Usually occurring among young people at the front of festivals and night clubs and sometimes concerts. It normally occurs when there is a genre of music with a drop in it e.g. rap, rock, electric, etc. It is usually started by one or a few people who spread their hands out gently pushing others back who then in turn notice what is going on and start to form an empty circle within the crowd. Others can join in the process of gently pushing the people next to them back to expand the circle. There are sometimes one or two people in the middle skipping around the edge ushering people to move out. Sometimes there are people doing acrobatics through the middle of the circle to add the the hype (but if you do this make sure you do this before the beat drops obviously). Then when the beat drops everyone rushes into the middle of the circle at the same time usually jumping to the beat; try to keep your balance as there will be pushing. Some mosh pits pulse e.g. they go in then out a bit etc. but some don't and just go in and stay in for a bit so just play it by ear. There is sometimes chanting you can join in with. In most mosh pits if someone or a few people fall on the floor people will shout out "stop" and everyone around will help the people off the floor quickly. So in essence they are a good way to make friends with random people and enjoy the music more but with a slightly increased risk of injury.

I'd say that a moshpit is a pile (or pit) of people doing some wacked out, aggressive-filled dancing. The dancing within the moshpits moshing includes pushing, punching, kicking, jumping, and anything else that can be done physically.
It's pretty pointless to be coming out with a broken bone or something, but it's a good way to let out anger or aggression on someone you don't know!

Just watch a few videos that are at a hardcore, metal, or heavy-sounding rock band's concert, most of them (rather all of them) might include moshpits.

A drinking game created in Pelham involving one ping pong ball. The ball is thrown up at the ceiling and must bounce Into a cup, if you miss you drink a cup from the moshpit, if you make it you pick someone to drink. when you miss the ball is passed to right. The game continues like this until you only have the full cup left. When you miss you don't drink you just keep passing it till someone makes it. You cannot start the next game till the bitch cup is finished. Other rules- you cannot pick yourself to drink when you make a cup.
Bennett: Hey Johnny what do you wanna play tonight?
Johnny: let's do moshpit. The ceiling is perfect for it.

Something you say before doing something very retarded in a retarded voice or can be used before jumping in a Moshpit

where instead of falling down the stairs, you go moshing and 'accidentally' get in the way of that 120kg maniac who smashes your unborn baby with his momentum. Also called a hardcore abortion.

That one person who is taking it too far, hoarding the center and ramming into everyone even when the music isn’t moshpit worthy. As there can only be one moshpit bull at a circle at any given time , when two are seen in one circle, they would usually get over excited and push each other to their extremities until one gives up and opens a lame side circle or more commonly, security comes and spoils the party for everyone.
Josh limping back from the mosh pit..
Dave:“Jesus man what happaned to you? And where’s drake?”
Josh: “there were three moshpit bulls in the there bro, poor drake didn’t make it”
