衝撞(英語:Moshing或Slamdancing)

mosh, moshing or slamdancing

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK 🤘

Description[edit]

Moshing or slamdancing is a style of dance in which participants push or slam into each other, typically performed in "aggressive" live music. Moshing usually happens in the center of the crowd, generally closer to the stage,[1]in an area called the "pit" (sometimes called a "mosh pit"). It is intended to be energetic and full of body contact.

Etymology[edit]

A crowd of moshing music fans
The term mosh came into use in the early 1980s American hardcore scene in Washington, D.C. Early on, the dance was frequently spelled mash in fanzines and record liner notes, but pronounced mosh, as in the 1982 song "Total Mash" by the D.C.-based hardcore band ScreamH.R.of the band Bad Brains, regarded as a band that "put moshing on the map,"[8] used the term mash in lyrics and in concert stage banter to both incite and to describe the aggressive and often violent dancing of the scene. To "mash it up" was to go wild with the frenzy of the music. Due to his Jamaican-accented pronunciation of the word, fans heard this as mosh instead.[9]

演唱會現場觀眾在舞台前衝撞

一位觀眾在衝撞區上玩人體衝浪
衝撞英語:MoshingSlamdancing)是一種極端的舞蹈風格、重金屬音樂互動文化[1]。參與者用手推、或用身體撞擊彼此,這是由於演唱會聽眾主動以身體姿態去享受現場的音樂、展現對台上表演樂團的歡迎,以及重金屬音樂的激烈特性形成這種動作。衝撞起源於1970年代末期美國加州華盛頓特區硬核龐克表演現場,隨後在龐克搖滾鞭擊金屬油漬搖滾表演現場的觀眾也開始這樣做,逐漸成為一種風行的舞蹈動作。從那時起,衝撞除了在龐克和重金屬樂團的表演中會出現外,偶爾也能在各式各樣的音樂流派裡發現,包括另類搖滾電子舞曲嘻哈音樂這種同樣精力充沛的音樂。雖然衝撞主要是在現場演唱會上進行的,但許多樂迷在私人空間聽音樂時也會玩起這種動作[2]
衝撞是充滿精力、非常自由、極富變化性和肢體接觸的舞蹈動作,它可以獨自一人、也可以從十幾個人到幾千人同時進行。在衝撞出現的場景中,視觀眾參與意願的不同,周圍會圍著退開、沒有參與的觀眾,將被撞出來的人推回衝撞範圍內,這個由參與衝撞者所占領的範圍即稱為「衝撞區」(英語:Mosh Pit)。衝撞雖然主要是以手臂撞擊對方,但也有較危險的揮拳「猛撞」(英語:Slam Pit)、俗稱洗衣機的漩渦「繞圈衝撞」(英語:Circle Pit)和觀眾們分為兩邊,再隨音樂快速衝向對面的「死牆」(英語:Wall Of Death)等不同形式。衝撞通常是在靠近舞台的區域出現,因為最前方往往是較熱情投入的觀眾[3]
衝撞是一種積極的樂迷回應或表達享受音樂的方式,大部分時候衝撞不會造成受傷,參與者通常也沒有傷害他人的意圖,而且會協助跌倒的人[2][4]。但是衝撞也有許多造成傷亡的紀錄,它的危險性受到許多批評。其中「死牆」是最激烈、最極端的衝撞形式,這是鞭擊金屬樂迷發展出來的動作[5][6][7][8]
