duvalian stare

A look that all Duval County residents get when they realize they have any semblance of power in a potentially chaotic situation.

The Duvalian stare became publicly known outside of Jacksonville, FL during the controversial Woodstock 1999 performance of Limp Bizkit, which frontman Fred Durst displayed prominently during the bridge-breakdown of the hit single, ‘Break Stuff’. A gleeful Durst realizes that he has become the master of a crowd of 400,000, and the wheels of chaos begin visibly turning in his head, culminating with the command: “Time to reach deep down inside. Take all that negative energy and let that shit out of your fucking system.” What happened next was nothing short of pandemonium, though Durst’s role in the later riots that destroyed the venue has been grossly exaggerated.

“Time to leave, big bro. I just saw the Duvalian stare. Someone’s about to choose violence.”
