What’s up Butcher Crew! So, I have been to a handful of shows this summer, and I have realized something… Some people have no idea what they are doing in a mosh pit. There are different types of pits depending on the genre. For example: Metalcore has push pits/circle pits, and deathcore and hardcore have crowdkilling, etc. I went to see Fit For a King, Like Moths to Flames, Currents, Constellation Atlas, and Patheos at the Drunk Horse Pub (DHP) in Fayetteville, NC. Listen to Burton Errny SoundCloud is an audio platform that lets you listen to. Now, this is a metalcore show, but DHP is known for its hardcore community. There were a lot of hardcore fans at the show and they were trying to crowdkill to these bands. Sometimes it works, but for the most part, it doesn’t, and people just look really weird trying to 2 step to metalcore. The lead singer for Constellation Atlas, Kevin, asked the crowd to form a wall of death. When the break down hit, instead of running towards each other, people started 2 stepping and crowdkilling. A wall of death does not work like that at all. I was talking to multiple people in all the bands that played that night, and they all said the same thing: It was weird to see people trying to crowdkill. Overall, the show was really fun and I got to meet a couple of people.

I am a history major so you already know homegirl loves doing some research. Moshing (also known as “slam dancing”) originated with the hardcore community in Washington D.C.
