To Moonstomp: a simple dance derived from earlier styles of reggae to associate with offbeat genres such as ska and dub.
Despite popular belief, this does not have anything to do with violent acts with both feet upon one's head, and is wrongly thought to become associative with the extreme neo-fascist ideas of cult film "American History X"
Despite unpopular belief, the term or idea wasn't made famous on Rancid's "Roots Radicals" song on the "Out Come The Wolves" album, neither.
It is also referred to as "skanking", which has it's origins in Jamaica, also. This is a perfectly respectable name.
To moonstomp conventionally, it is suggested that you raise your left leg along with your left arm and produce a low kicking movement towards the ground in front while making a slow and gentle "punching the air" movement with your fist, sweeping it behind your right leg and doing the same movement symmetrically with your right leg and right arm and thus repeating, to the rhythm and tempo of the ska or dub song, until the end of the song.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

A fast danceable ska piece. Up tempo song set with fast upstrummed guitar and crazy walking bass. Often Instrumental only or having less importance put on lyrics and singing. May have odd, incoherent or otherwise shouted lyrics.
In reggae you have dub. this is a reggae piece with slightly different sections and less singing. this dubbing was to make the music better for DJ's. in SKA you have a moonstomp which is simply a song to get crazy and dance to, to skank to.
