Next up in the continuing saga of taking something cool from a legitimate genre of music and completely ruining it, i present to you the concept of emo moshing. I'm not even going to post a video, just go look it up on youtube and witness the foolishness for yourself.

Does the world really need another reason to hate these kids?

holy shit that is like three years ago

good sir would you care to give us some information on this 'techno' music I'm hearing so much about?

I was expecting to see a bunch of butchered hair-cut kids crying in a circle.

I wish i could say i'm embarassed for not having my fingers anywhere near the emo pulse, but alas, i'm quite comfortable in my ignorance this time

I am just upset you r finger is so far away from the "things that are hilarious" pulse

it's my first day

olo

I wouldn't exactly say moshing is "cool" to begin with.

Oh contraire my friend.

i'd like to say the mosh pit was cool, but i think its like a convertible. seems cool when you don't have it, but where your there in the moment, you can't hear the other people in the car, and you have a lot of air hitting you in the face. so guess what i'm saying, i thought i was for mosh pits, but thinking about my reaction to every mosh pit i have seen, makes me realize mosh pits are pretty annoying and i have never enjoyed one.

The only time I can remember enjoying a moshpit was when I saw Alice in Chains a few years ago. It wasn't so much that I was moshing but that I wasn't bothered by all the pushing and jostling around because it was such an emotional moment for me and everyone else. That was a show where I felt like I didn't really need to focus so much on hearing the music, because I already knew how it sounded. Something about that show felt special, and unlike most moshpits, I think the people in it were there because the music brought out actual emotions in them rather than just a bunch of idiots being violent.

I'm not very good at describing that kind of thing, but I know what I mean. All other moshing I have ever seen has been stupid.

Punk circle pits are fun. At least the ones where most of the people are there to have a good time-- dancing around the circle while the music builds and then when the song gets faster/harder going nuts in the middle of the pit. Good times.

Hardcore kids

That looks dumb.

I was quite prepared to post the same thing if I hadn't seen it.
