"Thousands of videos filmed by attendees at heavy metal concerts [8] highlight a collective phenomenon consisting of 101–102 participants commonly referred to as a mosh pit. In traditional mosh pits, the participants (moshers) move randomly, colliding with one another in an undirected fashion (Fig. 2(a); see Supplemental Material for video metadata [9]). Mosh pits can form spontaneously or at the suggestion of the performing band, but in both cases, no micromanagement of individual actions is generally involved. Qualitatively, this phenomenon resembles the kinetics of gaseous particles, even though moshers are self-propelled agents that experience dissipative collisions and exist at a much higher density than most gaseous systems. To explore this analogy quantitatively, we watched over 102 videos containing footage of mosh pits on YouTube.com, obtained six that were filmed from a suitably high position to provide a clear view of the crowd, corrected for perspective distortions [10] as well as camera instability, and used particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis [11] to measure the two-dimensional (2D) velocity field on an interpolated grid [Fig. 2(b)]."

Good chance I'm seeing Arsis this weekend. Ten bands on the bill, so I'm hoping for a decent spread between good and terrible.

The new Arsis album leaked and it's the first one I've really liked since A Celebration of Guilt, all the albums after that one were disappointing to me, but this one slays again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnm8hHyLoLc

He's one of the few metal heads I've seen wearing both a Morbid Angel and a Sisters of Mercy shirt before. Two important worlds combined for me.

I was 21 in 1998 so my "formative years" bands were Nirvana, Megadeth, and White Zombie. In some ways I got lucky. In others unlucky because the one band of those three that is still active is horrible at it.

I can’t hate on Slipknot at all, it just feels wrong considering how important they were to me when that self titled album got into my hands when I was 9 or 10.

I was all hype on that 90's nu metal poo poo and anything closely related but I never got into Slipknot. Not then and not now, seen them a couple of times but they just don't do anything to me. I like Wait and Bleed sort of tho

Slipknot is a band I don't care for but appreciate in some ways because they were a gateway band who were gracious enough to acknowledge their influences publicly and frequently. They also appealed to some really hosed up kids who in a way that might seem shallow to us, but meant the world to a 15 year old somewhere who probably got called "fag" as often as he did his actual name. Maybe once he felt like he belonged, once he found other Slipknot fans. Same reason I can't totally hate juggalos, the source material seems crap to me, but it has probably stopped a few good but confused people from committing suicide. Every generation has stuff like this, you can either get with it or don't, but being the guy who loudly has to let others know your disdain for it doesn't make you a tastemaker par excellence, it makes you an rear end in a top hat.

Yeah, I can't hate nu-metal because Limp Bizkit and Korn were my gateway to metal and then my buddy loaned me the black album in high school and I was hooked. Plus metal in general has meant a lot to kids who didn't feel like they belonged anywhere else and that is extremely important for anyone, but especially for a teenage kid who doesn't feel like he matters to anyone else. You matter to your metal brothers and sisters, you have a community that understands what it's like to feel like an outcast. It sounds corny, but metal changed my life for the better.

Follow The LeadeR was a critical album of my teenage years and one of my best friends had a Slipknot jumpsuit. I never dyed my hair back then and kinda regret it.

Say what you will about black metal stage names, but when you dub yourselves with names like Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, or Johnny loving Christ, your band sucks.

I was 16 in 1998 and I grew up on a healthy diet of Nirvana, White Zombie, Metallica and Alice in Chains. I missed the Slipknot bus (I like a couple of their songs) but I was totally into Korn, the Deftones and I even listened to a Limp Bizkit song or two. Oh and I would drive around blaring Kid Rock as loud as I could.

And White Zombie is great, though Rob Zombie has always been kind of hit or miss for me. In retrospect, Astrocreep is pretty brutally heavy for something that saw regular airplay.
