A form of enjoyment at any decent show, however, the best pits are at punk and metal shows, where they actually get some good moshing and don't just jump up and down like idiots at a Fall Out Boy concert. A good mosh pit is an excellent way to let go of all the energy and tension you get at show. In a mosh pit, the participants ram into each other and use their knees, elbows and shoulders to shove and strike. It is considered extremley. important in a mosh pit to pick up anyone that has fallen because the given person could literally die from suffocation or getting trampled. In really good mosh pits, you can be rendered unconcious. People outside of the subcultures that enjoy mosh pits find it scary and unappealing, but they won't ever know the happiness of a good pit.

Feel the bodies pulsing all around
Polite violence enticed by sound
A living mass of mindless pain
Shoved out only to push in again
Lost in the moment, forget who you are
Lost in the music, hear only the guitar
Bass line drumming in your ears so loud
See the vibrations more then you hear the sound
Bash and clang of the drums echoes in your mind
Give in to the violent motions you’re sure you can find
Kick, push, punch, scream, and shove
An unbridled expression of hate and love
Move with the crowd that surrounds
Shoved down towards the shaking ground
Groans of joy escape a smiling face
Hauled back up to keep with the pace
Sweat and blood mixed and shared
The gift of being unprepared
A moan escapes from exhausted lips
The crowd freezes and the mood dips
Limping away with a scream for the band
You just moshed, and you can barely stand

Side effects of moshing may include, but are not limited to: light-headedness, bruises, bloody noses, broken noses, loss of balance, and in extreme cases unconsciousness.
Also, everyone who is in your way will be out of your way, unless you're doing it wrong.

the pushing and shoving/punching done during heavy metal, rock, and punk music. An amazing way to relive stress and/or anger.
1. Dude, my bitch left me, put on some Killswitch Engage and lets mosh.
2. Dude i broke my nose in the pits yesterday. IT WAS AWSOME!

Basically, a form of dancing which is popular in concerts usually involving punk or metal music. It is an extremely aggressive dance, which is based mainly on pushing, shoving and punching. Although moshing is a very aggressive activity, it is considered paramount in all mosh pits to look after one another. Most people enjoy moshing because of its ability to relieve anger or tension in a safe and healthy way, as well as its ability to allow oneself to obtain a feeling of comradery, which encompasses all those who add whatever they can to the pit.

1. Mosh mosh derived from the term mosher, by lazy british kids who think they're better than everyone. It is primarily used to call someone a mosher or to take the piss out of a mosher.
These people often have no idea what a mosher is
