Back in the 80's hardcore crossed with metal and moshpits began to happen at metal concerts aswell as hardcore punk concerts. Initially a mosher was anyone who listened to metal/metalcore/hardcore/grindcore ect, and obviously moshed. In england after the "nu wave" of metal (american nu metal not the NWOBHM) a mosher became a derogatory reference to anybody who broke social trends such as, indie's, alternatives, metalheads, goths, punks, emo's, scenesters's ect. Many people now associate a mosher as someone who listents to alot of nu-metal (slipknot, linkin park, adema, spineshank) and the general clothing consists of baggy jeans, skate shoes, plain t-shirts and a band hoodie, but the modern day moshers barley exist today.
