![]() In the UK this has grown over the past few years. So what activity can be brought together? It is an amalgamation of several crowd activities, to create a new activity that is acceptable as a group norm. What many that listen to Grime music, call a mosh pit, is not in the traditional sense what they are participating in. Circle pit, now that is achievable, although all that running about is a bit much. Wall of death, well we will get back to that one. Crowd surfing, do you know how long some folks spend on getting their hair just right, you ain’t getting to flatten it. Slam-dancing, most will see this as you trying to start a fight and will quickly lead to a sore face. ![]() This speed is through the sharing of video content on social media platforms.Īdopting more extreme crowd behaviour is possible if accepted by the masses, although most activities will be rejected. Unlike its predecessors though, the adoption is moving at a pass and sometimes the rules are not understood and this can lead to harming one another. With this leap, comes the adoption of new fans and crowds that do not know the perceived norms of the scene, so they make their own, and some of that will be through adoption. As with the roots of hardcore punk and metal, many of these acts start off in small clubs and venues and like punk/metal the mid 80’s into the 90’s, now is the time Grime music is making the giant leap into arena, stadiums and festival headliners. ![]() The latest addition to the moshing scene is the urban/grime (Grime) audiences. Now, we get to the adoption of this activity by other music genre.Īs music grows and audiences want to express how they are enjoying the experience, their actions become more extreme. Participants learn these rules through being part of the activity, sometimes your friends explain along the way, sometimes your father or mother may pass the rules down to you (yes we are fully aware of how strange that sounds….but true I taught my son the rules before his first gig). As many blogs before have explained, there are rules so we will not go into these here. The origins of this activity started off small in clubs and venues and over the course of many years grew to what we understand today. Who are we to argue with the greater collective. The “circle pit” description though has been embraced by the masses, to where it is commonly considered a mosh pit. The mosh pit is simple the area near the stage where you head to, for a bit of jumping (pogoing), slam dancing, crowd surfing and other more active participation than tapping your big toe along to the beat and the odd bit of headbanging. ![]() Mosh pits are commonly mistaken for what was originally called “circle pits”. “ “circle pits” (where the participants bump and jostle each other as they run along the circular perimeter of the pit) “ It is intended to be energetic and full of body contact.” Moshing usually happens in the center of the crowd, generally closer to the stage, in an area called the “pit”. “Moshing or slamdancing is a style of dance in which participants push or slam into each other, typically performed in “aggressive” live music. If you do not understand what we are talking about, here are some simple definitions. The use of the description “mosh pit” is being embraced by new musical genre though, other than the traditional heavy metal/thrash scene that embraced it and created what we now all believed to be our understanding of a “mosh pit”. Seems like there is a rather simple answer to this headline, when no one is moshing.
