In addition to the ludicrous nature of the section, it was poorly written as well, and citation free. they happen when the right people are into the music, or the vocalist calls for one, this is similar to saying a certain university is prone to students smoking in groups of 5 or more. there is no way you can attribute circle pits to bands. I think this section should be removed or seriously re-worked. mostly depending on what is perceived to be the most popular band at the concert. its more of a signature of a style of fan that is at the show than the band or even the music. Circle pits are less dangerous, since people just run around, skanking and such (yes, we do skank, user 65.25.27.81). Mosh pits are slightly more dangerous, since there'll always be the tanked up loonatic who'll try to punch anything in sight, but I've seen, on many occasions, these people being chucked out by the attendees to the event. I agree with the two comments above - I have experienced both "mosh" pits and "circle" pits, and far from being antisocial, where there are just people running around, flailing their arms and punching and kicking people to, and on, the floor they are actually fun places to be in. You may be refering to 'Hardcore Dancing' which is not part of the core metal community and is highly frowned upon to the point where at many shows observers will take it upon themselves to remove those with a disregard for those around them from the pit. That whole section is a complete missrepresentation of the metal community, one which many find highly offensive. I have never seen anyone deliberately shoved to the ground and injuries are NEVER ignored by the majority of the community. I have attended many many black and death metal shows and although the pits are usually much more active there is no less a sense of community and concern for those around you than any other show. Minor injuries and sometimes more serious injuries, are usually ignored by others, as these injuries are expected consequences of participating in vigorous mosh pits." My experience says this is not correct. "Circle pits at heavy metal shows are usually a lot more dangerous, because of blatant disregard for the rules of Skanking." How can metalheads have "blatant disregard for the rules of Skanking" if they don't skank in the first place? 65.25.27.81 03:40, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Ĭan we have some evidence for the part that says:"It is not uncommon for people in these pits to be deliberately shoved to the ground, even in outdoor cirles on hard asphalt or gravel.
