MTV has this show explaining the MOSH

That was actually a pretty good special. Well done on MTV's part. I remember being 14 and skinny and hating the fact that when I moshed I got the shit beat out of me, and also, making fun of the "old" guys in the back drinking beer. Fast forward 11 years (Jebus, time truly does fly) throw 50 pounds on me, and I now wish I was skinny and energetic enough to get in the pit like I used too. Now, only special bands or special occasions draw me into the pit. Down tomorrow night probably will. A good night of pitting can shed 5 to 10 pounds off a man.
 
I hear all this talk about the mosh fading away..............i tell you.........i went to cannibal corpse recently...............its not fading a way. Yeah ill admit, mosh is trendy now(puddle of ass, nickelback, linkin park, korn) but they are all posers, the real moshers still live in their secluded lairs and wait untill slayer comes around.
