Was at a show last night and the dj hit play on a bouncy techno jam to close it out, got on the floor and started a mosh pit. Bumping shoulders, hugging, jumping up and down, holding hands, and everyone smiling and laughing. Something about the contact and chaos and care that makes it incredibly special. So much fun if the vibe is right

not talking about the insane shit where people actually seem like they're trying to kill eachother/themselves. but i've been going to a lot of rock shows recently and let me tell u from now on i finna be in the pit. it is so freeing to be able to flail and throw yourself around without anyone batting an eye because they're doing it too. i'll take some hits and some bruises i do not mind. plus, in every experience i've had of this so far everyone has been so unbelievably kind, & sometimes people even apologise for bumping into you afterwards even though that's the point. great way to let your energy out and engage with the loud ass sounds you've come to enjoy. rock on, baby!

Associated with the paper "Collective Motion of Moshers at Heavy Metal Concerts".

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
