Moshing

<< < (5/11) > >>

PECOAE:
I only do it when the music is loud and fast, and it's usually in good fun - I don't know that I'd do it at a show of a professional band or anything, I just do it at shows of my friends' bands. 

And wow, Sick Of It All is mad good, I hadn't heard much really good hardcore but that video was awesome...

a pack of wolves:

Awful myspace kids are like a fucking rash over Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. It pretty much goes away once you get north of London. Your based in Leeds, right? I imagine it's a lot better up your way. I've been out a few times in Birmingham, and the difference in quality is ridiculous. It's a shame, because we have some good venues, good people and good bands down here, they're just swamped.

Yeah, I just didn't want anyone to think that kind of nonsense was what went on at all hardcore gigs.

Sadly we're overrun with them here too, this is the home of 30 Days of Night records after all. Happily there are so many of them that they can have their own scene for the most part, so unless you go to see bands like Waking The Cadaver, Bring Me The Horizon, Clone The Fragile or something you don't have to deal with the macho nonsense. You don't see them when bands like Nile play and since that's the kind of death metal I'm fussed about that's fine by me. It's a shame you're overrun with the morons down there, nothing worse than an unfriendly gig.

THROW DOWN

I've become too old for moshing.

The chaps in that top .gif look like a really awesome unit from a new RTS.

Umm yeah. Moshing. I like it a lot when it's that sort of formless energetic lunacy of people mutually agreeing to thrash about in each others' faces. It is cathartic and unbound by rules, and it just makes sense in the most primal of ways. However, this "hardcore dancing" doo-dah has my mind perplexed. It seems utterly contrived to me, and I don't see how it connects to the music or the natural movement of a gig. Then again, I have only ever come across it in recent years, as it has become a fad, so maybe I am not getting the real deal.
