A form of expression that has been obscured by the media and pussified by society. True moshing is a release of all your anger and hate. Basically you beat the shit out of each other. However "hardcore" and "emo" people have managed to make moshing look like pussy shit to all those who dont know the truth. They just push each other. What the fuck is that shit.
