This thread made it seem like people are mad at each other. I don't like that.

Why do you speak like you're 5 years old on RGM.... :blank:

Damn... History of the 'mosh-pit'....

Well, it started in the late 70's when punk/new wave fans used to 'Pogo' which was a dance that consisted of jumping up and down to the music... People in front of the stage used to start bouncing into each other and shoving each other around... It was a spontaneous thing to the more exciting songs. but it was totally disorganized and random... No real 'pit'... Just a bunch of bodies bouncing into each other...
Then in the late 80's as Punk music got less musical and more aggressive/violent, 'Hard-Core' became a thing, and the 'pit' became more of a macho shoving match... Punk Gangs formed and people started getting beat-up/stabbed in the 'pit' and it became sort of a round vacuum in the crowd where people used to strut around and shove each other...
Then in the early 90's, the "Grunge" scene emerged from the punk scene with more musicality and brought the "Mosh Pit" into the main-stream with it's new name... It was just a place for people to do a hippy tribal war dance type thing in front of the stage... But it still had a 'hard core' reputation and people still occasionally got hurt...
So it worked it's way into other kinds of music... Maybe first showing up in rap with cross-over acts like Ice-T's 'Body Count' and 'Rage Against the Machine'...

So to answer your question... It's never really been 'for' anything... It's just been various degrees of stupid since the 70's... Sometimes stupid, harmless fun.... Sometimes stupid violent... Sometimes stupid out of place and pointless...

so my parents went to san diego yesterday until late sunday (convention for my dad's work) (anyone seen them yet?) but its kind of interesting being here by myself - perhaps a glimpse of what my life will be like when i move out

what i'm sort of getting at is that i've been thinking of posting on here less, i don't know if it will happen but its something to think about as i look to move forward with my life

hermes leaves, i leave.

hermes · Post #191 » by **hermes** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 3:25 am

i don't think i will, but i would like to be a little more efficient or something with my time- instead of spending hours on end surfing the net i could be doing other things

don't get me wrong, as long as i am at home there is little to nothing going on that would keep from the internet for very long

That was two blocks from my apartment. My buddy got knocked out by two guys with a glass bottle a few weeks back too.
