	Music: Pit Etiquette (August 29 - September 4, 1996)
		Then came that strange generation of punks before me, who came of age in the late '70s and practiced a precursor of slam dancing called the pogo--jumping up and down to the beat while flapping your arms out and lunging forward with your chin.
		Heshers--who had long hair and listened to death metal and speed metal--developed a similar dance, more galloping-like, which was called "moshing." Due to speed metal's commercial success, this was the term that came to the attention of the dominant culture when the arena-going crowd starting bumping into each other on purpose.
		Slamming is a great way of transcending personal ego, getting a bash on the back of the head and returning it with a smile.

	The beginners guide to the mosh pit
		Moshing started, it's thought, at punk gigs during the 18th century, where a primative form of body slamming became popular at gigs and has evolved to the artistic stature that it is today.
		At these gigs, members of the crowd will gather at the front and will furiously and passionately shove/ push/ body slam each other in time to the music.
		But the idea is not to cause any harm to each other(even though that's usually the case) but just to enjoy the music in a less passive way, like you would if you were to dance to any type of music.

	The Healing Slam of a Punker's Hand
		Each slam by a punker's hand is contact with another human being in a society that defines contact between males as abnormal and contact between males and females as sexual.
		Each slam acts as a form of communal healing, the absolute radiance from the participants' faces attesting to the fulfillment they feel.
		It is not unusual to see someone literally throw themselves into the supportive arms of the dancing crowd or to see a slam lead to a bear hug between men, women or both.

	Dementlieu Punk Archive: Effigies: Alive and Slamming
		Slam dancing is as much a sport as an art.
		As much as a lyric like "I'm living in a body bag" speaks of death, the music that propels it is essential, unrefined life force, just as slam dancing, with all of its sweaty, bloody brutality, is an existential commitment to the very act of being alive.
		It makes you aware of the thin line between life and death, and of the fact that it's when you are closest to death, struggling with it, that you are most alive.

	the Misanthropes: Break'er Records: History
		As the music grew more aggressive, so did the audiences and slam dancing emerged, with people smashing into each other on the dance floor in a crazed frenzy.
		At Jay's Longhorn, the dancers did "The Pogo" (I understand this dance was started in England by Sid Vicious) which was just kind of like jumping up and down in the same place.
		I liked some of the "hard core" or "thrash", bands, but it seemed to me that they lacked a sense of humor and were a bit too serious for me. I thought slam dancing was really stupid and I heard that people were getting injured at some of these shows.

	FAQ.
		We do not support slam dancing, circle pits or stage diving.
		We see this as inherently violent, and it divides the people up into two groups: one that is forced to stand on the sides or in the back of the venue in order to avoid getting shoved, punched, kicked or landed on -- and another that doesn't care about these people.
		We want to encourage EVERYONE to participate in these shows; this is an interactive experience, and we want everyone to come up front and dance, come onstage and sing with us and express themselves completely, taking part in the experience without having to worry about getting hurt.

		The group even treads into waters one wouldn't expect, referring to the 9/11 tragedy with more daring terms then some may like, yet the powerful thoughts delivered on "Feel Me" prove that Onyx is very serious about their terrorist opinions.
