That shuffle dance people do to dance music looks terrible

r/

I keep seeing it all over social media. It’s a terrible dance that needs to go, people should stop doing it. It doesn’t even look like they’re enjoying the music, they’re just concentrating on doing this stupid dance. And just to pre-empt the “one person doesn’t like a dance so thinks nobody should do it” – yep, that’s why I’m writing it here, because it’s an opinion I have and it might be unpopular. Thanks.

    Dunno what this particular dance is but all of those social media dances look stupid. I think even the people who do them know this. Cringe is very in right now.

    Do you have a link to said shuffle dance? Are we talking the Cupid Shuffle or Truffle Shuffle? Or are we going LMFAO and everyday we shufflin’?

    I don’t know how to dance that’s not just a shuffle and perhaps, if it’s warranted, a slight shimmy.

    This entire sub is, LITERALLY, “I don’t like when other people enjoy this thing”. The unique brand of negativity it allows is wildly hard to ignore as well. Fucked up!

    Those are the ones who are still learning and aren’t really “flowy” with it. At some point, they’ll get more comfortable and do it naturally or just keep doing it for their videos and not irl when they’re trying to have fun. Even then, who cares.

    You sound dehydrated. Go get some water.

    I think I know what you’re talking about and I agree with you. it looks so lame. most of the time they’re not even in sync with the music. I get not knowing how to dance. I don’t know what i’m doing either but at least I sync to the rhythm, not try to keep up with it

    “I hate seeing people having fun” was a lot easier to post.

    Shuffling has been around a long time. I don’t watch videos of it but I’ve seen it in person. It’s done at raves. Been a thing before social media

    Are you talking about a line dance?

    Is it a specific dance? Otherwise – I’ve seen a lot less “shuffling” lately. The “shuffling” ones I don’t like are when it looks highly choreographed (doesn’t match the music) and looks like it’s solely for social media. I do like seeing any video where someone is just vibing to the music.

    And where else do you encounter this dancing besides your phone? Do you dance at clubs or raves? My initial assessment is that yours is a weird, useless opinion at best, but I’d need to know more to really trash it.
