A (usually short) vocal cue, most commonly used by hardcore bands to announce a breakdown, so the crowd knows when to start moshing.

Get the mosher mug.v. When at a crowded rock show, it is the act of using the area cleared for a mosh pit in order to maneuver your way closer to the front while simultaneously mimicking a desire to 'mosh'.
Bro 1 'Bro, I can't see the band from here, and this song is my JAM!'
Bro 2 ' Well, broseph. Why don't you use some mosh pit politicking to maneuver your way to the front of the venue so you can get a better view. You must act like you want to mosh, though. Otherwise dudes will know you're just trying get to the front, and they'll crush you!'

Get the mosh pit politicking mug.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.
