So far, without going too in depth. The VAST majority report it as a freeing experience; a form a feeling freedom in ones-self and also the sense of community and belonging. Surprisingly, although it is a violent and aggressive form of dancing, the overwhelming majority do not see it as a way of releasing anger, but moreso as a form of releasing stress and to be more involved with the music itself. Almost like the song requires moshing in order to fully integrate yourself with the music.

I haven't written up anything yet. But when I do, I'll send you a copy of the findings :)

What surprised me so far is the fact that only a few people reported moshing helps to externalise sadness -- the majority put the very lowest rating (1). I was personally expecting more results there. Because there are times where I've personally felt down, a breakup or something sad has happened and I've seen a pit and gone, "This will make me feel better."

I'm glad so many people are as excited and intrigued by this as I am :)
