Moshing
Tom:
I fail to see the appeal of moshpits. I don't see the point in not being able to see the band due to people constantly getting in your way and constantly getting bumped around.
who like moshpits? who doesn't? wieso?
negative creep:
I like moshpits when I'm 50% of a Wall of Death that we just do because we like the people in the band. On most other occasions, not so much.

What you need to remember is that moshing was originally only done to hardcore. Stick on any hardcore song which isn't a slow number (so almost any) and imagine people doing something other than walls of death, touching base, two stepping, KDS, stage dives, lots of finger pointing at any and all crucial moments and the good old slam. It just doesn't work really does it? It got weird when people started doing it at general rock gigs, where there are other acceptable dances and people aren't quite so into catharsis and unity. But at a hardcore gig the appeal is in letting rip and having some fun dancing, usually in a deeply silly fashion. Like they say, "stage dives make me feel more alive than coded messages in slowed down songs".
PECOAE:
i mosh when there are people who enjoy hitting people around, because i love doing it - especially when there are a lot of people in the crowd.
excess aggression, too :-D

I don't mean to be a dick, but people who hit people in pits are just being arseholes. Grow up and leave it out.
