    From what I gathered from the programme, and partially in my own opinion, Moshing started out of Hardcore punk and then evolved over time to Metal. It was always deemed to be an extreme way of 'dancing' if thats what you could call it. Its not that metallers or punks have dibs on moshing, its just that its tradition belongs there, with heavy music, in the underground music styles.

    I suppose it depends on how you define "indie", "heavy" and "underground". The heavier end of what I'd consider to be indie also has its roots in punk and hardcore. I haven't been to a hell of a lot of metal gigs, but I've been to a lot of punk and industrial gigs, and some of the most vicious moshes I've been in have been at gigs by "indie" bands like Loop and My Bloody Valentine (showing my age here, I know).

    I went crowd surfing at Megadeth in the SFX last year. The bouncers were sound.
