Rules of Moshing

Anyone that would obey a rule that is just someone asking nicely wouldn't do it in the first place.
I don't seriously endorse that exception rule, though. I don't trust drunks to have that kind of judgement.

I am a 5 foot 1 girl who frequently goes into the pit and i have these following opinions about shows and mosh pits.
1. Piggybacking is awesome if it is a girl on the back or a smaller guy
2. Stage diving is fine with certain conditions. I always end up at the front of the stage so i suffer the most from the stage divers. If you are over 6 foot and are either muscular or fat, STAY ON THE GROUND. Smaller guys and females are fine.
3. Someone falls, yes, pick them up, however I don't feel this needs to be listed because it seems to be an unspoken rule that everyone seems to follow.
4. I am a female, I WANT to be in the pit if I am in it, and I am at the show to enjoy the music and the environment...not to get hit on by drunk ass guys or to be groped.
A. Female molestation is a problem however I have never had an issue with it when I was stage diving. Men have a tendency to come up behind me when I am near the front of the stage and try to take advantage.
5. If you DON'T want to face the possibility of being hit into or touched, DO NOT STAND near the PIT!
6. SCREW JOCK MOSHING, circle pits are the way to go. (This includes no swinging, hitting or gay ass hardcore dancing) It messes up the flow
7. Above all, if you accidentally get hit,elbowed,tripped,ect. LET IT GO...you have to expect to get a little roughed up.

Mosh pits are great fun, often ruined by dickheads who don't quite understand what it's all about. The aim of the pit isn't to hurt people. It's usually hardcore or metalcore kids who think that it's a great idea to start punching people from behind or kicking them, or people who just show up for a fight when you're at local gigs.

Best mosh pit I ever jumped into was an Iggy & The Stooges show in 2007. Lots of old mexican punks, and they knew how to run a mosh pit right.

One weird thing that happened to me at a live show (not a pit) was this girl kept rubbing up against me and then giving me these horrified looks like I molested her. And I was like, "look, it's not like I'm molesting you, I'm just standing here and yr the one rubbing up against me. I'm not doing anything. It's all you." She only spoke Italian, was really short, and was relatively hot. It was really weird. Not a mosh pit story, though.
Anyway, I'm not a fan of mosh pits, but I do enjoy it when the show gets somewhat rowdy. Not moshing, but lots of energetic jumping and dancing. That's good fun.
