Morphology

moshable + track

The phrase is compositionally built: 'moshable' transparently parses as 'mosh' + the productive adjectival suffix '-able' meaning 'able/suitable to be moshed', and 'track' means a song. Therefore a learner who knows the constituents can readily infer 'a song suitable for energetic dancing/moshing', though note that 'mosh' is slang and may not be known to all B1 learners.

Etymology

The compound moshable track comes from concert talk: moshable means 'able to make people mosh' and track means 'song'. Bands learned which songs make the 'mosh pit' go wild, so a moshable track is any song that gets the crowd jumping and pushing.
