Moshers are a group of people who listen to Metal, Rock, Grunge etc.
There is a long standing enmity between Chavs/Townies and Moshers.

I am a Mosher because of the music I like, I dress in baggy jeans, cool t-shirts, steel toe caps, not because I want to conform to some form of Mosher dress code...but because I like them.
I have always been treated with hate by Chavs/Townies for who I am, what I listen to. I do not hate Chavs/Townies as a whole, I just hate the random bastards who think it's fun to gang up on you and kick the shit outta you because you like different music to them, however I have noticed that there are a hell of lot more of these random cunts than there are decent Chavs/Townies.

Get the Moshersmug. A person or persons who mosh.
Mosh-Someone who loves the beat of the music so much they have to move to it, jumping swinging etc.
It does not have to be rock though, lots of people can mosh to Ska, Punk, Rap and Hip~hop etc.
Are secure enough in themselves to express themselves in any way they see fit, whether it be the clothes they wear, the music they listen to, or the people they interact with.

Get the moshersmug. people who have the confidence to be themselves and not who every one else wants them to be, rather than buy the exact same makes as their friends , so as to fit in. Moshers often express themselves freely and generally don like bieng called sweaty as they walk through town.
chav: ha ha look a sweaty
mosher: f**kin chav , lets see what he thinks of us 'sweatys' in 5 minutes
*mosher makes a little call to his frends down the street who just happen to wear chains as a fashion accesory , or happen to have a skateboard handy*
chav , ends up beaten and bruised by moshers

Get the moshersmug. As a labelled 'mosher' for the last 20-odd years I think most people have a point with their definitions. I feel that moshers (or rock fans as they should really be termed) are generally personable and friendly, and are on the whole of above average intelligence. They are quite chilled out (in my case due to having rock music to channel any aggression that might be lurking...not in a negative way though) but have a chip on their shoulder about the general perception of them by society as a whole.
Back in my day (about 1860) there was even more distrust of moshers as we were a smaller sub-group than is the case now, and we were seen as a subversive influence. I find it hard to credit that this is still the case now, despite the fact that youth anti-social behaviour is often highlighted without any examples of moshers being involved (except as victims :()
I do find the individuality thing funny though. I always saw myself as an individual, as were my 40 similarly attired acquaintances! Peole who are labelled often shrink into the safety of the genre they're placed in and therefore limit themselves in what they wear and listen to. Genuine individuality is wearing and listening to exactly what they want without any need to justify themselves. Having said that:
Moshers are generally positive, intelligent and thoughtful people who have always been given a negative reputation without any justification.

Our television screens are full of examples of anti-social behaviour, but do any of them show anti-social behaviour by moshers?

Get the moshermug. Put plainly and simply - A person dancing in a mosh pit - NOT someone sat around in brightly coloured clothes. NOT someone who wears baggy trousers and skateboards (they're skaters)...

Get the moshermug. A mosher is someone who enjoys listening to music (around the metal/rock area) They wear mainly jeans, sometimes skinny, sometimes baggy, and a lot of them wear plimsols. They usually have funky hair, but unfortunately i dont. As you may have guessed, I myself happen to be a mosher, and i am currently wearing grey checked skinny jeans, a brown hoodie (NOT CHAVVY OR PREPPY HOODY) and them bulky plimsol things with straps on. i do not believe in god and totally despise all chavs and preps. :P hope i helped
