The indie rock shuffle consists of the rhythmic moving of the torso and head back and forth while performing on a guitar/bass, leaning over the instrument (which is usually worn fairly high), at an awkward angle.
It isn't technically a shuffle, because oftentimes the musician isn't moving their feet at all.
The name is derived from the fact that it has become custom for indie guitarists and bassists to unconsciously move like this while performing.
Somtimes mistaken for a standing seizure, it's the indie guitarist's substitute for headbanging.

Kate: Dude, what's wrong with those guitarists in Phoenix? Are they ok?
Albert: Oh don't worry. They're just doing the indie rock shuffle. It's cooler than headbanging.

Shuffling is described by some as "dancing", when in fact, it as actually when you drag your feet along the floor instead of walking.
The so-called "dance" is when the "dancer" jerks bits of their body around in an awkward-looking fashion, that sort of looks like a cross between poor attempts at the robot, the moonwalk and miming all at once.
It basically makes the person look like a complete idiot, try-hard and wannabe. It is for people who know they can't dance properly, or who are just too ashamed of themselves to dance like a normal person.
Shuffling is NOT dancing. It is what you do when you want to look like an idiot and an amateur.

Get the Scuff mug.Engaging in an elite echelon of douchebaggery most commonly practiced in the United States, primarily anywhere within the state limits of New Jersey, and directly influenced by the distinguished music stylings of party noisemakers LMFAO.
