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...

I was going to ask the same question, thanks for droppin' the knowledge Kilroy.

Sweet tea at McDonalds? It's like me going to a coffee shop and ordering a burger. :lol:

It's actually pretty good, only $1 for 32oz. Works great on a college student's budget :thumbsup:

32 oz is a lot.

I usually go for fresh sugar cane juice for $0.25.

Do you know how long the stench stays in your mouth if you don't distill the piss first? Trust me, purifying it first is the only way to go when it comes to drinking urine.
