    This is pre”mosh” stuff, when pit stuff was called “slamming.” Good old-fashioned circle pit, not out to intentionally hurt anyone, will help out anyone that goes down (a lot of stomping boots wizzing by), knees and elbows, forward flip off the stage, bathed in sweat fuckin’ mayhem and I loved every second of it!

    Many people criticise this stuff but what they fail to realise is that this is how moshing started, it was the punk and hardcore movement that helped pave the way for many of the metal and heavy rock bands that are around today.

    @misfits765, moshing, as characterized by an up and down movement of the head/neck/shoulders, is distinctly different to slam dancing as demonstrated in the vid. Another post asks if moshing is for metal and slam dancing is more punk/ska thing and he's absolutely correct (although the metal noobs are blurring the line with slam dancing for metalcore and deathcore bands), these distinctions are never 100% but as a generalization, this explanation is correct.
