Do people not know what moshing is anymore
To preface: I am NOT talking about those that push their way to the front for a better view then never move. That is rude and inconsiderate. But had a few younger folks at the seattle show get upset at me and those around me for moshing, calling us “insane” or “no one else is bouncing around you need to stop”. Genuinely so confused when this was in the center of the pit. If you are there you are going to get bumped into and roughed up a little.
I’ve seen pits get too crazy and this didn’t seem like that either from where I was. People were very respectful and checking in on each other/helping those up that fell (which happens! just be aware of it and help when it does!)
Granted I was near back middle and not near the crowd crushing at the front.. so I can’t speak on that. If people are punching and ripping stuff off of you that is a step too far.
Thoughts on this? I’ve never had a mosh pit crowd be like this.
