NEW - Heavy Metal Has a Reputation for Danger. The Mosh Pit Has Different Rules.

Heavy metal community is the subject and the argument is simple. The music sounds aggressive. The culture is not. Ryan O'Donnell has been to hundreds of shows and never seen a mosh pit that did not stop when someone fell. At all-ages shows, fifteen-year-olds already know to do it. It is not something you learn over time. It is an expectation that comes with the ticket. Good News Tuesday brings a daughter's upcoming visit, a first tropical trip to Mexico's Pacific coast, and the case that heavy metal, from concert floors to dinosaur songs kids have made their own, might be the most welcoming genre there is.
