Hey jackies, I am working on
the new Violent Dancing Section which ll be more There are many pages out there that are against moshing. As I looked across the net, I never saw a page that supported moshing and I wondered, 'How could moshing be equally recognized if all this negative crap is out there and not any supportive stuff?' So that is why I created this page. To show how a lot of people are wrong about moshing and to give people correct information about moshing.
About my statement that "No one
has ever died from moshing." Well, it is true. All reports
from concert deaths have never once reported that moshing was the cause
of the death. Some of you may be saying to yourself, 'Wait a minute,
what about that death at a Smashing Pumpkins concert acouple years ago
in Ireland?' Well that unfortunate incident was a result of trampling.
The fans at the concert did not wish to stay seated at the concert and
decided to move the chairs. As the chairs started to move, people rushed
toward the stage, trampling over the fallen girl as they ran. Other
incidents involved crowd-surfing (people fell from their crowd-surfing
position and hit the floor. When they hit the floor, they fell in such
away that their head hit resulting in broken necks) and stage diving
(people jumped off the stage into what they thought was a safe area
to jump. When they jumped, no one caught them and they fell head first
into the floor.). Never moshing. By taking away someone’s right to mosh,
you not only take away their right mosh away but, also their right to
choose. Anyone who moshes, chooses to mosh; they make the decision
themselves. When you outlaw moshing, you take away peoples
right to choose. If moshing is outlawed, you will see the same results
as the outlawing of alcohol. Cops can not be everywhere. Moshing will
continue with or with out the support of the local, state, or national
government. Recently, the ABC television program '20/20' ran a story which they spoke of the dangers of moshing. This story misrepresented the moshing community by linking the act of moshing with crowd surfing and stage diving. People ignorantly listen to these broadcast instead of questioning themselves on their own opinion. This story discussed the injuries that people suffered while stage diving and crowd surfing. They then continued to discuss how the concert venders should take responsibilities for these injuries instead of people talking responsibility for themselves; incase you missed that, they were calling the average concert attendee incompident of being responsible. Anyway, I emailed them a letter, directly after the show, complain of their one sided view and generalality. I also placed a post on their bullitin board and direct those interested to this page. I asked them, as I do you, to email me with any questions you have regarding moshing. I will be sure to respond to intellectual (non-harassing) questions. Moshing can be dangerous and ridiculous
when you are inattentive or drunked !! |

First
of all, lets define moshing. Moshing is the act of running
around in a mosh pit, and hitting other people with their upper-body.
That is exactly what moshing is, no if's, and's, or but's about it.
Some people have e-mailed me saying how crowd-surfing and stage diving
are moshing; well, they are not. If it were moshing, then it would be
called moshin; instead, it is given it's own name. That statement right
there has probably changed your thoughts completely around about moshing.
But if you still think that moshing should be banned, keep reading.
Moshing
is a right. People have the right to what they want
if they have no intention of injuring people (I admit that there are
people out there to injure but, they are a few). If a person doesn't
want to mosh or have the chance of moshing, they can sit down. Seats
are always provided by the event holder so use them. If not, you risk
the chance of being in a mosh pit. Don't want to sit, don't go. You
have to realize that if moshing is banned, all concerts will be seated.
It wouldn't be a pretty picture. If you feel that you are at risk, take
a seat and don't complain. You have your right to be at the concert
and we have the right to mosh.
