KungFu Mosh

Some call it hardcore moshing. Some call it the new moshing

I call it stupid.

Sure, sekarang dah ada banyak orang yang buat moshing macam tu. A lot of 'hardcore' gig-goers are doing it, together, same actions, like a dance tribe. But honestly, it just seems like another way to fight without getting into trouble for it.

You punch someone, and it's not wrong, because it's all part of what 'you are supposed to do'.
Apalah merepek ni?

Let me make the term "moshing" clear....

It's free movement. 

It's not windmill hands, not punches, not swirling kicks. NO. 

Moshing wasn't made to hurt people. But now, moshers are hurting people. Sengaja, pulak.

Dulu, kalau you pergi gig, and you get a bruise, everyone goes "Yeah, that was kickass gig!"
Now? You come out with a bruise, people say "Oh, you kena pukul, kan?"
-_-

That has completely ruined the art of music, the freedom everyone is supposed to have. There's no freedom in entering a crowd, worrying you're about to get your head slammed. 
After a huge amount of stress, all you want to do is vent it out at a concert, but you end up getting more pissed off because you're getting punched and kicked intentionally.

Think about it.
I know it's all about trying out something new, but there is limit. This is just a no-no. To connect this to moshing does not make sense, because moshing is in no relation to 'hurting people'.

Sure, the people doing it are having fun. What about those who just want to mosh normally?
