Social Media Moments "ie. Facebook Live" - aka Stage Basking
Big Drop with Both Hands in the Air - aka the Rollincoaster
Fake Knob Touching - aka Knob Mobbin
Using Headphones that Sound Awful and aren't Insulated - ie. Beats, Skullcandy, or any Earbuds - aka Dullcandy Headphones
Playing Classic Techno Hits Remixed into Top 40's EDM - aka Re-Rubadub Refix Remix Bootleg
Staying in a Groove for Less than 1 Minute "Unless Playing Hip Hop, Breaks, or Scratching" - aka Faux Limit Soldier
No Cueing - aka Cueless
No Beat Matching - aka Cheat Matching
Audible BPM Track Transitions - No Headphones or Hands Needed "Proof is in the Pre-production" - aka Propagation Validation
Hugging your Competition in Front of "Your" Fans - aka Busyness Practices
