mosh
Mosh, also known as moshing, is a style of dance primarily performed to live music, typically within the genre of heavy metal, punk, and other aggressive or high-energy music. It is characterized by participants pushing, shoving, or slamming into each other. The dance originated in the hardcore punk scenes of California in the 1980s. It is often associated with concerts, festivals, and music events and can be potentially hazardous due to its violent nature. This activity typically takes place in an area in front of the stage called the "mosh pit."
