slam-dance
Aggressive concert collision
Slam-dancing is a style of dancing at punk and hardcore concerts where participants deliberately collide with each other in a confined area called a mosh pit.
The movement is aggressive but typically governed by unwritten etiquette—picking up anyone who falls, not targeting those outside the pit.
We slam-danced until we were covered in bruises.
