All right! So I had this crazy idea, and had to put it down! (For metalheads mostly)
Did you know there's people who'll go to a metal concert and won't mosh? Yes, its true! I mean, I respect everyone's opinion, but just standing there? Come on!
For those of you who don't know, or who love doing it, I'm about to teach you the right way to mosh!
First, you have to go to a metal concert. Get some friends or go alone.
I'm talking brutal stuff like all that remains, origin, dying fetus, impending doom, stuff that's hard and fast! And brutal!
Once your there and the bands started, you've got to do one of to things.
1. Stand there and look pretty, not doing anything, just watching the band and not obsorbing any energy.
2. The more odviace choice, stand there for a minit, obsorb the energy pumping from the members, and mosh to your hearts content!
Now, the proper way of moshing is as follows.
Go up to a person who's ether moving around or just standing there.
Don't get to close, but get within a good distance, and elbow them in the chest! Punch them in the back! Something so that they get moshing!
If they do the same thing to you, there a true metalhead and want a circle pit going!
If not, then there ether weird or need to be taught what a real mosh pit is! Rock on and tell me what you think! Mosh on metalheads!

Good points Metal Angel. This kicks ass Dude. This will serve the new comers and the losers that just like to stand there, or the losers who like to go to a Brittany Spears concert.

Ur, ok then. Lol. I confess this is highly amusing.
However, I'm a rocker, but we still create moshpits at Seether & Nonpoint shows. I'm always up front on the gate & I jump & dance, but the minute someone nails me (on purpose, not accidentally), the fists come out & I start choking them.

Speaking of ladies not being allowed to mosh (though you said they are allowed), I had one guy throwing a fit, pushing on me to get out of his way. He started screaming at me when I didn't move out of his way, so I jacked him in the ribs. He shut right up after that!

Hmm. Maybe it depends on the situation. But I think Ladies who want to mosh should! And that's cool as far as rock goes. I guess for me metal gives off more energy. Though I saw seather and they were amazing! So was Evanescence!

moshing is cool and all but that hardcore dancing has got to go.. If you want to do that shit go sign up for a fucking karate class or some shit.

I don't want to sound rude or anything, but couldn't you just get out of the way? You can always go to the back or avoid the person/people doing it. Just saying.

nope sorry i hang out up in front against the barricades. And ppl from my generation all agree that those fucking hardcore dancers with their high kicks and windmills and all that bull shit are ruining the mosh pits. There is one venue i know of that wont tolorate that shit and will not only kick you out but will turn you over to the cops and have you arrested for assault..

Oh. I see. Still, whenever I'm at a metal show or whatever, I always try to get some moshing in!

As do I. As a goth at a metal show, I always have something to prove. So, I get in there and knock people around. And I often get thrown about a bit myself. Oh, and girls are not exempt. If there is a hot looking girl at a metal show moshing, or even not moshing, I will personally shove her into the pit.
