slam-danced
Thrashed at concerts
Slam-danced is the past tense of slam-dance, meaning to have participated in slam dancing—an aggressive form of dancing associated with punk and hardcore music where participants deliberately collide with each other in a mosh pit.
We slam-danced until we were bruised and exhausted.
The activity emerged from punk scenes in the late 1970s and remains common at heavy metal and hardcore shows.
