I figured "moshers" was from "moshing", but it didn't seem to fit what I knew

I think both of those types in the U.S. would fall under the general "white trash" umbrella

It's odd... "moshers" tend be middle class (not always though) and "chavs" (or wannabe chavs) are a combination of working and middle class.

working class and middle class blur in the u.s.

Hence the 'bling-bling' vulgar-display-of-what-wealth-you-have aspect of chav 'culture': designer sports clothes, chunky gold jewelry, flashy cars etc.
Danny is apparently based on an ancient hippy called Ash who now makes stills in the Welsh mountains. He also claims to be the owner of Procul Harem, the cat that inspired the band name...
All this and more in here which is a mine of information and funny too

Thinking back to music I adored as a teenager, it saddens me to think that if Nirvana were around today they would in all probability be pigeonholed as 'emo'.
Only because no one remembers what emo actually sounds like.

If Nirvana had never formed in the first place, and there had never been the "alternative" rock boom of the 90s, then rock would sound very different today. I mean, would indie or emo or metal be the same? I know these things existed before Nirvana, but they went a long way towards popularising them over the last fifteen years.

Very true.
Back to the topic at hand, I think this is surely the most chilling drug warning ever:
PMA is dangerous because it is both a serotonin releaser (like MDMA) and a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI). At high levels the concurrence of these attributes creates serotonin syndrome, which can lead to extremely high body temperature with all the associated negative symptoms.
Coupled with a low therapeutic index makes it quite a dangerous drug.
I'm curious as to how prevalent PMA is currently, there were a spate of deaths in 2001. I'd be suprised if there was much going round at the moment - if there was there'd be deaths in the media and the medical press. The only recent report is from Australia this year of one death.
Since we've moved onto actual stories that put you off drugs rather than drug-war propaganda, a friend of a friend:
Attempted to snort half an E. Forgot the all important crushing up stage, half a pill lodged in his nose over the next day as it slowly dissolved.
This is truly vile:
On a traveller's site, k-heads blew their snot against the metal wall of a toilet block. On individual, out of ketamine, was so desperate as to scrap off the dried snot, crush it up and re-snort the mixture....

Ooh, I've got a good one.
A FOAF was at a club once, already completely wasted (just on booze, I think) and decided it'd be a good idea to take a pill. So he swallows it but it immediately comes back up, along with a significant quantity of stomach contents, into his pint glass. Unperturbed, he proceeds to drink his puke to reclaim the pilly goodness. Not surprisingly, it doesn't stay down for long, although by this time he's made it to the bogs. He re-pukes into the bowl and then starts scooping the pukey bog-water into his mouth in order not to 'waste' this pill, which he wouldn't have felt anyway due to the booze and must have cost him, ooh, all of three or four quid.
Pure class.

and i thought i'd seen it all when i watched junkies go through their garbage to scrap bags up into a shot
About ten years ago myself and friends used to frequent a house club every weekend for several months and took lots of pills. One friend would only ever need to take one and would be way more fucked than any of the rest of us. When fully up on the pill his eyes would roll right back and his chin would be in a position you would not think possible. He would also need to be guided around by one or two of us while in this state and would only be able to walk at a stupidly slow pace. We all found it very amusing and he continued to do pills with us despite their affect on him.
After a few episodes of this people began to clock him from previous occasions and he started to become a bit of a celebrity amongst the regulars! The peak was one night where, while walking him through the large chillout area, the 1-200 resting ravers applauded as we moved through...
