A sweaty, writhing mass of teenagers who gather together for a school-sponsored Friday night of grinding and generally throwing themselves at each other. Typically set to bare-bones rap designed so that you can't do many moves aside from grinding.
If you want to have a good time without getting crushed, stay on the edge of the writhing mass, where you can still socialize but you actually have room to dance.
I took a big chance at the high school dance with a lady who was ready to play.

Quite possibly the single most controversial piece of electronic music ever produced. Released by The Prodigy in 1997, the lyrics consist entirely of eight words sampled from the classic hip-hop track "Give the Drummer Some." Four of those eight are, well, "smack my bitch up." The song has been interpreted as meaning a variety of things, ranging from shooting heroin to domestic violence to doing things intensely, the last of which is what the band maintains as the actual meaning.
The song was coupled with an equally controversial video, which depicts a wild night of sex, drugs, and violence from a first-person perspective. However, it was far from mindless- in fact, the video consistently ranks as one of the best ever made, and contains a twist that makes people rethink their entire interpretation of the song. Personally, I came away from it thinking the song was one big joke making fun of people who will dance to anything without caring what the lyrics are, but I'll let you decide for yourself.
Guy #1: Have you heard that song, "Smack My Bitch Up"?
Girl: OMG, that song is so offensive!
Guy #2: Yeah, but you have to admit, there's a lot worse. Just listen to rap music.

A nu metal band that pretty much sounded like KoRn if they had something of a goth influence and Rob Zombie was their lead singer. They got their big break because of Ozzy Osbourne, who got them on the setlist for Ozzfest 1996, appeared in the video for "Loco," their signature (non-cover) song, and made a guest appearance on their cover of "Shock the Monkey."
Other than that, the main things they had going for them were their female bassist and their ridiculous hairstyles. Overall, they were pretty meh, and certainly far from the worst their genre had to offer. Their lead singer is now the frontman for another band called DevilDriver, where he does not sound like Rob Zombie.
Guy #1: Hey man, did you go to that Coal Chamber show last night? It was LOCO!
Guy #2: Are they even around anymore?

(v.)- to drop all standards and wholeheartedly agree without question.
Often used by self-absorbed teenagers or fangirls in response to any criticism or counterargument of virtually anything, depending on which one you talk to.
Generic guy: I think One Direction makes subpar music.
Fangirl: Stop hating! You wish you were one of them!

Guy #1: The New York Giants play boring football. Half the reason they win is because they take forever on offense.
Guy #2: Why don't you stop hating and bow down before us?

Guy #1: Dude, you probably shouldn't play in traffic.
Guy #2: You should just stop hating. You're just jealous because I thought of it first!
