Melbourne Shuffle

A great underground rave dance that is still great, but has been screwed up and manipulated by LMFAO.
Here's a the short story of what Melbourne Shuffle is:
Melbourne Shuffle is an underground rave dance that is normally done with Trance/Techno/Hardstyle and/or Rock/Heavy Metal. It originated in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia back in the mid-1980's. Back then people normally danced to trance or rock earning some shuffler's the term "Rocker". When 2004, 2005 rolled around, people started shuffling to Hardstyle and Hard Trance and wearing these baggy pants called "Phat Pants/Rave Pants"
Phat Pants are basically black, baggy thick denim jeans with reflective material on them, often making certain patterns and creates the illusion that they are gliding.
When 2010 rolled around, LMFAO came out with their song "Party Rock Anthem (Everyday I'm shuffling)".
This song, and the manipulated dance style often called "noobie shuffle' or 'newschool shuffle' did not bode well the original, Melbourne Shufflers who just danced for the fun and hanging around with their friends. It is apparent that LMFAO started shuffling just for fame, and only doing a move called the "Running Man" while real shuffling has much more moves like "Spins", "T-Step/SideStep", "Running/Walking Man", and "Kicks".

TL;DR Version:
LMFAO shuffles for fame and money
Melbourne Shuffle is done for fun, and passion.

Melbourne

Melbourne, Florida was incorporated before Melbourne, Australia. They are sister cities.

Melbourne is in Brevard County, the heart of Florida's Space Coast, near Kennedy Space Center. It is also the heart of surfing on the East Coast of the United States. Melbourne is just south of Cocoa Beach, home of the famous Easter Surf Contest.

This is a city with some growing pains, as it moves from being a largish town to becomming a city. Property values have recently spiked dramatically, and the bargain prices that once existed are long gone.
Melbourne, Florida was incorporated in 1892 and is the sister city to the city of the same name in Oz.

Melbourne, Fl

Small town feel, big town drama

Good mix between redneck, hispanic, and ghetto.

Absolutely nothing to do

Very few intelligent people

Lots of annoying "tweens"

Mall is a waste of space - you can see more people at a graveyard

People drink or do recreational drugs to escape their mundane lives
Melbourne, Fl.....

WHY DO PPL STAY HERE?!

Melbourne Mouth

The melbourne mouth or commonly known as #mm is a facial expression in which one will open their mouth as wide as it can go. This expression is adopted in awkward situations or occurences where it is so awkward that a person will be unable to explain their actions, or defend themselves, and thus can only respond with a melbourne mouth.
