Stage diving has occasionally caused serious injuries. Initially seen as confrontational and extreme, stage diving has become common at hardcore punk and thrash metal performances. Iggy Pop is often credited with popularising stage diving in popular rock music. Jim Morrison was an early performer known for having jumped into the crowd at several concerts. Many musicians have made stage diving a part of their stage act. Long before the word was invented, public stagediving took place during the first Dutch concert by The Rolling Stones at the Kurhaus of Scheveningen on August 8, 1964.
