a large group of people usually containing an obnoxious, fat guy with a mohawk and a BAC of 1.5%, a few rude kids, one or two jack asses, some hardcore chicks, some helpless guy who got shoved in by his friends, and a handful of ridiculously overenthusiastic middle schoolers. Also, y'know, actual fans of the music trying to listen and dance and have a good time, but getting beaten and bruised and pushed around by the aforementioned shit-heads.
Moshes can be fun at a good punk show, or a hard core show, when appreciating is not the highest priority, but having fun and beating people you don't like without the consequences of an assault charge are. But anywhere else, there should be a circle pit, and a less packed area to groove in.
ex 1:
taylor: "fuck this shit! you're not supposed to mosh at ska shows! where's the circlepit?"
karli: "oh they'll start one, and we'll still get pummeled"
taylor: "STUPID FUCKEN HARDCORE KIDS!"
ex 2:
nick: "dude, check out my battle wounds from that sweet mosh"
conor: "yea man! i've got a black eye! fuck was that music pump me up!"

Potentially dangerous activity performed at concerts by fans of extreme punk bands or bands which play forms of pseudo-metal. A form of dancing characterised by varying degrees of violence towards fellow dancers. In other words, the dance of angry morons. Contrary to popular belief, TRUE metalheads don't mosh, they headbang and behave like relatively much more civilised humans. This is because TRUE metal bands {e.g. Olympos Mons, Doro, Black Majesty, Terasbetoni, Kaledon, Rhapsody Of Fire, Edenbridge} play ELEGANT music that can express every known human emotion, not just bleeding boring old anger, anger, more anger and yet MORE anger. Rant over.
'Great! There's some decent metal on at the Underworld tonight, none of those moshing arseholes around'.
