Types of moshing
Moshing is a catch-all term for any dance performed in a mosh pit or circle pit. There are several variations of moshing:
- Grindcore has its own style of dancing, often called grind (not to be confused with the urban dance style), which resembles a blend of skanking and a slow mosh.
- Hardcore dancing fast and formulaic. It includes windmilling, moves resembling breakdancing, and solitary martial arts moves.
- The Gangsta walk, associated with hip hop music, was originally called the buck jump. It involves quickly and wildly circling the dance floor. It First appearing at rap conerts in the Memphis, Tennessee area, and is closely related to Crunk.
- Heavy metal performances are associated with the Speed Pit or Speed Mosh. The faster the metal is, the more intense it gets. Metal moshing generally consists of pushing, shoulder and body checks, Irish whips (a wrestling move that involves taking a person by the arm and launching them) and a contest in which two moshers lock hands and spin at a frantic pace, seeing who can hold on the longest. The loser is usually sent flying into a crowd.
- Industrial music concerts often have mosh pits similar to those at metal or punk concerts. Industrial pits incorporate dancing styles similar to those found in clubs playing electronic body music or industrial music. Due to the clockwork nature of industrial music's rhythm, fans sometimes stomp their feet on the floor, causing vibrations.
- Skank slam dancing is often seen at ska punk and ska-core concerts.
- The Braveheart happens when the crowd is divided into two halves. The music builds to a crescendo, and as it reaches fever pitch, a signal is given by the band and the two sides run at each other. This was originated by the classic New York hardcore band Sick of it All, but has since been imitated.
- The Wall Of Death occurs when a group link arms and run across the crowd, clearing space by knocking others aside. Some newjacks bizarrely call this the riot line. The band Lamb of God often encourage the audience to perform a Wall of Death, however their version is more akin to a Braveheart. Both the band and the fans refer to it as a Wall of Death, and similarities can be drawn that the front row of each half often links arms, and the intent is to 'plow' through the other half. This particular maneuver is synonymous with their song Black Label.
- The Dogpile may be the result of a reckless trip and fall of a mosher, resulting in others tripping and falling atop of eachother, and in some cases, one or more hyped-up moshers or bystanders may humorously run and jump onto the dogpile. Often it starts as an accident, but sometimes it is purposely initiated.
