Anti foot shuffling campaign

[noam]

they seem to be indicating that young black youths who go to house nights and dance a certain way are the cause of lots of trouble in the 'house scene' in london

which kind of seems a bit racist

[chekov]

uk doent have meth so is never gonna overtake austarlia as shuffle homecoming king

maybe if these people in ldn start smoking meth they'll be less bait and do the dance properly

come on britain

Where does black come into it? the vids & pics seem to be pretty varied

[noam]

one bit where they start goin on about 'urban culture' which is just a euphemism for 'black' and then the next bit they're like 'i know if i go to a pub it'll be full of white guys sniffed up shoutin at the football' etc. etc. so seems to be suggesting that its a 'black' phenomena

[ezza]

Fair enough, i haven't read that bit, but overall it seems to just be a piss take i think. No way can people care that much about the way someone dances

[AxeD]

bru that dance was invented in melbourne ans is called the melbourne shuffle
it came about cos ther is lots of heard trance and ice smoking here so u feel like u float in the dancefloor

grate subcultrue IMO

Skills there, music on the other hand..

I only mind it when it seems people are not even really listening to the music.
Also see a lot of wobbly feet nowadays, stripped down version of these nutters:



Nothing wrong with it of course, just seems like a bit of a hype.

[jigglypuff]

so apparently in europe people who are terrible at 'jacking' call it 'shuffling'. Those vids make me cringe. One of the saving graces of the USA is that our house/deep house scene has stayed relatively awesome over the years. Sorry to see you guys having to deal with that.


PS: some of the tunes in those vids... ugh... how you going to 'jack' to those retartedly hard kicks

Such pride

Like UK folks on this forum don't look at the US dubstep scene and feel lucky to have what they have.

hahahahahahahahaha the amount of times i've seen this image in response to a pkay post hhahahaahahahahahaha

They just posted this vid, & i can sorta see there point. How did it get like this

[Johnlenham]

I wonder why people get so up in arms about this. I wasted some time going through the facebook group and its just comes across as dickheads filming people havning fun at nights and calling them assholes?

I cant say Ive ever seen anyone doing it at any nights ive been to but the house scene is full of try hards so its odd that guys dancing in flatpeaks are looked down upon by people wearing tea cosys.

Tbf i agree with you that you should just let people have fun, but they are so annoying. Its the whole attitude they bring as well, it just gives the place an aggressive vibe & there not just like hipster there like 'rudeboy' types from essex and london who have for some reason latched onto house. I wasn't there when it happend but i guess a bit like with garage.

I mean is there any need to shout fuck off at a tune

[noam]

out of interest how old are you agent 47??

but really, i do get ya to some extent

like some night i ws at a while ago, and the dj dropped Battle For Middle You and there was some guy in front of me going ABSOLUTELY SICK turned round screamin at me 'THIS IS WOTZITZ FUCKIN ABOWT INIT BRO!!' n im tryin to get a little boogie on n he's stompin/jumpin/fist pumpin/screamin

chill out mate its not that good, its not that hype

but shufflin and dance contests n shit just seems kinda bait, but its what people have to done to all types of electronic music for ever

not everyone wants to stand around and nod their heads and be too cool to move

There is a middle ground between being too cool to move and shufflin contests though.

lol at the house bro story. Dunno why we look down on brostep so much, a lot of nights i go to now have house bros who wanna vest out and shout "fuuuuuck off" when they hear a banger. All the DMZ/Exodus nights I've been to in leeds are bro'd off it too.

[gwa]

let people express them send how they want.

propa gay to be condescending up people enjoying themselves

unless someone's going round throwing punches i think you should all STFU

I'm 20 man.

Yeah, i'm sure it has been around for ages and i get what im moaning about is petty, but Its not so much the dancing that annoys me it's the stereotypical guy doing it

I just hate aggressive vibes when you're out, i wanna be having a good time and not worrying about bumping into some steroid loaded, drugged up essex guy

Also man bags are fucking gay.

Fair point.
Its just comes across as both ends of the spectrum kicking off at each other when they are both as bad as each other
Yeah not really sure why everyone is suddenly bumming Hot Creations and that side of house, I guess its what is big in Ibiza and no doubt its being played on Radio one all hours of the day.

Do you even get these people in leeds? from what i've heard you don't... so you can't really comment

[Hedley King]

The heydays of DnB, Grime, 2-Step, Dubstep were always full of rudeboys bringing a bit of aggro, underground clubbing needs a bit of attitude....it's only when a scene gets watered right down to student nights that it all loses any threatening feeling and usually looses the balls that made it good in the first place.

[incnic]

there are gurned out massive arhetypal bros in no shirt and little denims in OZ at blawan lol

its called TECHBRO

they luv the banging dostoirted kicks
