowds are the best crowds everyone is in total harmony and appreciative of each other

only experimental metal is good

most metal and moshing are for autists

I literally don't attend concerts I can't mosh at. No point. It's just so boring without it.
