What's the wimpiest/most lol u moshing 2 that?? band you actually saw ppl mosh to in the 90s

I think my answer to this question is probably Ben Folds Five though.

I had my first crowd surf to Space at Reading Festival ('97?), and I remember getting quite bruised in the mosh to "C'Mon Kids" by the Boo Radleys at the same festival.

Pretty sure people will still mosh to anything at Reading.

music that was playing over a PA (no band onstage)

The punk/ska/cabaret band World/Inferno Friendship Society has plenty of moshable songs for their loyal following, so even when the band broke into a waltz, the fans all paired up and waltz moshed like mad.

ppl would mosh to fucking anything in the 90s

oh this is so so true

I may be making this up but I want to say that in high school we once started a moshpit for "Pump Up the Jam""

Just here to confirm this urban legend.

Or perhaps suburban legend

Rural maybe

Fuck you it happened ok

wasn't moshing but there was this Christian convention I went to in my youth group days and there was this musician named Mark Imboden who was this jam bandy, hippie type Christian that played inoffensive acoustic Christian folksy stuff and these kids started crowd surfing to it.

then again their only alternatives at that festival were Rebecca St James and Nouveaux so

Everclear

DC Talk

You shoulda seen the enforcer

Does this count as moshing, y/n

No actual physical contact and almost certainly not the '90s but, well, kinda feel like this video should be a valid answer to any question posed by humans so there you go

i think it counts as brain damage possibly being airborne contagion

not moshing but i went to see the kranky 25th anniversary/ambient church show at a historic church on the campus of the university of chicago and they had a security guy posted right in front of the "stage" (where the preacher would normally stand) who was actively stretching out before the show

General Admission at any Mercer Arena show in Seattle from ‘93-‘97 was a constant pit. Lights up, between bands, didn’t matter. We moshed.
Most surreal example was a kid who crowd surfed at the theater where I saw Singles on opening night. I think it was during the Soundgarden part.

I saw Singles in a Detroit-area theater with other flannel-garbed teens, and there was definitely light moshing in the seats. (When the mellow opening section of Smashing Pumpkins' "Drown" started up, a guy said to his buddy next to him -- "Don't worry, it gets a lot harder.")

they had a security guy posted right in front of the "stage" (where the preacher would normally stand) who was actively stretching out before the show

irl lol
can totally see that

Eels.

The Boo Radleys c1997 at Reading Festival. It was pretty hardcore

Echo & the Bunnymen at Lollapalooza second stage in '98, maybe.

The most anti-mosh was in high school, during model UN (lol nerd, I honestly did it to go record shopping in DC). There was some party at the end, with a DJ, which back then meant playing rock music, more or less. They played GNR's"Paradise City," for some reason (why not something from Use Your Illusion?) but cut it short before the fast coda, because they didn't want kids to mosh! This must have been ... spring '92, maybe?
