The ultimate way to show your love for your loud, pounding music taste. Controlled violence. The thing about the Mosh Pit is NOONE will take offence at you whacking them in the face...(I personally congradulate those that get a good shot in) there are different type of "pits" you can participate in, here are a few.
Closed Pit: Tight, hard to move and hard to breathe. A closed pit will usually happen during popular heavy songs like Slipknot - Duality or a S.O.A.D song.
Open Pit: Generally the worst/best you can pick a target and reach them, throw them across the floor punch them, barge them. There's enough room to just dive about punching everyone still causing little offece (Do be prepared to be hit back...a lot)
songs that will get open pits are the less popular but heavy ones.
Motograter music gathers a lot of open pits.
Circle Pit: The larger or stronger Moshers or Metal heads will run around in an empty circle punching those on the outside of the circle and pushing the runner infront until he either leaves or falls to be trodden on. these will happen on most slayer songs.
Slam-dancing Pits: Created by "Wooble" of Wolverhmapton fame. One hand will be behind back at all times (usually holding your beer) and the other one will be swinging side to side, whaloping other slam-dancers and headbanging to yourself.
Lamb Of God - Now You've Got Something To Die For
Is perfect to slam-dance to.
Piss-take Pits: Maetal heads will enjoy poking fun at the emo music by doe-see-doeing and linking arms and swinging happily...Some even girly-mosh in where they rest their heads on tachothers shoulders and flail their arms madly. this is where you generally ignore themusic and do stupid things while the emo's dance.
Any phisical damage done in a mosh pit should be "handshaked" away no hard feelings, enjoy

When tightly compacted in a crowd during a concert or "show" with someone else's body pressed up against you so hard that you couldn't move to save your life.

The area near the front of the stage at punk rock and metal concerts where fans will run into each other continously. This is also known as slamdancing. It is not uncommon for people to shove their friends into the pit. Normally, the pit isn't very dangerous, and most will follow the rules of a friendly pit. For example, if someone falls down in the pit, the other moshers are expected to pick them up and get them out of harms way.
There are also variatons on the mosh pit, including circle pits, and the wall of death.
If you go to a punk show, there's going to be a mosh pit there.

Did you see the slack-mosh at the Sleep show? Everyone was so polite, and there were more than a few people smoking weed and oil pens.
The inability to comfortably mosh, tap your feet, head bang, air punch, throw up devil horns or generally any physical activity that goes along with listening to music due to being too self-aware.
Hector: Man, i really felt like moshing during that gig but Jenny was there and i was far too mosh-conscious.
John: Bummer.
The leader of "Aroma Azor" cult, also known as "The big evil Labroon", "God Savior", "The Messiah" and etc...

Person2: "Iiiiih Mosheeeeee"
Dror:"Hamoshe Halabruni, ia-ia-o, U la moshe haita para..."
A mosh pit taking place in the water, usually a pool. Much more hardcore than a mosh pit considering the ability to thrash around water in people faces while rocking out. Rare.
We were playing volleyball peacefully until Stephen turned up the screamo music, then it became a mosh pool.
