What is Mosher?
Somebody who listens to rock, punk, metal, and doesn't conform to social norms. Usually dresses in a similar way to the music they listen to, but a lot of moshers dress how they feel. They're basically modern day hardcore kids.
Filthy Chav: yo yo wassup innit blud mate I'll 'av ya if ya touch mah bae again
Mosher: (kills the chav with a single punch)

Mosher - what is it?
A cultural phenomenon in the UK (and else where?). Mosher is a term used in mass terms (main by opposing stereotypical youth, the Kev, or Scally) to stereotype any youth who listens to any type of rock music, that doesn’t get played on pop radio (though ironically most Mosher bands are on major labels), and abides to a certain dress sense. In reality this isn’t a far comment, as a Mosher is somewhat frowned upon in many of the scenes that get put under the same brush: such as the Hardcore, and Metal scenes. Today the Mosher is some what of a dying breed with the new cultural phenomenon (okay, trend) Emo has taken its place and most of the “Moshers” with it. Though, there is a borderline where Emo and Mosher meet, however this is usually to do more with wealth than anything else (with “Fashioncore” clothes and accessories costing more than some can afford). Moshers tend to feel as though they need to set themselves apart from the crowd and often at outrageously, and wear black and baggy clothing, though it must be said that most fail and look as generic as those they moan about. Whereas Kevs are regarded as socialising near there homes, at parks and on street corners, Moshers tend to hang more in city centres around shopping centres and such, thus the term Mallgoth.
Music: Read Kerrang what’s hot in that’ll be a good clue.
Dress sense: None… Sorry, Black baggy jeans (DDs) and black baggy band shirts, usually poorly printed (ironed!) on as they’ve been bought somewhere like afflecks palace (aptly called Mosher Palace by some random stranger I meet on a bus once). Badges on their groovy bag, for some reason they can’t have backpacks. :s poorly applied make up, usually black this is probably to make them look evil and accounts for both genders.
Personality traits: varied, though often seen as moody, and use of Americanisms even though they are British.
There are differences between Moshers and… True Metalhead (all types, art, BM, DM, etc), Real Hardcore (again all styles UKHC, NYHC, etc…), Indie (I don’t even see how they get called Moshers!), and Emos (though Emo is IMO Moshers pretty sister)… So don’t fucking call me one!.. Or any who isn’t.
Mosher: hey look at me, man, I’m different and really heavy!!! GGEEERRRRR.
Me: Oh.
Mosher: What you listening to, dude?
Me: Tribes of Neurot .
Mosher: oh, cool dude, real heavy, awesome man.
Me: No, not at all.
Mosher: Oh, got something heavy..? Can I listen?
Me: Okay… Nile good enough for you.
Mosher: Never heard of them!?! Bet they’re no where near as heavy as Slipknot, Slipknot are the heaviest band in the world… Anything heavier you’d die… They are really heavy Death Metal
Me: *Tuts*… Just listen or fuck off.
*passes earphones and presses play*
Mosher: …
*The Mosher falls to the floor and starts to die*
Me: Someone should really phone this geek an ambulance.

Mosher - what does it mean?
A 'Mosher' is the name for people who listen to anything from rock-metal-deathcore and arent bothered if they're popular or not. They tend to hate chavs (who can blame them) and aren't obssessed with slipknot like most people make out. Not all 'moshers' have long hair and they wear any clothes that arent trackies. Overall they are very friendly unless your a chav and quite a few of them smoke, drink and take drugs but they don't do it to show off.
Mosher 1: *hug* Hi. have u heard suicide silence's new album yet.
Mosher 2: Yeh its fair good but i prefer all that remains newest album.
Mosher 3: Yeah but has anyone heard JFAC's new album.
Mosher 1 & 2: Yeah

Chav: oy has any of you got a light
Mosher 2: I do
Chav: Can i have it
Mosher 2: No
Chav: Dickhead. i'm gonna get my uncle on you when he gets out of prison
Mosher - meaning
A mosher is someone who dosent really care what you or anyone else thinks. They are really nice people and really only hate chavs. They are not greasy, dirty or unclean. They dont nessicarly have long hair and they dont cut. They do love rock music and just haveing fun. Im a mosher, and thats because i love to mosh at shows. im currently whearing jeans, a NIN t-shirt and my converse. i love being a mosher. we stand up for whats right and just.
i cant give one because Moshers are not all in the same category
Mosher - definition
Prehistoric rocker.
Before depression, drainpipes and emo, there was light-heartedness, baggy jeans and moshers.
These were people who listened to a wide variety of rock music, but weren't particularly interested in fashion. Playing guitar out of genuine interest and skateboarding among teenage moshers was very common, unlike today, where many are too self-conscious to attempt any sport activity.
Attire can include anything from casual everyday wear, to So-Cal statements such as dickies shorts and high socks a-la Blink 182, to baggy hoodies and jeans, often with chains attached. Skinny jeans had not yet been invented.
Genuinely want to have a good time whilst moshing and headbanging in the 'mosh pit', hence where the word 'mosher' originated. Generally open-minded, fun, and nice people, always up for a party, often have many 'mosher' friends. Are indifferent to dirt and greasiness. Hate labelling or stereotypes. Only known enemies are jerks, chavs, neds and council estate working class pyromaniacs.
Most popular from the early-mid 1990's to early 2000's.
Extinct by about 2002.
Chav: 'See that mosher, mate! F*ckin' goth freak, like! Oi, turn around before I break you're f*ckin' jaw with me kappas, like!'
Mosher:...
Mosher - slang
First of all letm ejust clear something up, moshers do not listen to Grean day although of course there are some that may listen to it as well as what moshers are labelled for, death metal and heavy metal. Moshers do not slit their wrists (of course there are exceptions). The only thing that can give you reasoning to label someone as a mosher is that they mosh ( very and a great workout). Moshers are not satanic, they do not necessarily have long hair (although lots do).
Chav: Look a load of Moshrs.
Moshers: Go fuck your pregnant girlfriend
Chav: *Runs Away*

Mosher
Back in the 80's hardcore crossed with metal and moshpits began to happen at metal concerts aswell as hardcore punk concerts. Initially a mosher was anyone who listened to metal/metalcore/hardcore/grindcore ect, and obviously moshed. In england after the "nu wave" of metal (american nu metal not the NWOBHM) a mosher became a derogatory reference to anybody who broke social trends such as, indie's, alternatives, metalheads, goths, punks, emo's, scenesters's ect. Many people now associate a mosher as someone who listents to alot of nu-metal (slipknot, linkin park, adema, spineshank) and the general clothing consists of baggy jeans, skate shoes, plain t-shirts and a band hoodie, but the modern day moshers barley exist today.
Chav: Mish mosh get a wash
Mosher: I hate walking past the job center
