An old kind of dancing that resembles a robot. It remains semi-popular today.

This can take many different shapes and forms. For example, you could be the standard-lame-person-who-can't-dance and just move your arms up and down in a stiff manner while moving your head around in a robotic fashion. This method is generally frowned upon as n00bish. While this basic kind of robot dancing is lame, a good robot dancer can turn heads even today. Deft control of the wrists, elbows, shoulders, waist, knees, feet, spine, neck, head, eyes, and mouth are required for an expert at the robot. This movement apearing like a robot can be as smooth or jittery as the music allows. Generally works best with most kinds of electronic music, but much straight beat rock and funk works just as well. BPM (tempo) ranges may vary with the dancing style.

All names of Moves and Sub Styles are made up. The moves and styles still exist, however.
Some "The Robot" Moves:
"Hydrolics" - going from stiff to limp at will.
"Liquid Robot" - jittering liquid dance that resembles a strobe light effect.
"Stutter" - moving back and forth between two positions rapidly, making the dancer look like a frozen VHS screen.


Sub-styles are:
"The Man in a Robot Suit" - danger will robinson!
"Industrial Robot" - Much meaner and stiffer.
"The Funky Robot" - It's a robot that doesn't care to look like a robot, but isn't really that great of a dancer.
"The Glitch Robot" - An excessive ammount of stuttering occurs. Enough to convince any normal person that this person is having a seisure. Really only works with glitch or stutter-edit music.
"Putty" - a style that makes the dancer appear as pliable as Silly Putty(tm). Not technically robot dancing, but requires the same full body control.
Look! Phil's doing the robot! I wish I could do that. All I can do is wave my hands around like a raver. I'm gonna go cut my wrists now. :'(

Get the robot, the mug.
Lonely men in their early/mid 20s who have no friends no direction in life are extremely socially awkward and have never had sex nor a girlfriend before.

Robots usually live with their parents and live on NEETbux if they aren't wagecucking at a place like McDonald's or in college.

They avoid people on purpose and spend all day in their mom's basement shitposting on the /r9k/ board on 4chan and eating chicken tenders while watching anime and fapping to all kinds of porn while mommy takes care of them they rot away in their hikikomori neckbeard nest full of piss bottles.

Robots also hate chads and stacies and they will let you know about it.

It is common on /r9k/ for robots to get trolled by normies lurking the board and robots will usually respond with Pepe or Wojak memes and say Reeeeeeeeee get off my board.
We are robots we have never had sex.

Get the Robots mug.
A frequent member of the ROBOT9000 community. Typically a NEET or a failed normie. He lacks real-life social skills and communicates with other robots through posting feels and variations of an animated frog. Robots are usually miserable about being lonely and tfw no gf which can lead them to become suicidal. They are generally hostile to those they perceive to be normies and redditors invading and stealing from their community. Robots hate chad with all their being.
Why can't you normies leave us robots alone?

When threatened, robots scream REEEEEEEEEEEEE
