idle

The natural groove struck by a concert-goer when a witnessing live performance. It can be thought of as their noise floor for excitement reflected in their motion. Each person's idle is unique and while perhaps imitable, is not truly reproducible by any other person. It can be used as a verb (idling) or as noun (his or her idle). The idle spectrum encompasses all types of grooves; from the frantic hula girl to the middle aged man entrenched in the front row with ear plugs nodding to the beat.

The term gets its roots from the cars engine which also idles when waiting at a red light.
