The Melbourne Shuffle!

The Melbourne Shuffle is a type of dance that is often performed at hardcore raves and any other places where you're likely to hear horrible music with ear-piercing synth lines and drum lines that may remind you of Nazis marching into war. It's sort of like a mix between the Ska Skank and the Moonwalk.

I love watching people do the Melbourne Shuffle for many reasons and luckily there are plenty of videos on YouTube of people doing the dance. The reason for that being that the kind of people that do this dance are the kind of weird internet fiends that have an account on every social-networking site (especially vampirefreaks.com) and use the xD emoticon.

Trust me, if xD could dance it would do the Melbourne Shuffle.

The video below is one of my FAVOURITE videos on YouTube. Everything about it is perfect. From his awful fucking trousers to his saying "Dance for express, not to impress."

If I were the one in that video I'd have made sure the part where the cop stands on my foot never saw the light of fucking day. But that kind of sums up what kind of people the Melbourne Shufflers are. They aren't embarrassed or anything and seem to have little dignity. But I guess they're just having fun at the end of the day.

Another interesting thing that I've noticed about these Melbourne Shuffle videos is that they're rarely done INDOORS or in the bedroom's and I can only figure out two reasons that may be the cause of this:

1, Because their parents are sick of them stamping their feet on the fucking floor upstairs while they're trying to watch Eurotrash downstairs.

2, Because they actually think it's cool and want to show off in the most awkward of places.

It really is quite a fascinating thing to watch and if you find any little gems that you think I might not have already seen then please do show me. One of the best ones I've seen is a video dedicated to the girlfriend of one of the Melbourne Shufflers and he kept lifting his shirt to show his six-pack off. Unfortunately I didn't bookmark it and have since lost it.

If anyone finds it, LINK ME YE?
