Mosh pits

[Requiem]

also, i don't listen to like thrash metal or anything, but if I did i would go to a show -expecting- there to be a lot of moshing. but why do people do this at just rock concerts and shit?

I say cus rock is the most aggressive music there is, hence the moshing. I surely wouldnt expect a pit at Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, or most rap shows. Just a combination of guitars, drums, and screaming vocals seems to generate the most energy and cause people to have more energy.

So even though I dont usually encourage moshing, I do think people that just stand still, or even worse sit at rock concerts, dont really belong there. And I believe bands feel the same way, Ive heard numerous bands call out to people to stop sitting and stand up.
