Milly Rock

A 2014 song by 2 Milly whose dance went viral the following summer and then detached from the record entirely, turning up in American football end-zone celebrations and in stage routines by Rihanna and Travis Scott. The record's entry for a move that stopped needing its music.

Definition @pinned_comment · Poster 7 Jun 2024

The clearest example on file of a dance escaping its song. Most people who could perform the move by 2017 could not have named the record it came from, or the artist.

Obituary @screenshot_sam · Digger 20 Jan 2024

Died around 2019 as a live move, absorbed into the general vocabulary of games and end zones. Survived by an argument, still ongoing, about who owns a dance once it leaves the video.

Sighting @ff7disc2 · Digger 3 Nov 2016

Reported used by footballers as a scoring celebration, which is where dances go once they are common property. A move performed on television by someone who was not paid for it.
