mosher - Wall of Death - circle pit

A dangerous genre of dancing related to heavy metal/rock music. Usually done in crowded areas by pushing, shoving and jumping. The denser frontal part of a concert gig will usually have the crazier stunts such as trampling and crowd surfing.

A dancing style closely associated with heavy/rock music. When people mosh they often knock into other people and move their head in time to the music. A group of people all moshing is called a mosh pit.

a dance done during rock shows in tight places by hitting others and crashing into them

When you're going nowhere, but EVERYONE is in your way.

A hectic, sometimes very violent, form of dancing usually done at concerts for punk, hardcore, metal or hard rock bands. Usually takes place at the front area of the floor, near the stage, in a crowd of people. When one moshes, a gap in the crowd emerges and somebody runs into the middle wildly flailing or swinging their arms and legs. In some cases people take turns moshing; one person enters the open area and moshes, then goes back to the edge, then another enters and moshes before leaving and making way for another person. However it is more common for many moshers to enter the space at the same time, creating a makeshift pit in the crowd filled with punching, kicking, and swinging of the limbs. Thus this crowd of moshers is called a mosh pit. Mosh pits can vary in size.

NOTE: Mosh pits can be extremely dangrous; countless cases of injuries have occurred in mosh pits. It is very common to be strongly punched or struck in the face when in a mosh pit. When a pit forms near an unwilling concertgoer, they and all others around the edge hold out their elbows and arms in defensive stances in order to create a buffer zone for the pit. And lastly, mosh pits can sometimes form unexpectedly, almost anywhere in a crowd. So fellow concertgoers should constantly take caution to look for them if they don't want to be caught in the middle of the mosh pit.

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.

Potentially dangerous activity performed at concerts by fans of extreme punk bands or bands which play forms of pseudo-metal. A form of dancing characterised by varying degrees of violence towards fellow dancers. In other words, the dance of angry morons. Contrary to popular belief, TRUE metalheads don't mosh, they headbang and behave like relatively much more civilised humans. This is because TRUE metal bands {e.g. Olympos Mons, Doro, Black Majesty, Terasbetoni, Kaledon, Rhapsody Of Fire, Edenbridge} play ELEGANT music that can express every known human emotion, not just bleeding boring old anger, anger, more anger and yet MORE anger.
