Mosh Pit and Stage Diving Etiquette

Музыка

Moshing, stage diving, the climb of life, the wall of death, and crowdsurfing are all fun, but there are unwritten rules that should be known. The important thing is to watch what's going on around you and stay in a good mood among other things. If I missed anything, please let me know in the comments!

    While I don't think I would do something so impulsive and potentially dangerous today, this happened at an Anthrax show when I was young: I wasn't anywhere near a pit and some rando grabbed my ass. He gave me a watcha-gonna-do-about-it creepy look and I went to deck him. But I missed, and punched a beer out of another guy's hand. I apologized and offered to buy him another one. But he said "Not needed- worth it."

    @@mreddyfeelgood Hey if you want to try you can just minimize the risks by keeping in mind what he said in this video. But also maybe store all items that could break/hurt you/ immobilized you/ could be lost or whatever before trying to get into the pit. This will lower your concern for sure. And most importantly: Have a glance at the general atmosphere and the people involved. Does it look fun to them or are they just pushing each other around in a more brutal manner? Does it look like people are about to fight? And of course, how brutal is the music itself? I've been in my first pit last year (we actually started it) and it was super fun, I've seen pits that were almost cute because of how much people were caring for each other's safety and also got knocked over and started bleeding within the first 3 seconds of a wall of death (which was absolutely epic). Have fun!

Everyone around helped separate the two guys, but it is only a reminder of how, at the same time that some people respect the rules and want everyone around to have a good time, some just lack some common sense.

    As a girl who regularly goes to moshpits - thank you for this! :D But I gotta say, so far I got good experiences for the most part. But sure, it happens every now and then that someone touches where they shouldn't. The worst was couple years ago when a guy actually grabbed my ass and boobs and SQUEEZED and refused to let go. But then as horrible and disgusting it was, it was also kinda unbelieveable cause other guys around saw it and, like, IMMEDIATELY came to my rescue as a whole army of knights in shining ar... ahem, in black shirts, torn jeans and dirty boots. They were seconds away from kicking his ass too, but he bolted when he realized what trouble he got himself into. :D

Sometimes I want to see the show and unless I'm really up front I can see or breathe and armpits aren't the kind of pits I'm into. I've found that people are pretty considerate in the pit and I've been helped up after falling and hoisted up gallantly to crowd surf and apart from the occasional kick in the head I've never had a bad injury.

    HxC means "hardcore". It started in the early 80s with bands like Black Flag and Minor Threat. During the 90s, bands such as Converge and Earth Crisis began to combine hardcore with elements of metal, and in the early 2000s metalcore became a real thing (As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, early A7X). The "karate dancing" I'm talking about is a style of moshing common in HxC music involving aggressive dance moves (the "two-step", the "picking up change", the "spin-kick", etc.) I can't stand it, because many people who partake in this have no clear understanding of the etiquette involved in it (basic decent respect). But then dumb emo bands like Asking Alexandria fucked up metalcore beyond belief. And now stupid scene kids are going to metal shows and acting like fucking douchebags in the pit. If they wanna do that at Warped Tour, fine whatever. But don't come to a fucking death metal show and start two stepping. And I personally like hardcore and older metalcore, and think it's a very good combination of metal's heaviness and post-hardcore's emotion. But once you get to 2008 and on, it's all just breakdowns, skinny jeans, and jailbait fangirls.

I was in the pit for 30 seconds and I was pinned to the ground by guess who? A 150 kg motherfucker. Other time, it was my boyfriend who almost broke my arm at a punk gig. I've noticed a thing that in bigger pits (in like big festivals and concerts) people are generally nicer and know more about the pit etiquette. Even if I'm the only female there, they won't do anything inappropriate. On the other hand, small gigs in small towns tend to be very agressive and the etiquette there is non-existent. Few moths back I broke some guys nose because he wanted to drag my cute non-metalhead girlfriends into the pit (I know that motherfucker and he does that everytime I'm in that club for the concert). People, please, be at least aware of the fact, that NOT ALL females are as strong as you or as agressive.

    I did mosh pits as far as i can remember. Im close to 40 now and these days are behind me, still if i see people fall down or start a fight I tend to either break em or use myself to block the raging crowd to pick up the ones who fell down. New kids have to learn that we are all there for fun, not to get into anything serious. Most of people i moshed with ended in having drinks after then show and majority of them are good people. However there are exceptions, like in all things. And for the part with girls, it varies from girl to girl. Us guys are always nuts. Girls can be crazy, and less so - but they arent tough as we are. Just hope new generations will know that and play nice :) Its always nice to see girls in the pit. You have my respect! \m/_ _\m/

    I'm 47 and havent really gone in to a mosh pit for about 10 years now (well not much anyway) but since I have lots of knee injuries I always found that I would be super-careful not to take a sideways hit so I would hunch down a bit and sort of stand my ground. As a result I always found that younger or smaller or females moshers would gravitate around me as I was sort of able to provide a bit of shelter!! I was always happy enough to provide this service!!

    I was at Mayhem fest a few years ago and Body Count played on the Sumerian Records stage, their set ended and Corpse played directly after BC on the stage right next to the Sumerian stage. It was one of the coolest pit experiences of my life. To go from Body Count to Corpse was awesome. It was also cool to see Ice-T at the side of the stage singing along with Corpsegrinder... It was very brutal, but there was a mutual respect going on in those pits. I fell down a couple times and the fellow moshers picked me up asked if I was ok and we kept on...

    THIS GUY MAKES SENSE IN ALL CATERGORYS. My first gig was MOTÖRHEAD in 1979. EVERYONE WAS DANCING. A few days later, was RUSH. All seating venue. All you could was move in your space. Motörhead gigs and also Punk gigs, took the punter into another physical dimension. The band sweats for you onstage, so the punters on the floor, sweat for the band. The band pumps on the adrenaline and it feeds down onto the floor. SLAYER- Marquee, SUICIDAL-Clarendon Ballroom, Any Punk band at the Venue, any RAMONES gig, CRO MAGS, BAD BRAINS, GANG GREEN, D.R.I., EXPLOITED and countless other bands. They all played to make YOU MOVE. The public will view Punk and Thrash Metal gigs like this. ‘THERE IS A VIOLENT ATMOSPHERE ABOUT THESE SHOWS’. Picture this. Donington. 1988. MUD BATH. GUNS AND ROSES ARE ON STAGE. Not a Punk or Thrash Metal Band. The crowd goes nuts. People are going down and they are not seen again. People cannot move backwards, or anyway, to pick up those punters that are being trampled. YES PEOPLE. SOME DIED THAT DAY. Shocking news. People go to shows TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND TAKE THEM BACK AS MEMORIES. So, take this guys advice, and enjoy the shows. If you get hurt, so what, take yourself to doctors later or next day and get yourself checked out. JUST DON’T BE A JERK AND GET BEATEN UP. ENJOY THE SHOW PEOPLE.

    For real, if someone loses their glasses or phone (or even keys, wallet, hat...really anything with value) in the pit and you see it: pick it up. Hold it over your head to advertise that you found it. Chances are the person knows they lost it and are panicking and you will see relief/respect when they see you have it. I went to a show about six months ago and this kid (around 17 years old) fell forward in the pit and his glasses flew off in front of me. I reached forward, picked them up and gave them right back to him. For a split second he was freaking out but the second he saw me he gave me a huge "THANKS!" and a few people in the pit thanked me too. People actually are paying attention in the pit and if you are the guy that's following the rules and helping others it kind of goes around the pit. It's hard to describe.

    And for the love of god, don't be overly aggressive in mosh. Just because you aren't overtly shoving your elbows into peoples faces doesn't mean you aren't overdoing it. You wan't to push people around, smash into people and create chaos? Go for it. That's part of the fun. But if you are doing those things with so much force that people constantly getting thrown to the floor or smashing together hard enough to cause concussions, you need to tone it the fuck down.
