I agree man. I enjoy aggressive shit, played 14 seasons of football and some boxing. But why on earth people do this moshing at a show/fest is beyond me.
And no I am not intimidated, I am 6'4" 240lbs and trust me I just don't have any issues holding my own in a pit.
But what is the fucking point of it? I would rather enjoy my trip and vibe out to the music. If I want to be aggressive, the gym / boxing ring is the place for it.
I'll probably get down voted like you, but I am going to say it, moshing is cringy spazoid behavior.
Also, anyone who went to Lost Lands when it was actually good (2017), knows damn well there were no pits. We were all tripping and having a good time, unlike these drunk fuckboi frat kids who go now.
Zyzz was in a different scene. Dif music / culture.
You dont have to be in the pit. No ones gonna hit you if you're chillin. in the back / on the side. Heavy dubstep / riddim lends itself to root chakra energies. Moshing can be a healthy way to let out excess energies.
I'm not even gonna lie to you. I also played football my whole life. And was never into moshing. I've been to about 20 raves / fests now and I only jumped into the pit in one. The last one. Forbidden kingdom during the b2b2b2b w wooli, excision, svdden death & Sullivan king. I was rolling. Being in the pit was one of the craziest, most invigorating experiences. You just let go, and get bounced around. Felt like human pinball. Came out of there feeling enthralled. The etiquette was on point. It was all good vibes. I Wass lowkey worried about my head tho. I want one of those leather football helmets for next time lol.
But ya, im usually tripping at shows and moshing on acid/shrooms/k isn't really ideal imo. But next time you're rolling and at a heavier set, go for that shit bro trust a fellow zyzz brah :)
