Throwing Air

Throwing Air:

When an artist, particularly within the electronic bass music scene, while playing a set suddenly unleashes an exorbitant quantity of love through sonic art. This style of art commonly known as music, otherwise characterized as precise manipulative vibrations of air.

This slang saying is said to have its origins at the very first Wakaan festival in 2019. In the spirit of Throwin' Air, festival participants partook in an unspoken abstract metaphysical interpretation of the aforementioned phrase by graciously flapping Chinese fountain palm fans on fellow festival goers, effectively fanning air on each other. NOT to be confused with actually Throwin' Air, which is one can only obtain through true artistic aptitude, growth, and lastly access to a minimum of at least 400,000 Watts of the almighty Bass.

Example of use passively in conversation:

*Runs to find group of homies at the fucking totem pole that nobody wants that guy in your group to bring but its a festival so we gotta let it slide* "DJ Apple iOS was straight up throwin' air when he dropped his classic finger combo and unleashed 'Option–Volume Up'?! I hope there's not much moisture in the air otherwise we might end up with a high intensity tornado formed from a supercell thunderstorm emerging, as the saying goes.
Throwing Air - When an artist at a music festival for bass music, such as the real MVP - Wakaan Festival - Drops a crunchy bass drop that is to not only your personal liking, but to the liking of the entire audience. When that happens, you can could say that certain artist is "Throwing Air" (same/similar/almost the same word, except the 'g' is on the stage doing this Throwin' Air)
