Creating a safer, more enjoyable gig and mosh culture in Dunedin is a collective effort and responsibility. Go with heaps of mates and act collectively if you’re too shy to do it alone. If no one else initiates any of the above rules mentioned, initiate them yourself. To put it simply, have a whānau mindset for the gig. Some of my good friendships made in Dunedin have had moshpit origin stories. Becoming familiar with one another helps everyone at the gig feel more comfortable being in such close proximity together. Smile and greet other people in the crowd when you walk in. If you’ve chosen to attend university and don’t even think to help another human being who is at risk of being trampled up, then rethink yourself, you selfish fuck. If you see someone fall down in a crowd, pick them up. This is the correct etiquette of the mosh, so that you can get turnt as fuck but still have a safe time out there. They should not have to worry about absolute assholes ruining that pure and exciting ‘makes me feel alive’ experience that we all strive for in the mosh. A mosh is a respectful and safety-conscious environment where all people, no matter their gender, age or skin colour can get rowdy to their favourite music. The original rules still apply, but some of them get forgotten. Moshing, which started up during the ‘80s with the rise of punk and hardcore, is now a widespread concert activity. While moshes can seem like animalistic anarchy, there is a crucial code of conduct that keeps all participants safe in their gnarly sonic and sweaty adventures.
