You go to enough rock and metal shows and after a while you're convinced you've seen just about every possible variation of a mosh pit there could ever be. Circle pits? Standard. Twerkle pits? Scene Queen has them down. Macarena pits? Yep, seen a few of those. I swear no metal band post-2009 has been able to play more than 10 minutes without getting everyone to go down low and then 'jumpdafuckup' together. Crowds are even rowing at Deafheaven gigs now (Amon Amarth, what have you done?!).
This is, however, the first time I've seen a full-blown, all-serving catwalk open up in the middle of a rock show. If 'rock show' is even accurate - Alt Blk Era owe as much to the arena drum 'n' bass of Pendulum and Chase & Status as they do the throbbing trap metal of Ghostemane or the cross-pollinating anthemi-core of Bring Me The Horizon. Whatever: no sooner has Hunt You Down's glistening dance-pop wrapped up than the catwalk has closed up and The Underworld is back to dancing and moshing its ass off.
