I can see why young people mosh. I used to do it when I was like 15, but back then moshing was VERY different than it is now. Still, even then I'd leave shows asking people what the band played! Hahaha.
You just can't watch the show while moshing, and nowadays you can't watch the show with other people moshing because they're retarded! I remember I was at a 311 show last year with my friend Jill and her sister. 311!! Who fucking moshes at a 311 show?!?!
Halfway into the first song off to my left I see two dudes slowly getting more and more animated, then slowly people started backing away, giving them room to be idiots. Then BOOM! They went nuts! Then a bunch of other doppleganger retards joined in! It was a retard frenzy!!! Whatever. I weigh 250lbs, you're not moving me around.
But then one jackass slammed into Jill and Dawn! THAT set me into a retard frenzy! I fucked some people up quick! It all ended with me choke-slamming the guy that hit them into the ground (concrete) and yelling at him. He, of course, couldn't hear a word I said over the music, but he, and everyone else, saw how pissed I was. You don't fuck with my female friends! I'll fuck you up quick.
No one moshed near us for the rest of the show!

I was like, "I'm a baaaaaad muthafucka!"
So, in conclusion, moshing is gay.
I just did it a few weeks ago and I am 37. I like it but I woudn't fucking mosh to Opeth or some Power Metal band like these idiots do. Also that kung fu bullshit the dumb ass hardcore kids do is bullshit. Moshing is about getting it all out, not being a lame ass and starting a fight or kicking someone in the head, at least at Metal shows, now your hardcore shows, Slayer and some death core and punk band I stay the fuck away from the pit for that cos you are just asking for it. Anyways, I can only do it once a year now that I am an old man and it just hurts to much.
Best fucking pit I was ever in, def Soilent Green and Napalm Death, cool people, crowd surfed Ben Falgaust and got thrown over an amp and stepped on by him to and he picked me, cool shit.....
Worst, fucking Slayer during the Clash of the Titans show, knee to knee with some skin head fucker and I couldn't walk for like a day after that, just fucking nasty at Slayer shows back then.
