I think the old OC1ers with the boats on their head had the best dance moves of the afternoon. Scott's moves with his paddle came in a close second.

Breaking the Code: A Guide to Festival and Dubstep Lingo
by FrontSherpa Posted on September 15, 2011
Fripsters, Hoopers, Womp and Wookies
Error! Filename not specified.ACL 2010
Two nights ago on America's Got Talent, Iluminate performed to a Calvin Harris song, then I realized not only was it his new single, Feel So Close, it was the Nero remix. That song JUST came out. What is going on? I'll tell you what.
EDM is mainstream and Dubstep is the new Nickleback.
If you are one of the many new to the scene, you may be wondering, first off, what is EDM? What the heck all these people running around in furry boots and tutus doing at Kaskade? What does Womp mean and why does that girl have it written on her chest? What's up with these "tribes" of people in furry animal hats? Well, here you go. A guide to EDM, festival-speak, dubstep-dancing and everything that goes along with it.
EDM: Short for electronic dance music. If you don't know what that is I would suggest using wikipedia, and then, reevaluating your life.
Dubstep: Know to insiders as "bass music" the dubstep music scene is currently the biggest thing since sliced bread. Typically slower and harder-hitting than usual electronic dance music, wookies love to womp to this type of sound. Think Rusko and Caspa and with the new cross-genre, loosely defined dubsteb encompassing the popular Bassnectar, Nero and Skrillex.
Womp: Used to describe the bass sounds in dubstep music. Often used multiple times, such as "womp womp" or "this rusko beat womps so hard".
Dubstreamer: This one made me laugh, and while new to the scene, so true. A term coined by hippsterrunoff.com, it describes "an emerging genre of suburban bros who are vibing to the recent 'trendy' electronic music called 'dubstep' that is going mainstream."
Electro Shuffle: Originating as the "Melborne Shuffle" in the late 1980′s underground rave and club scene, the fast heel-and-toe dance experienced a recent revival thanks to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem, and the lyrics "everyday I'm shuffling". This style of dancing is suitable for various types of electronic music, my favorite example of this is set to Mord Fustang's Milky Way, below.
Frippie/ Frippster: A cross between frat and hippie, or frat and hipster this term was coined by fellow Sherpas to describe the increasingly cross-genre subculture that is currently roaming the streets and festivals of Austin, Texas. Placing value on both their 9-5 and their social life, frippsters often don a button down during the week and a bandana and chacos on the weekend. They can be seen roaming the aisles of Whole Foods, chilling out at Blues on the Green or enjoying a brew at Barton Springs Saloon. They feel a strong pull toward music and festivals and everything neon.
Wookie: A festival goer whose existence consists of following around jam bands and pan-handling at festivals. A wookie probably hasn't showered since Burning Man…last year. Wookies love to womp, can be seen in dirty backpacker/homeless attire possibly barefoot and getting down to dubstep. (Not to be confused with a hippie who is someone who lives a certain lifestyle due to their beliefs. Hippies often shower and have jobs.)
Trance: A sub-genre of tecno/electronica. This type of music usually involves a relaxing/upbeat tune and often features female vocals. The furry boot wearing girls in tutus and fishnets (also known as Rave Girls) tend to surface anytime trance music is involved.
Spirithoods: Seen on both guys and girls, the idea is to find your spirit animal from a plethora of furry hoodies with paws (which happen to be great for dancing). You can find any animal you can think of, ranging from wolves to pandas, cheetahs to snow leopards. If you are in the market to buy a spirit hood, I would recommend spirithoods.com. They are by far the most well crafted I have seen on the festival circuit, and if you choose a ProBlue hoodie, 10% of the proceeds go the the endangered animal fund that corresponds to your animal.
Tribe: A term that is being casually thrown around to mean your clan, group, pack, and other like-minded festival goers. Those that wear spirithoods usually refer to other hoodie wearers as being part of their "tribe".
Hoopers: What was once a childhood pastime is now a festival activity for all ages. Predominately female, and preferably good looking, hoopers tend to lean toward hippie and usually wear some kind of belly-baring attire while they sensually (I know, you have to see it to believe it) dance with one, or multiple hoola hoops.
This weekend's ACL presents the perfect opportunity to try out your newly-expanded vocabulary. So go forth and dance the dance. Feel the base in your chest and throw your hands in the air when the music drops. Slap on your glowsticks and head out into the night with your sunglasses on because you my friend are now a festival-going, EDM-listening, dubstepping-pro.
These definitions are straight from our Sherpas and have been augmented by Urban Dictionary. Have any other unique festival slang you want to share? Or a better definition than what we provided? We would love to hear from you! Please, drop us a comment, below or email us a frontsherpa@gmail.com.
