headbanged
Moshed with neck
Headbanged is the past tense of headbang, meaning to shake the head rhythmically and violently to heavy metal or hard rock music.
The motion typically involves throwing the head forward and back or in circles, hair flying: We headbanged through the entire Metallica set.
The practice emerged from 1970s rock culture and remains a signature gesture at metal concerts.
