A teenage subculture.
A mosher is a person who generally hangs out with other moshers, and sometimes emos and goths. They hate chavs and visa-versa, but try to aviod them. They wear generally dark clothing, usually baggy jeans and a black hoody with a band logo on it. They listen to mostly heavy metal, and mosh to it (hence the name mosher). They do take baths, don't cut their wrists.
Most of the have long or moderatly long hair

A mosher hears a bunch of chavs approaching from around the otherside of the street, singing some random crap. Mosher quickly flees down another road to aviod the yobs. (true story)

Get the moshermug. a mosher likes all types of rock music and wears stylish cloths, usually of the color black, they are kewl nice considerate people who are unfairly picked on by chavs. moshers will mind their own business and try and keep the peace with everyone they meet. unlike their mortal enemies (chavs) moshers actually find constructive things to do with their time for example learning to play an instrument. where chavs just hang on street corners thinking they all dat.
mosher are kewl music loving dudes without an attitude problem unlike chavs that hate anything that moves and whats to beat anything with a face

Get the moshermug. 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 moshermug. 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)...
