Blitzkreig Bop Reminder
So what is the difference between a bunch of punks doing the pogo and a metal head mosh pit?
I grew up a punk (Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Generation X, etc). My wife’s a metal head with a British twist (Queensryche, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc). She likes mosh pits. I dislike people touching me to put it mildly.
So what’s the difference? Why does the pogo seem “OK” and pleasant group bonding experience while a mosh pit sounds like a thinly veiled excuse to anonymously punch someone?
Maybe I’m idealizing the whole issue.
