A style of violent dancing that was first done in The American Hardcore Punk scene. The word itself originated from the Bad Brains song I Against I. The lyrics were "Mash it up..." but because they were Rastafarian it sounded like mosh. it was often spelled Mash but pronounced Mosh until later on.
watch Minor Threat, Black Flag and Bad Brains for some early moshing vids

Moshing (Mosh pits) can be expressed in many different ways at concerts, gigs, clubs, etc..
The first mosh was pushing each other with the palm of your hands inside a circle of people but now days has transformed into people punching, kicking, and even flipping themselves into others. No matter how violent the mosh may look, people who fall down are normally pulled straight back up by others in the pit. Also gives you an amazing rush.

A: It all went so fast, I only remember hitting a guy in the back of his head in the mosh last night.

Ok moshing isnt all about being cool, it really cant be defined but i will tell you moshing is not i repeat IS NOT about jumping around kicking and throwing your arms around "picking up change" and spinning around... no thats scene core or hard core dancing usually done at a screamo *NOT EMO* (because emo isnt this new tight jeans tight bright colored shirt and side bangs nooo, that is not emo)mcr fob fftl underoath *just to name a few*and no im not hating on the bands* concerts, moshing is being real loving the music and letting all your emotion out. The best and most true mosh pits are done when everyones just raming into each other... cuz to be compleatly honest standing on one foot kicking your other leg and swinging your arms will get you kicked down in a real mosh pit...
I was at a show the other weekend where joey belladonna from anthrax covered a whole anthrax cd, well IT WAS FUCKING AWSOME the mosh pits were hard core when they played mad house!!! but the band who played before them was a serious discrace to the metal scene... it was just a screamo band where the lead singer and most of the other members were either reallly short or really tall and no matter what weighed under 110 pounds all had side bangs and wore tight jeans and tight shirts it was depressing how manny of the scene core followers got up and hard core danced to the music, i got kicked in the back of the fricken head... but trust me when anthrax came on and they tried to get in they were killed... specially when damcyan comes around and they try to "mosh"

An exclaimation of success or joy like an alternative to get in
A particularly good happening may illicit a MTFRO response:
Mosh The F*ck Right On!

Moshed is generaly used in sentences to describe a person as dirty or roughed up. Can also be used to roast an ugly person. lol

1. A rock related dance which involves jumping up and down in a "mosh pit" full of fellow rockers to rock and heavy metal music.
2. The most amazing feeling in the world, after sex.
