Prehistoric rocker.
Before depression, drainpipes and emo, there was light-heartedness, baggy jeans and moshers.
These were people who listened to a wide
variety of rock music, but weren't
particularly interested in fashion.
Playing guitar out of genuine interest and skateboarding among teenage moshers was very common, unlike today, where many are too self-conscious to attempt any sport activity.
Attire can include anything from casual everyday wear, to So-Cal statements such as dickies shorts and high socks a-la Blink 182, to baggy hoodies and jeans, often with chains attached. Skinny jeans had not yet been invented.
Genuinely want to have a good time whilst moshing and headbanging in the 'mosh pit', hence where the word 'mosher' originated. Generally open-minded, fun, and nice people, always up for a party, often have many 'mosher' friends. Are indifferent to dirt and greasiness. Hate labelling or stereotypes. Only known enemies are jerks, chavs, neds and council estate
working class pyromaniacs.
Most popular from the early-mid 1990's to early 2000's.
Extinct by about 2002.
