I've never been in a rave but i've always asked myself if there's something like a mosh in hardcore raves? specially in the darker styles?
I've never entered a mosh because I'm afraid of getting hurt, but I would certainly enjoy getting "in touch" and kick some ass, and sometimes some gabber tracks make me feel it would be cool to push/kick/punch somebody while dancing!!
does anything like this happen in hardcore? or its just a different culture... more "civilized"?

You can't really mosh to happy / uk hardcore, perhaps in a breakdown or something, hardcores stompy not moshy :)
The first video doesn't look like a mosh pit, they look like people pushing each other for the hell of it... looks like they looked up mosh pit on wikipedia, went to an event and failed...

I remember a mosh at a rave during Hixxy's set (or at least they tried). The music definitely has to set the mood. Real moshes can get pretty dangerous but there's a certain etiquette that I've seen when it comes to shoving people around. I've only been to one hardcore rave so I don't have enough experience to know what goes in those damn sex parties.

You always seems to get mosh pits at free raves to Hard Trance and Hardstyle but never seen it at a legal party to any type of rave music.

Sorta funny because I just posted something on a similar topic in another thread.
Moshing did start with hardcore music though, literally.
When we say hardcore we're talking about hardcore techno, but back then it was hardcore in terms of hardcore punk/rock.
I posted a Bad Brains vid in another thread but I gotta do it again heheh
(I like how this forum has Youtube tags that's nifty)
Mosh pits aren't always about punching and kicking, it's about shoving and slamming moreso.
You can't really mosh to HHC or UK Hardcore, but probably the other types of hardcore. I think having a circle pit would be more likely than slam dancing.

Yeh, when your listening to a gabber track called "I Raped Your Mother then Slitted Your Sisters Throat" They are gonna be mighty pissed if you try and destroy the plur

Here in fun loving Detroit, if I drop a gabber track or few:
a) everyone cracks up at the sheer absurdity of the bass kicks and how generic and unentertaining they are
b) mosh-pit
c) eventually people leave because gabber is just such garbage, then I mix back into music you can actually dance to and everyone wins!
The only tracks I'll ever play are Never Fall Asleep and Bastard/*******, people think those are fun but otherwise I agree with this general community that gabber is crap when you want to have a fun night of dancing. No offense to gabber, I just am not that into it.

When i went to raves back in the 90`s i never saw any mosh pits or anything like that
it was popular in the 80`s though in the punk scene..
Iv always thought imo that gabba was the new punk...punk being popular in the 80`s
but when it came to the 90`s gabba was the new aggressive music much like punk was
So gabba was like the new generations version of punk...if that makes sense to anyone lol
