Party Rock Anthem

Shuffling dance song

Party Rock Anthem is a 2011 electronic dance song by LMFAO that became a global hit and cultural touchstone for early-2010s party culture.

The phrase evokes high-energy celebration, shuffling dance moves, and carefree excess: The DJ dropped Party Rock Anthem and everyone rushed the floor.

Sometimes used ironically to reference that era's EDM-saturated mainstream pop.
