Ska!

KharBevNor:
I don't really like full-on pits, they do note bode well for my accessories, my glasses or my home-modified clothes. I tend to move forward into the crush, preferably to get headbanging on the front row, or failing that the 'pogo zone', or just head back to the bar.

That said, in a small enough venue after a few drinks I can create a zone of utter terror into which all but the bravest fear to tread, because that's when I start thrashing and doing the Ceilidh, at the same time. If there's poles, and I'm drunk, I also sometimes work in a bit of pole-dancing, which apparently is disturbing, no doubt due to the fact that I'm a heavily built 6'1" male who wears things like corpsepaint or gas masks to shows.

heretic:
i love both moshing and skanking.
as for mosh pits, the only ones i didn't like were at ozzfest, when the music wasn't good enough to warrent full on package of the stage, but good enough to get to the crowd. these were the one with big guys just looking to punch little guys like me in the head. this is no fun. i don't mind getting punched in the head, but when it's intentional it's no fun.
usually i can hold my own because i go into "punk mode" which is 'move as fast and as much as you can' and because i'm so small, when i get hit i just fly instead of getting hurt

Se7en:
A good mosh is fun. I remember at one festival, the circle pit went all the way round the sound stage.

My Aim Is True:
I moshed last night. That is rare for me these days.

I could probably listen to songs like Toxic Toast forever.

their songs really really really do NOTHING for me. they're as vanilla as ska gets. the horn melodies are incredibly uninspired and generic as it gets.

--- Quote from: Condition Oakland ---Didn't the superspecs stop calling themselves ska? I don't know what it was when I saw them at Bloomfield Ave a while ago, but one of their songs was called something like "crying into a bleeding corpse." I um... yeah... bleeding corpse and all that...
--- End quote ---

and yeah i did notice them slowly drifting from the genre. their latest demo that i got from them, seems more rock then ska, but hey, they did play at Ska Is Dead.

i don't understand moshing at all. ugh, hell, moshing at a ska show ... i can't describe how idiotic it is.
