mosh
Thrash among concertgoers
Mosh is to dance aggressively at rock or punk concerts, typically by shoving and slamming into other dancers in a crowd.
The area where this happens is the mosh pit: We spent the whole show in the mosh pit.
Moshing emerged from hardcore punk culture in the 1980s and remains common at metal and punk shows.
