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.

A person who moshes. In a mosh pit. At a gig. It's fun. Usually ends up with some kind of injury. I think that might be the point ...
A guy at the last gig I went to (RoadRage 2003) threw himself into me. Mmmm sweaty topless mosher guys ... *dribbles*

Moshers are just like everyone else they just listen 2 different music and have a difference fashion sense. yes some smell but so do some scalls. Yes some are slags but so are some trendies. yes some do judge other people on wat they wear but they get judged aswell and teased for it.
for example a mosher cant walk around birkenhead without a scally kicking off on them, teasing them and chasing them! i think that moshers are very brave to put up with it all and we should not see them all as freeks. some do cut themselfs take drugs and drink themselfs stupid but dont most of us?

A person or persons who most commonly wear baggy jeans or wear knee length raggy denim shorts. They usually wear baggy t-shirts. Sometimes they go in moshpits, (sometimes they don't because they don't want a broken arm!) It's a myth that a moshers worst enemy are townies because I'm a mosher and I have more townie friends than mosher friends! Usually into rock, metal music!
You see a person in baggy jeans and a hoodie, listening to Greeny Day on their personal CD player, either a mosher or a skater. You spot people going into Co-operation club in Sheffield, UK Mosher or skater

First of all letm ejust clear something up, moshers do not listen to Grean day although of course there are some that may listen to it as well as what moshers are labelled for, death metal and heavy metal. Moshers do not slit their wrists (of course there are exceptions). The only thing that can give you reasoning to label someone as a mosher is that they mosh ( very and a great workout). Moshers are not satanic, they do not necessarily have long hair (although lots do).

People just like the rest of us who just wear different clothes and listen to different music. And no they dont want this title just so they can cut themselves yes some do do this only because they have problems and feel there is no way out for them. And its not just goths moshers grungers etc who do this i have seen pikeys etc who do this too.
May sometimes be the poser type of goth.
