I don't get the idea of Moshing around / pushing people around when listening to music , I don't see why been pushed around and acidently punched in the face is enjoyable.

If this or any sort of music makes you want to be violent and fight that's fine but then I would want to do it properly and actually be beating the shit out of people not some half arsed prancing around that is not satisfying but yet still has potential for you to accidently hurt yourself or sum one.


as for the music not my cup of tea at all , the singing comes across as pining for attention and how hard life is and what have you which is strange when its coming from what look to be failry well of middel class kids. not that that's any different from much of the gangsta rap and other things.
at least they were singing in tune and playing instruments to a reasonable standerd.

A good mosh pit is a beautiful thing Westy. I really enjoyed some of the concerts I went to back in the 90's where mosh pits weren't really a "punch in the face" affair but more of a way to get into a crowd and struggle and work out all your pent up energy. As a teenager, moshing can be a really good way to get that energy out. Nobody really ever got hurt in the best mosh pits. It was really just a struggle against the crowd.

As for the music: not really my cup of tea either. It sounds completely formulaic, like Linkin Park's record producer performed the whole thing. And that lead singer's precious little hair helmet makes me want to hit him with a fucking brick.

If I was going to get rid of pent up energy randomly flailing around to music would not cut it id need to be perpousfully beating the shit out of sumone , or jogging , or doing some sort of sport.



I have been in some mosh pits where everyone was friendly and I know they are just having fun but it just strikes me as stupid if your just bumping into each other ( I was at one where everyone stopped cos some person got punched in face and fell on floor so i know its all ment in a friendly way in most of them ) , I mean if it was sexy half naked women bumping into me then wouldnt have an issue with that having said that though iv been to lebean clubs where that happend but evan then it was just a bit weard.



General mosh pits are grate for gay guys though im pritty sure you could cup a feel and get away with it.



^ I realise that's not indicative of your average mosh pit. ^
