rocking out
Lost in music
Rocking out is losing yourself in music, especially rock music—playing air guitar, headbanging, dancing wildly, or otherwise expressing uninhibited enthusiasm: We spent the whole concert rocking out in the front row.
The phrase suggests physical abandon and joyful intensity, whether you're performing or just listening.
