h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yer, I like a little Jazz and Classical, but my user name gives away my first love in music.

whats the deal with all your stereotypes? does "cleaning up britain" mean destroying diversity by any chance? you may well class me as a "mosher" but whatever, i wouldnt say that chilling along to herbie hancock and miles davis sounds like "mosher" activities. who cares if i have a love affair with my tatty jeans...

also i havent really noticed how "mosh" represents all that is wrong with society, i'd say that drink culture and football hooliganism show that a bit more clearly.

Being an Extreme Metal Head, I really look down on the little Korn/Nirvana/Slipknot/Manson loving idiots, but what are you gonna do?
They'll grow out of it, but the Extreme Music classes will always rip on them.

But the drink culter is a far bigger problem than a bunch of kids with naff taste.

How do drink culture and football hooliganism show that a bit more clearly?

And what, exactly, is *that* in detail.

Darkthrone you show uter contempt for anyone who does not conform to your tastes does this mean that you are perfect and the everything is the fault of people who dont like whatever it is you like

one love

"that" is "all that is wrong with society"...just to clarify.

Um... I would feel stupid saying anything about that statement. But I will, cos I'm bored.

Moshers are usually nice, intelligent people who are trying to be an individual. All the ones I know are, anyway. And they might like the clothes. And isn't that what matters? That you like what you're wearing and feel comfortable in it? If you like the 'I just crawled out of a skip' look, then so be it. I like it. But I look like a bag lady. Which I don't like. So I don't wear it. But anyway.

People should like the music they like, and wear the clothes they like. I'm a hypocrite. I laugh at small girls wearing pink and black and calling themselves punk. I laugh at Busted fans who think Busted are rock. And I laugh at mini-moshers who think Korn is a clothing make. So ignore me, please.

But there's going to be at least one person who likes one band. Every band has followers. And people listen to all different things. One of my close friends plays metal from his speakers, but listens to Mozart in his headphones. I wouldn't for one moment assume that all Scally people (sorry, I don't know how to categorize these people so I'll stick to Scallies) are the same. So not all koshers are the same.

Thanks. Don't know how much sense comes otu of that. And all that comes out, probably, is me being a hypocrite and a load of shite about Busted. But oh well. Night.

Blicky, of course I show utter contempt, I'm an elitist. But believe me, most of me is much happier they DONT like what I like. I dont want a bunch of 12 year olds running around listening to Emperor. They're just not good enough for it :P
But I can sit there and rip on Nu Metal til the end of time.

Hey man, thanks for calling me an idiot, I really appreciate it...

Ok, you are entitled to your opinion. But upon what do you base it?


My opinion is that mosh is GREAT FUN!!!!!

Now, let me tell ya 'bout me, just for background on my opinion.

I'm 40+ , have 9 kids, survived the '60's& '70's,lived in London when SKA was at it's highest(still is as far as I'm concerned!), wore 21" liberty spikes and spiked everything, and Doc Marten's stiletto toes, had a blast in the Brickston Riots, spent 15 years following the Dead and living show to show, wear tie-dye everything, do yoga, sing folk music, play elec. bass in 2 bands, play the Irish whistle and the flute,wear 156 diamonds on my fingers, run 3 companies out of my home as I am afflicted with MS,take my kids(age 17 months to 25 years) plus 2 grandbabies and numerous nieces & nephews to as many rock concerts as possible and as if that ain't enough............I rise each Sunday and perform the early service in my church as I am the senior clergy and founder of the church, and I perform 2-6 weddings and baptisms a month.

LONG LIVE MOSH!!!!!! And, SEX PISTOLS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I mention that I'm a published author, that I design and produce jewelry,that I restore and race vintage cars and ride motorcycles!


Anything else? Your opinion ?

Forgot to mention one small thing.....I'm A woman!!!!

We know how high your heels were but we dont know what shoe size you are?

Good point, Darkthrone. Nothing more annoying than the 'normals' flipping through my CD case in school and saying 'Oh, I've heard of them!' I'd much rather get contemptuous 'Who the hell is THAT?'s anyday.

Blicky Hun,

My heels aren't high, the liberty spikes were in my hair and the stilettos are knives in the toes of my boots. 21" spike heels would be too much and not at all practical for riding my bike! Yes, I still have them and wear them to many concerts. Especially KISS as they look great with my show costume! I did wear them to churh once under my robes when I had my band play for my teen comparative religion class. They freaked out when I took off my robes and was wearing my KISS ARMY shirt and holey jeans and proceded to sing "god gave rock-n-roll to you" with backup ! If there were room enough in my church we'd have a mosh pit! We don't play traditional hymns. I have 4 teen students that write and compose music for us.And, anyone is free to join the singing even if they have no musical talent. I have a 60 year old lady who plays the tambourine with a gusto equal to any great musician!!! And, she loves to dance as we perform.

So, I say, mosh lives!!Even in church!!!!!


As for my shoe size, it's a dainty 5.

Blessed Be.

i am entertaining myself immensely, imagining youse guys moshing to Primus.

Looks like all the cool people have congregated on this page of convo

As far as moshers go...I don't like the 14-year old gromits listening to Korn, Slipknot etc as have already been mentioned. But that's because I find children annoying and have a had time putting up with them. Moshing itself, I don't mind. It's good clean fun, pretty much involuntary when there's a class high-energy band playing. Gets the adrenaline flowing, burns up the excess energy, and makes you feel so good! If you don't like it, get the f**k out of the way. I can't stand people who stand at the front of the pit and complain when they get pushed. You know how things work so if you're going to be like that, stand at the back.

I wish I could still mosh. I used to have a killer rep, but smoking put an end to that oh well...

what is MOSH?

yeah maiden, moshing's all well and good and highly entertaining and everything...but i've heard that if you do too much of it your retinas can become detatched and then you go blind...dunno if its true but it sounds pretty nasty! anyway, its not happened to me yet...(reaches for the soulfly)...
