What Ivaylo Genov is saying about this Meetup Group

The term "mosh" came into use in the early eighties American hardcore scene of the band Bad Brains, regarded as a band that "put moshing on the map". Moshing refers to the act in which audience members at live music performances push and/or slam into each other for the purpose of fun activity and in a non-hateful way most of the time. It is most commonly associated with concerts featuring more aggressive musical genres, such as hardcore punk and heavy metal. Moshing primarily takes place at live shows, though it can be done to recorded music. A precursor to moshing, called "slam dancing", can be traced back to 1970s punk rock shows in the form of "the pogo" and was later developed into moshing by the hardcore punk subculture of the early 80s. While many use the terms slam dancing and moshing interchangeably, distinctions can be made in that slam dancing is typically more frantic, with body movements such as arm-swinging, while moshing is slower and more exaggerated...
