Boyfriends/husbands, if you don't want your girl hurt, don't get her near the Pit dumbass! 7. Always assist a fellow Soldier no matter what. We are all brothers in the Pit. History Slam dancing began in the 1970's at Punk Rock shows and later developed into moshing in the early 1980's. Moshing is rumored to have originated in Southern California (L.A.) during the early 80's. As Punk music became more aggressive the audience response was to match the intensity and aggressive nature of this new music. Along with the audience slamming into each other, moshing was defined by strutting around in a circle, swinging your arms around and hitting anyone within your reach. this form of moshing was termed the "Huntington Beach Strut" after the neighborhood of Orange County where it originated. Author Steven Blush writes: "According to lore, Mike Marine, a former U.S. Marine and star of "The Decline of Western Civilization", performed the first slam dance in 1979. Marine created a vicious version of punk dancing. He'd smash the fucking face on anyone who would get near him--especially some hippie, who'd get pulverized."
