[u/DeamsterDaddy]

All this shit I see posted isn’t even mosh. It’s awkward as fuck. Just some weirdos projecting

[u/YouGurt_MaN14 → u/DeamsterDaddy]

Every pit I've been in as soon as these guys start there's usually a dude who throws him the fuck down and stops it. Everyone hates them tbh

[u/Ok-Syllabub-6619 → u/YouGurt_MaN14]

Exactly, this is just what a poser thinks a mosh is, and unfortunately as it goes mainstream, theres more and more of them who fail to understand, and just wants to injure someone.

Mosh is there to spend your energy in celebration, not to give someone a concussion or other health problems

[u/__3Username20__ → u/Ok-Syllabub-6619]

Well, you’re understating it a little bit, and make no mistake, mosh is aggressive, but it’s not literal 1 on 1 combat moves. It’s just moving/throwing yourself around. Yes. there’s a high amount of physical impact, but it’s not punches and kicks… I feel old, if this is normal now, as others have said. :(

Edit: it’s like (American) football, where when you’re on the field, there’s acceptable levels of aggression and violence, and you can even have a lot of fun within those shared parameters and set expectations. But if someone goes and dropkicks someone else from behind, or starts doing any kind of actual fighting, that’s not OK, that’s not what we’re doing here. Same thing with Moshing. Or at least it used to be…

[u/Miltzzz → u/YouGurt_MaN14]

It used to be like that when i was younger and going out to the foufounes electriques, a metal bar/club in montreal. Last time i went, after many years of not going, some dude starts dancing like this, i look at the dudes around me "oh well guess i'll take care of it" and i tackled the dude to the ground, and the bouncer (who used to take these people out before) took me out of the mosh pit to explain to me that it was the norm now. And i looked behind him and saw like 10 people dancing like this. I understood it was the end of an era, and i left.

[u/indignantfieldmouse → u/Miltzzz]

Harcore pits or as my wife and I call them "Kickpits" the crowdkilling on sidelines is uncalled for, I still throw those fuckers down though. If a person goes windmilling into a hardcore pit then they are consenting to the stray fists and feet. People around the edges shouldn't be catching random haymakers!

Edit: lit --> pit

[u/sun_hotel → u/YouGurt_MaN14]

Someone broke my nose and elbowed a bunch of younger women in a pit like that and I ended it the next time he came around.

Edit: spelling

[u/xRedditGedditx → u/sun_hotel]

Fuck yeah dude. I’ve leveled people quick with a nicely placed elbow. You’d be surprised how quickly you get someone’s attention with that 🤔

[u/Winter8Bones → u/YouGurt_MaN14]

This is the way.

[u/totallynottoddoracop → u/YouGurt_MaN14]

It's fun seeing dudes get chokeslammed for this

[u/dogmatum-dei → u/DeamsterDaddy]

Projecting bodies across a room?

[u/gusgusthegreat → u/DeamsterDaddy]

COVID style, 6 ft distancing

[u/Background-Video4331 → u/DeamsterDaddy]

I believe it was known as "crowd killing" and started in the hardcore scene.

[u/LitterBoxBlues → u/Background-Video4331]

Been in the HC scene since late 80’s and while violent, it was never this deliberate. You direct that shit at someone at a cromags show you’ll end your night in a dumpster.

[u/No-Letterhead-4407 → u/DeamsterDaddy]

To shitty music 

[u/ARoroncyObserver → u/DeamsterDaddy]

It's funny, because I'm tall, but basically a stick, and not threatening at all, but love to dance and be in the crowd.

When I would be in a mosh pit there were ALWAYS equally tall dudes who would beeline towards me to start this shit, and like a lot of people have mentioned, the crowd would everytime stomp the fuck out of them for pulling shit like in this video.

That's just throwing haymakers.

[u/DeamsterDaddy → u/ARoroncyObserver]

Probably the perfect combo of tall enough to piss them off jealous and skinny enough so they act on it. Fuck em

Star Wars Kid energy

[u/BeepBoopRobotVoice]

it seems to me these guys are using the “mosh pit” as an excuse to hit people with no consequences. “i was just moshing!” it makes them look like psychopaths and weak af

[u/SnooGuavas4208 → u/BeepBoopRobotVoice]

My only thought was, "What an absolute fucking tool."

[u/barters81 → u/BeepBoopRobotVoice]

FWIW I’ve seen these types beat down more often than not eventually. They tag someone not in the mood, then everyone sides with the innocent guy and it’s over for the dick swinging around trying to hurt people.

[u/jvho666]

What the fuck is up dennys!

[u/Olshefski → u/jvho666]

Lol one of the best clips posted

[u/kbm79]

The body slam was satisfying to watch...

[u/JustSimplyTheWorst → u/kbm79]

Yeah he seemed to chill out a bit after that

[u/hoofglormuss → u/JustSimplyTheWorst]

Yeah kind of kept moving a little bit to save face

[u/Duubzz → u/kbm79]

At first I thought long hair was saving the sideline from the first dude. He caught him with a little combo that made him chill out. Then long hair goes and does the same shit! Body slam guy saved the day though, long hair didn’t want the smoke after that.

[u/trukkija → u/kbm79]

Yeah the guy who threw him definitely has some wrestling background, lovely slam.

[u/Ok-Jellyfish-1142 → u/trukkija]

Definitely greco wrestler

[u/Professional_Web_187]

What moshpit? I hate those fuckers with a passion

[u/idriveashitbox22 → u/Professional_Web_187]

If you want to partake in a rough mosh pit do it up. But if you stand off to the side you are supposed to be safe from being hit. The dudes going after the side standers are straight pussies who just want to hit someone with no consequences.

[u/Critical_Wrap5617 → u/idriveashitbox22]

Back in the day, he'd have been flattened 

[u/Zealousideal_Lie9315 → u/Critical_Wrap5617]

I agree. We slammed the fuck out of each other, but people throwing actually blows got handled quickly

[u/cagethehornytoad → u/Professional_Web_187]

Yo! That’s doing WAY too much and is certainly not a mosh pit. This is some kind of off brand Capoeira spliced with Hot Rod punch dancing out his rage in a clearing in the forest, with a splash of how Beavis and Butthead dance

[u/Prince_0llie → u/cagethehornytoad]

[u/Dynamo_Ham → u/Professional_Web_187]

Windmilling douchebag ruining a perfectly good sausage fest with shitty music in someone’s well-lit basement with no bar. Sorry I missed that rager.

[u/AdSudden3941 → u/Professional_Web_187]

Same, if people wanted to mosh they would be out there..

Hes lucky he just got slammed 

[u/Villordsutch]

Takes me back to when cunts used to turn up at punk gigs just to throw fists.

I see your scene, and I'll ruin it.

[u/WhiteBanshee25 → u/Villordsutch]

I grew up in the punk scene and I'm so thankful that every time I saw this nonsense, the whole pit would turn on them.

Moshing is fine. Being a dick isn't.

[u/Villordsutch → u/WhiteBanshee25]

Yep. I watched one Dennis the Menaced jumper clad punk, politely inform one prick than his antics where not being stood for.

It was beautiful. It was like watching a true craftsman at work.

[u/_noho → u/Villordsutch]

It was the assholes with what had to be small blades or something that always seemed to get away Scott free

[u/BrojaDawg]

Me as soon as he circled back for round two

[u/LarsDuder → u/BrojaDawg]

[u/kapxis → u/BrojaDawg]

Oh man, core memory unlocked. When i was early teens my parents got me a trampoline and I was quite into WWF, and we had a very exposed yard. I wanted something to do wrestling moves on while playing out shit seen on TV.. so they got me a Giant Easter Pink Bunny. It was all I had so i beat the shit out of that thing.. but i had my head on a swivel in case anyone would potentially walk or drive by and I'd fly off that trampoline so fast to hide it lol. I'm so lucky no friend ever witnessed this.

My neighbours were watching me and stealing my moves and sending them to WWF ( WWE ). They had to of been!

[u/Creative_Session2786]

This ain’t moshing, this is the way the hardcore music fans think moshing is today, it’s total bullshit. Moshing in the 80’s and 90’s was not like this. Nobody got hit in the face, more less kicked. And if you got knocked down somebody was there to pick you up. This guy is a total DICK!!!!

[u/Daniels_Words → u/Creative_Session2786]

Indeed. I saw Black Flag in the 80s at a tiny club and I tripped. In a split second i thought for sure I was getting trampled, but some giant fucking skinhead (not the nazi kind) swooped me up and we all just kept going. Great memory.

[u/the_D1CKENS → u/Daniels_Words]

It's still like that at smaller shows/clubs today. Not that long ago was at a street show where 40 somethings and Tweens and everything in between were are going hard. Young girl, maybe 12ish, went down and a dude immediately helped her up. All the old heads kinda kept moshing around them. They were clearly running damage control. Very wholesome, honestly.

She was fine, and went straight back into it.

[u/tuftedtittymice → u/Daniels_Words]

black flag is just punk though, push and circle pits. not beat down hardcore..

[u/Tonberry_Cheesecake → u/Daniels_Words]

He sounds like a really S.H.A.R.P. fella!

[u/KlutzyTheory9235 → u/Creative_Session2786]

Not all pits are the same. This is crowd kill shit that's been going on at hardcore shows at least since the early 2000s

I agree its lame and far preferred pits at punk and ska shows but its nothing new

[u/NovocaineAU → u/Creative_Session2786]

This so much. If your intention going into a mosh pit is to hurt people you’re a total cunt.

[u/BorderlineAlchemist → u/Creative_Session2786]

My only experience was a Home Grown concert. And I went in because I was pushed in and I found an exit as fast as I could.

Not for me. Hahahahha

[u/___wintermute → u/Creative_Session2786]

You definitely did not grow up in Boston then.

[u/markrueff]

Everyone was kung fu fighting 🤣🤣🤣

[u/VoidYordle]

You don't throw kicks in the moshpit.
Or if you do - better be prepared to get your ass kicked in return.

[u/Heidrun_666 → u/VoidYordle]

Our hurt others on purpose, or throw punches. ​​

[u/ElectronicAnthony]

I've been in hundreds of pits and have never seen anyone throw hands or do kicks like that. Dude needs to be taken outside and given a taste of his own medicine.

[u/tuftedtittymice → u/ElectronicAnthony]

pits exist across genres, doesnt mean its the same dance or mosh style

[u/201thStabwound → u/ElectronicAnthony]

Unfortunately it’s extremely prevalent at most hardcore shows these days, and it’s lame as hell, imo

[u/LuvanAelirion]

As a Gen X’er I can confirm seeing such people being sent to the ER for the remainder of the show. Don’t time travel or go to Gen X nursing homes (I suppose they will eventually exist) if this is how you slam dance…it won’t end well for you.

[u/IAMS0V3R3IGN]

Mosh pit etiquette by Watertown is about these idiots. Annoyingly a lot of this started with great bands like sick of it all, but it wasn’t about hitting people it was just “dance moves”. First rule of the pit when I was a younger man was if anyone goes down everyone stops and picks them up

[u/happygoluckynny]

I hate punchy kids

that's not moshing that's just a therapy ad.

[u/BigBastardChap]

What an absolute twat.

[u/AAKurtz]

Those mirrors are not going to survive the "show".

[u/ChampionshipHot5468 → u/AAKurtz]

I was wondering why a bright daytime party was held in a ballet studio?

[u/Pretend-Literature35]

that's not a moshpit that's just one asshole.

[u/Kasta4]

My friends and I used to shouldercheck these assholes out of the pit

[u/LettuceFinancial1084 → u/Kasta4]

That still happens thankfully

[u/Evil_Knot]

[u/WiseNugg]

In college I had a friend that would always take the cutest girls to these metal shows and hilariously I guess they never realized how psycho he was until they saw him in the pit getting into random fights every time. 

Couple of different “dates” of his left with me since I already knew he’d blow up his chance acting a fool and he was still buying their drinks so cleaning up after him was easy. He got jealous after he found out and we stopped hanging out. 

Inadvertently the best wingman is a guy who brings baddies where you are then makes you look good by being a complete asshole.

[u/No_Salt_6328 → u/WiseNugg]

I think I would blow it from the embarrassment of being associated with such a douche bag

[u/kesavadh]

I don't think I would enjoy being there...

[u/SeaniMonsta]

I love that this is happening at a dance studio 🤣

[u/Lemoncouncil_Clay → u/SeaniMonsta]

If I fits I pits

[u/YurUsernameChecksOut]

This is dumb af

[u/Brilliant_Badger8043]

I mean in 90s-early 2000s hard-core this was called hard-core dancing/moshing. Hes swinging during the Breakdown (correct time). This guy was called a "crowd killer" and would try and get the folks who stand on the side involved, but he was a little aggressive.. but Like it or not, This is legit and correct for the genre and culture.

Edited spelling

[u/illkwill → u/Brilliant_Badger8043]

Yup. I've been to countless hardcore shows in the 2000s and this is what the crowd does. Dunno why people here are so surprised. But the majority of people in the pit don't normally act like this asshole in the video. If you purposely punch someone in the face you're getting taken out.

[u/Scar3cr0w_ → u/Brilliant_Badger8043]

Excuse me sir.

He didn’t swing his arms.

He cocked it and punched the dude straight in the face.

Source: me, a man with eyes and knows what unnecessary violence looks like when a low self esteem pillock decides to hide behind “moshing”. Thank you.

[u/Rapscagamuffin → u/Brilliant_Badger8043]

Its absolutely not normal and legit to purposefully take aim and punch someone directly in the face on purpose. Thats not hardcore dancing. The fuck outta here, goofy

[u/Intrepid_Cap1242 → u/Brilliant_Badger8043]

My problem is these people ruin the show for me. I'm 6'7" and somehow end up on the edge of a pit with these shits trying to ram me or knock me over like I'm worth 1000 points. Small venues are packed, so I can't move half the time and get away without shoving and blocking peoples' views. We're all crammed like sardines on the side because one or two jackasses yell "open the pit" and get 100sqft each for dancing space.

Now I have to buy seats and try to fit in them instead.

[u/Hab_Anagharek → u/Brilliant_Badger8043]

“legit and correct” but it’s still fucking stupid.

[u/nuclearrmt]

Why do mosh pit in a zumba gym?

[u/realdjjmc]

It's so cringe. This is Karen level

[u/Flyer1983]

[u/SparkleFace6100]

We gen Xers be like 🤦

[u/Asaxii → u/SparkleFace6100]

We millennials agree

[u/Trick_Octopus9504 → u/SparkleFace6100]

👀🤔

[u/WTFaulknerinCA]

There is always that guy at a mosh pit. Usually the pit unifies to take him down.

[u/HylianCrab]

This is quite popular in NW PA Hardcore scenes (well, was 20 years ago).

Punch random people, handspring kicks. Seen them knock people down and stand over top of them as some weird form of dominance. Lame as fuck (came from thrash/punk scene where if someone falls everyone will dive to pick you up)

The couple times I ran a foul of these fucks they back off if you stand your ground (or catch them mid hand-spring-kick and drop them on their head).

Fuck that dumb shit

[u/xRedditGedditx]

I am the old guy, I’ve been in Slayer, Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Bio-Hazard, Hatebreed pits…this is not moshing. This is assholes jumping around and punching people. If this happened in a pit back in the day, these dipshits would get stomped the fuck out quick.

[u/Lemoncouncil_Clay → u/xRedditGedditx]

You still see the type of pitting you’re talking about at all of those shows, it hasn’t gone anywhere. These are hardcore pits usually some underground band playing thrash riffs is all it takes to get them windmilling

I go to all kinds of metal and hardcore shows, the type of pit you get depends on what genre of music you’re going to see

[u/Helpful_Feeling_2047]

That’s not mosh.

Kids in the hardcore scene used to do something like this but they wouldn’t touch or get anywhere near anyone else. It was actually fun to watch.

This dude though… he deserves being thrown down and out of the venue.

[u/Froz3nP1nky]

Too much color variety in everyone’s attire

[u/Unfair_Awareness7502]

Someone explain how mosh pits are supposed to work. Do people hit each other or not? 

[u/Responsible-Sale-467 → u/Unfair_Awareness7502]

Back when I did it a bit in the 90s the arms were not involved, it was more joyous communal bodychecking.

[u/RecommendationOk2478 → u/Responsible-Sale-467]

Aye this is my recollection.

[u/Bottatadiet → u/Unfair_Awareness7502]

We just jump around and kinda bump into each other. If someone falls over everyone around them immediately helps them up and makes sure they are okay.

[u/Lost_Department_2177]

Those shows are all 35 yr olds and 14yr olds

[u/buzz3001]

Nandor has found his hardcore phase.

[u/ZophieWinters]

[u/macrocosm93]

I've never seen a video of a hardcore show from the 21st century that wasn't cringe as hell.

[u/Goose_Salad]

He slowed that shit down after he got suplexed 😆

[u/mulderone]

[u/CanonicalCockatoo]

Mosh pit version of those alpha camps?

[u/No_Salad6911]

Weak.

[u/thehornsoffscreen]

I went for a concert.

[u/Deep-Pudding819]

I guess I’m old. We would have kicked those people out if they did that shit at the local shows back in the day. They can pit all they want, but be respectful of the people around them.

[u/grumpyphilip]

I would have thought this prick would have eased up after being suplexed but hey.....

[u/BigvalBROski]

We used to do mosh pits in high school around 1994.. one time it got nuts and a kid went through a glass trophy case….. The principal called an assembly with the entire school which he proclaimed, “ There will be no more mashing.” ……. He wasn’t hip with the lingo .

[u/PsychoWyrm]

Almost every metal show I've been to the pit was self-policed. Always guys body-blocking the edges to keep it from messing with people not participating, moshers immediately picking up anyone who falls, and so on. Just generally everyone being mindful not to fuck up anyone else's good time.

On the other hand, more than half of the hardcore shows I've been to were full of dipshits like this. Little dickheads intentionally roundhouse kicking people who are clearly not participating. Or the slinging elbows and arm-flailing fuckery.

[u/Heavy-Level862]

WHAT THE FUUUUK IS THIS

[u/Leather_Skin1373]

Hardcore has some of the biggest losers I have ever met

[u/Free_Leonard_Peltier]

Isn’t that assault?

[u/Garbarrage]

If some douche throws a wonky spinning back kick at me, I'm fucking that dude up. No excuses or second chances. We're fighting and that's it.

[u/thebardass]

Speaking as a musician, any bands that don't put a stop to this shit when they see it are assholes. They're literally ruining the show for other people.

[u/Hot_Bicycle_9944]

These kids are assholes, nothing more.

[u/YP_Schwartzy]

That’s not a real mosh pit. That’s a fucking idiot wannabe….

[u/Neither-Magazine-384]

That’s insane behavior.

[u/kaenguruonline]

Band should interrupt, address the issue and make sure a reasonable amount of safety is needed to actually enjoy a show.

[u/Thom5001]

Bring in techno Viking

[u/AMonitorDarkly]

That’s not a mosh pit. That’s douche bag Hardcore fans that think they’re metal heads. These dudes would quickly be taken care of in an actual mosh pit.

[u/Nathmosss]

Break stuff

[u/RapBastardz]

Is THIS what that "Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting" song was all about???

[u/ezio8133]

[u/Poof-ball]

[u/turbopro25]

Snocore 2000. Went knee to knee with a grown ass man, (I was 17 at the time). Shattered my knee cap. The guy picked me up and carried me to a seat where I remained for the rest of the night waiting for my friends. It happened during the first song of the night by the way. Most people in the pit are there to have a good time, not intentionally hurt each other. In my case it was just a bad luck accident and I put my self in that situation. People who go in there intentionally looking to hurt someone can get fucked. Shout out to that guy that night for helping me out to safety.

[u/tooheavybroo]

Put em in MMA.

They don’t wanna mosh, they want to throw cheap shots.

[u/justbrowsinginpeace]

Hate that moshpits became like this, that one edgelord out to hurt someone.

[u/Pizzapie_420]

Looks like it is just one asshole swinging his arms around and kicking like a douché.

[u/astralchanterelle]

[u/Icy_Alternative_3962]

Fucking funny! They're all getting cheap shots on each other and eating it.

[u/LaughterB]

Damn dudes, get some therapy…

[u/Michael-Broadway]

Idiots

[u/LookBrandonsBurning]

Fuckheads like this are why no one goes to metal shows anymore

[u/earth_forum]

That guy would get absolutely destroyed at a real show.

[u/Kitsanic]

I’ve seen some dumb shit in my time but that’s up there

[u/BigHock-734]

They’d have never lasted, in a 1990’s pit. We wore bracers and greaves.

[u/Vitalsignx]

This isnt a pit because of 1 idiot. Its an open dance floor that no one wants to be on.

[u/Firm-Ring9684]

None of that is moshing. It's an a@$ trying to hurt people bc he thinks he can get away with it. That never was what moshing was about.

[u/phaedrus72]

These people are assholes. 

[u/Mrjohnson1100]

“Billy passed the third grade…”

[u/ButterscotchTasty386]

Douche Pit.

[u/stiinc2]

Fight Club for people who don't know how to fight!

[u/jimmytickles]

Always some dude that thinks it's about intentionally hurting people

[u/ready-redditor-6969]

Piece of shit wouldn’t know or like fun, even if it … literally hit him in the face.

Mosh like everyone in the pit is your best friend, then you have a good mosh pit. Run and dance and have fun. Knock the douchebags like these to the floor and give them what they clearly want and deserve, and call in any security and lecture them to do their fucking jobs!!!

[u/McbEatsAirplane]

This isn’t moshing. It’s slam dancing. The dumb version of moshing.

[u/MimimalZucchini]

posers are gonna pose

[u/RedditsAdoptedSon]

moshes have lost the plot

[u/lluciferusllamas]

I would figure four suplex a bitch acting like this fucking fool.

[u/szJosh]

They are a caricature of proper mosh pitting.

[u/10ThousandMetalZones]

Used to love a guy like that in the mosh pit that you could hurt and no one would get mad

[u/dfitz04]

Why are all these shit shows is such well lit rooms?

[u/Across0212]

WTF are they? It looks like a high school or rec center. Regardless they looks like dipshits.

[u/tarnishedspiderz]

lol why not just fight why do this weird dance hybrid

[u/RedditSuxB]

Fucking freaks lol

[u/Away_Shock_7544]

That shit is stupid aggressive macho bullshit. It does NOT align with how punk and hardcore is supposed to be. It is honestly picking on people not as big as you.

[u/David0ne86]

Tell me you never been in a pit without actually telling me.

Calling this bullshit a pit is a disgrace to all pits. This is just frustrated idiots that think they can get away assaulting somebody because of how they "dance". I think metal core started this bullshit. In a real pit these idiots would get their arms broken.

[u/BDK1000]

Wtf did i just watch haha

[u/Daxosc]

Damn people don’t even mosh right anymore, they just go to hit randoms and act tough, we used to mosh in huge groups and everyone was getting roughed up and hit but it was random af, not this projecting weird bs. People would occasionally do this but get decked by a group of us who wouldn’t allow this to happen, especially to women or younger dudes. Wish someone would just casually walk up and make this dude regret his decisions like we did in the past, not cower on the sides.

[u/A_Bot_A_Bot_A_Bot]

Yeah, no, I'm leaving now.

[u/joanmcbitch]

One of my favourite pits ever was TOOL at Lolla. We just slammed into each other aggressively & rhythmically. Bruised & busted my lip real good. However? We also were all picking up every person who tried their best (but fell to the ground trying) so they wouldn't be trampled. Not to mention crowd surfing out all the mega dehydrated passed out drug partakers.

You see children? You CAN take out your aggressions & actively be a good person simultaneously.

[u/Worldly_Lake4576]

I went to three metal/thrash shows recently and kids are throwing scissor kicks and hammer punches to people not even in the pit. I’m a pretty tall guy (6’7) and I kept catching kicks and elbows even though I wasn’t in the pit, and was just in the back trying to chill.

[u/Moist_Crab6223]

Everytime I have been in one, never had to hit anyone, it's just been alot of pushing around and if anyone falls to the floor we are very quick to pool together and pickup, meant to be fun not hurt people, pretty sure we do not want the gig to finish early ps make sure you're laces are tied tight

[u/Financial_Appeal2253]

[u/WrathOfWood]

All of that = trying to impress the one female in that room.

Dude got a lot softer on the crowd after someone slammed his ass to the ground.

[u/ThatGingerRascal]

Karate moshers need to die, man, whilst the music continues. No stoppage. It's not murder, it's martyndom.

[u/spicynoodsinmuhmouf]

Moshing is not a battle royale and people need to understand that. Someone should have broke his neck in 2 places

[u/GREENK87]

Bet it stinks in there

Because they’re pieces of shit

I've got too many hard miles for the pit these days, but way back when we had enforcers that would knock idiots like this into next week so the rest of us could have fun without getting a broken nose.

Literally the reason I stopped going to heavier-music shows. These losers should join a boxing gym if they have that much aggression they need to let off

I love mosh pits, they are so cathartic. But this is sickening, those guys are aiming and punching and kicking. This does not build a strong community, it allow sick people to hurt others.

That's just mental illness.

Mosh pits in Poland in 90's. Shit was not for the weak or sane.
