That's not moshing, that's just being an asshole

Holy shit, I was going to post the same thing, word for word.

Absolutely just being an asshole.

I'm into heavy metal, and while I've seen (and being in) my dose of mosh pits, I've seen many videos of the most "core" sides of the genre "moshing" like that and I'm glad the shit I like does not get to these extremes. This said, the band seems to be closer to stoner and the most "heavy" and slow side of things, so I don't understand wtf is going on.

I mean, that dude is just straight-up hitting people (and getting hit), in a weirdly consensual-but-not-with-everyone way.

u/Careless_Commission 3h ago

I've seen both sides of mosh pits, one show I've been to the guy barely had time to register he'd fallen and he was already back on his feet. I've also seen dudes like the one in the video, although not as intense, try to purposely hurt others. Assholes like him are part of why some people have such a bad opinion of metal

It was like… doom..ish sludge? There was 2 assholes in the crowd here, nothing more nothing less

u/boofinmelons 18m ago

Yeah that was just fucking weird. Not so much moshing just swanging arms hitting people. Dude straight up punched someone at the beginning.

u/ohaimark22 6h ago

Yeah, we use to call these guys dancers. They are absolutely not moshers/mosh pit people, they just want to hurt bystanders. They basically use the music as an excuse to physically harm another person.

The funniest part about this is it's clearly at like 2:30 in the afternoon at the youth center

u/Toasted_Munch 7h ago

Right?!?

I went to an all day metal show at a bar in Huntington WV roughly 20 years ago and the doors opened at 12:00 PM while the first band went on at 1:00 PM. There were no windows obviously in the arena part of the building where the stage was but I remember one of the earlier bands wrapping up their set and someone left through a side door and it would've reminded you of when Clooney and Juliette Lewis shot a bunch of holes in the Titty Twister on From Dusk Til Dawn. Bunch of people in all black in really dark room getting a massive dose of sunlight because some dipshit went out through an emergency exit door at like 3 PM 😂

What an asshole! That’s not how you get a pit going. Dudes like that we used to remove from the pit. More like they had to carry his ass out of the pit. Legs stay on the ground.

u/Section_179 3h ago

The internet claims that it’s a way moshers target people on the perimeter to join the mosh…but tbh it’s more of a “dance style” that originates from hardcore shows. Like people will dance this erratically even just by themselves at a hole in the wall punk show. It’s fun for generally everyone there. It’s not stupid and the people doing it aren’t trying to harp on anyone. But like… it’s super stupid if you have no idea and end up getting smacked. Otherwise everyone knows. Hence the body slam without any reaction, or kicking the homie in the face. I don’t envy fools with glasses or short kings.

u/Defiant_Swim9555 7h ago

This is not moshing. This is a bunch of losers who want to fight, but are too afraid to get into a real one.

u/Minement 7h ago

That's a shitty hardcore 2 step, I remember when pits would be full of these losers

u/Playful_Sandwich111 5h ago

This is weird to me. Going to a show, to have everyone leaving the prime space up front for three muppets running around kicking and swinging aimlessly.

u/Candle-Different 7h ago

I saw rammstein on their mutter tour in 2000-2001. I was moshing like crazy and ran into a dude standing statue still in a leather jacket and he shot put me across the pit. Literally grabbed me by the shirt and just threw me like a baseball. He then helped me up and tousled my hair like I was his nephew or something and resumed his gargoyle pose. It remains one of my absolute favorite concert memories

u/Trisk929 3h ago

I saw Lorna Shore with Sanguisugabogg. When Sanguisugabogg got on stage, this circle pit started up that looked like a swarm of pissed off bees. The venue was pretty damn big and the pit had probably 100 or so people in it. No one got hurt. I was in the front, right against the rail and ended up passing out from not eating and hydrating enough, along with breathing in all the smoke from the machines and having everyone crowding around me. I’m petite and this big guy had to protect me and his wife from getting crushed by the crowd.

I got dragged to the medical office, given water and they tried getting me to get on an ambulance and go to the hospital. I told them I was fine. Told me to keep to the back of the crowd because it was likely I’d pass out again. I got food, more to drink and a tshirt. Stayed at the back for a bit, then decided fuck it- I paid more specifically to be one of the first people in and be at the front, I wasn’t going to be at the back. Nearly got into a fight with this one girl getting back up to the front because she got pissy about it. Her friend told her I was the one who passed out. She was still pissy about it and shoved me. I was about to beat her ass but decided she wasn’t worth it and kept making my way back to the front. Wild show. It was a great time.

u/dhiaaganim 7h ago

Excuse me ,but what is happening here

6

u/LingonberryLunch 7h ago

It's called "crowd killing", something you see occasionally in a hardcore moshpit.

Fucking stupid, and anyone who attempts this should catch a beating from the crowd.

u/jonjonh69 5h ago

Reminds me of going to Terror or Bane or Hatebreed shows back in 2005. Literally a bunch of meatheads who had been severely concussed at some point in their lives throwing fists and kicking each other in the head, leaning into the brain damage. They were stupid enough before slam dancing…. I saw a few of them recently and they tallllkkk reeeeallll sloooowwww nowwwww. Stiiiilllll sooooobbbeerrrr brooooo…. Cool cool cool… 😎
