Today, you are likely to find me on the outskirts or even up in a seat enjoying the show from a comfortable distance. I did find that there were two kinds of mosh pits, for which I preferred the orderly circle pits. I used to visit the mosh pit regularly when I was more youthful. I hope to find it someday and read more in-depth. However, the rise of dubstep in the early 2000s led to the incorporation of mosh pits into the subculture surrounding the genre. So, there is more to the story than what was presented in this article. Novem// Ben Sharp Mosh pits are commonly associated with aggressive, fast-paced music genres such as punk rock and heavy metal. It was an interesting study to read and is currently awaiting publication. Arnold & Itkin The next time you buy tickets to a concert or music festival, you may hear terms like rage culture and mosh pit thrown around, and if you don’t know what these mean, they can be intimidating. It’s all very methodical albeit semi-violent at times.Īs metalheads I think we all know that, but would never think to tie to it to some kind of science. Those who want to enter the pit are attracted to it while those who aren’t form the outer ring like a container. to see the music they liked and participate in, jumping around in the 'mosh pit'. An experiment ensued that basically revealed that circle pits collectively coordinate without a conductor. we're not allowed, they take the boards off us.

People in circle pits, on the other hand, dance in an ordered pattern, like flocks of migrating birds.Have you ever wondered why they rotate in a counterclockwise fashion?

With the help of a fellow graduate student, Matt Bierbaum, Silverberg examined whether humans in mosh pits and circle pits truly followed the rules of collective motion, which describes phenomena such as flocking as seen with birds or schools of fish. Several years later in a statistical mechanics class with James Sethna, professor of physics at Cornell, Silverberg recalled the ripple-like movement in the mosh pit and thought studying it might make an interesting experiment. “I had a hard time focusing on the music for the rest of the evening.” “The collision went from one side to the other,” he says, adding it looked like moshers followed the rules of collective motion.
