At When We Were Young Fest in Las Vegas, the mosh pit remains one of the hottest debate topics among attendees. A recent Reddit poll titled "Are you IN or OUT of the pit?" captured the diverse spectrum of fan experiences and preferences.
Some fans clamor for front-row proximity without the madness of the pit—like x_kid, who values the energy but avoids the pit due to concerns around size and physical coordination. Others such as LetsConsultTheMap and Tracy_Turnblad opt out entirely, citing age and the toll on recovery after long days.
Anxiety and comfort lead folks like littlemybb to stake out mellow spots near food trucks, enjoying snacks and drinks while avoiding the chaos. The barricade zone continues to serve as a favored refuge for many, including amandamaniac, who wants safety without losing connection to the stage energy.
However, die-hard pit diehards—WhereAreMyDarnPants and Any-Ad1770—embrace every second of the pit’s intense, raw energy, reveling in the crowd’s fierce enthusiasm.
This divide highlights the festival’s balance of youthful adrenaline and an evolving mixed-age crowd, making the pit both a must-experience and a polarizing aspect of When We Were Young’s live environment.
