Rules of Moshing

<< < (5/13) > >>

scarred:
Yeah all the best pits are the ones where everyone is jumping into each other. There always tends to be a group of douchebags off to one side that try to push the entire pit over though. Fuck those guys.

Also, extremely overcrowded pits can be awful. I literally couldn't get out of the pit after Holy Fuck played, and I was stuck in there until halfway through MGMT's set when I finally got up to the front and got about ten people to help lift me out of there so security could grab me. I think I kicked some poor girl in the boob on my way out, too. But I literally couldn't get out any other way. It was horrible ;-;

Lunchbox:
May - I am similar in that I am mostly a homebody, generally I prefer to stay in than go out and get drunk and waste money. But when it's a band that I really like, or I've heard have excellent shows, it's so worth it to get up the front amongst the throng of people all sharing the same excited energy about an awesome show. Even if you do end up squished against the sweaty back of a tall ugly dude, being so close to that many happy dancing people is the most fun ever. And I dunno, you feel like you have enjoyed it to the the best of your ability when you come out of a gig absolutely exhausted but totally buoyant from such a fun experience.

Also: Best moshpit I've ever been in is King Khan and the Shrines. Fuck yeah.

Aurjay:
I don't think ive ever been to a show where their are no girls. Usually they are the ones doing the most damage. I had a friend that whenever she would pit she'd make it a point to single out the biggest guy there and hit him in the face. Yes i know its wrong but they didn't seem to care. Mostly cuz she was cute i guess.

Lines:
The only time I was ever in a pit was accidental, as I was waiting rather close to the front for a show to start and as soon as it started, everyone just got shoved forward. Some dude tried to piggy back me though, so he got elbowed in the chest and stomach several times. As soon as this guy got the fuck off of me, I shoved my way out and enjoyed my show elsewhere in a drunken stupor. Other than that few minutes, it was a very good show, but then again I don't remember much of it, but I definitely know I had a good time. (Yay 21st birthdays!)

I generally do not like being jumped on or hit when I'm rocking out, so yeah. I will dance with other people, just not ones that dance like they're in a bar fight. Also I'm pretty sure if I got groped, I'm pretty sure I'd just start punching people, because that shit doesn't fly.

i haven't been molested in a pit (yet?) but i have had a dude much bigger than me punch me in the face, as in he looked right at me and aimed and everything. despite the fact that pits are supposed to be kind of chaotic and rough, this was obviously a deliberate act of violence aimed specifically at me. maybe he would have punched me regardless of who i was, or maybe he did it because i was one of the only women there surrounded by a bunch of dudes. i guess i'll never know. either way i had a visible bruise on my face for days after and it really made me pretty unwelcome and afraid for the rest of the evening. not a good experience!
