When I was a teenager, I was pissed if I went to a show and there wasn't one. Now that I think about, it's just madness, and kind of silly.

White people, huh?

I don't understand them. Do people fight in them or just jump around angrily pushing each other?

you could always tell the mosh pit guys before the show even started

I made sure I was nowhere near them when they spontaneously started shoving each other and bumping into everyone

I always loved it when one would accidentally shove a bigger guy that wanted no part of them and the big guy proceeds to throw the mosher across the pit

Before the Mosh Pits there was Slam Dancing which was less violent. I enjoyed slam dancing. Moshing not so much.

They always have some shitty mosh pit happen at the shows my friends play. I get pissed because I have to be careful not to spill my beer.

Now that I'm an adult, I would never go for that type of thing. I'm a pretty relaxed guy, and I mostly like my entertainment to be relaxing. However, it worked for me when I was a 15 year old going to small time punk concerts. It was a good way to get out some of that teenage angst. Just a phase to go through, and I sure as hell am glad that I got through it.

Is there moshing at any shows these days? What changed? Is music less aggressive/powerful these days?

I honestly don't know, I haven't listened to heavy music in like 10 years.
