the ultimate way to show your love for your loud, pounding music taste. controlled violence. the thing about the mosh pit is noone will take offence at you whacking them in the face…(i personally congradulate those that get a good shot in) there are different type of “pits” you can partic-p-te in, here are a few.

closed pit: tight, hard to move and hard to breathe. a closed pit will usually happen during popular heavy songs like slipknot – duality or a s.o.a.d song.

open pit: generally the worst/best you can pick a target and reach them, throw them across the floor punch them, barge them. there’s enough room to just dive about punching everyone still causing little offece (do be prepared to be hit back…a lot)
songs that will get open pits are the less popular but heavy ones.
motograter music gathers a lot of open pits.

circle pit: the larger or stronger moshers or metal heads will run around in an empty circle punching those on the outside of the circle and pushing the runner infront until he either leaves or falls to be trodden on. these will happen on most slayer songs.

slam-dancing pits: created by “wooble” of wolverhmapton fame. one hand will be behind back at all times (usually holding your beer) and the other one will be swinging side to side, whaloping other slam-dancers and headbanging to yourself.
lamb of g-d – now you’ve got something to die for
is perfect to slam-dance to.

p-ss-take pits: maetal heads will enjoy poking fun at the emo music by doe-see-doeing and linking arms and swinging happily…some even girly-mosh in where they rest their heads on tachothers shoulders and flail their arms madly. this is where you generally ignore themusic and do stupid things while the emo’s dance.

any phisical damage done in a mosh pit should be “handshaked” away no hard feelings, enjoy
“i couldn’t breathe in the duality pit, totally squashed by mini’s again”

“omfg! did you see the open pits at motograter, some fat guy charged streight throught the middle at me!it was amazing.”

“you see me and wooble slam-dancing? i think we shifted a good few emmo’s”

“total p-ss-take pit to mcr, was quite amusing.”
a thing that takes place at metal concerts in which people basically kick the living sh-t out of each other.
“ohhh man, i got my ear ripped off at the hatebreed concert last night.”
mosh pits are when a group of headbangers or moshers or anything like that start to fight amongst them selfs.

this usaly includes:
throwing your arms around to protect your own personal sp-ce.
teaming up with a friend and spinning around so that you can both go flying into the crowd that soon gathers around.
frantic pushing and shoving to get into the middle of the pit and join in with the singing(but more likly screaming) of the lyrics.

i have encountered three forms of mosh pits, grudge pits(where you pick a foe and dont stop fighting with them untill the music carms down), open pits(where you can actually move and possibly hit other people), and closed pits(in these you can move very little)
go to any venue where rock music is being played and ask for any slipknot/killswitch music…or even lost prophets fake sound of progress
a place at a gig where you can dance with however the f-ck you want with a bunch of people you don’t know. the dancing will often include punches aimed in the air not at the person nearest to you however usually results in full contact. can be dangerous however everyone with a ticket should feel welcome in the mosh pit.
i’m not going in the moshpit tonight cuz i have a weak knee/some jock in the moshpit punched me in the mouth and just acted like nothing happened.
getting beat up in a fun way; people that like punk rock music run around in a circle and crash into each other for fun.
me and my friend had a mosh pit at the ramones concert. =d
formed by metalheads/rockers/moshers/punks as a form of dance and can (sometimes) be used as a highly effective death sentence for chavs
metalhead at concert: mosh pit!
jumping around, punching, kicking, and generally being violent to live music, usually heavy metal, punk rock, hardcore or anything fast and hard.

it is not an excuse to try and hurt people but was origionally formed due to heavy metallers trying to release some of the fustrations of life.

early punkers didnt mosh, they sk-nked, pogoed and put stanley knives in each others backs.
“dude! what happened to your arm?”

“some t-ss-r took a skateboard into the moshpit. pr-ck”

“sucks to be you man.”
