What are 'Phat Pants'?
Phat pants or phatties are a cut of jeans worn by ravers that are fitted at the waist but get wider
down the legs all the way to the ground where they enclose the feet due to their width. Phat pants are usually worn by ravers and can be used as a visual identifier. Usually made of denim, but can be made of any material. Ravers will often customise their phat pants by covering them with reflective materials of their own design, the brighter the better. This can help with recognition at raves.
Phat pants are often worn with braces that are not designed to be worn over the shoulders. They are quite often too short to do this anyway. They hang loosely on the pants from carabiners at the waist, and are usually brightly coloured webbing with a reflective strip sewn down the middle. Usually, the binding ring at the back is a heavy metal, which helps the braces to swing out in an arc around the dancer when spinningMore commonly know as Tripp pants since it is a clothing line sold in stores such as Hot Topic under the brand name of Tripp NYC some times called "Tripps". It is a fashion style mostly worn by punk and goth clicks thought the womens styles are sought after by emo clicks.

Melbourne Shuffle
What is the 'Melbourne Shuffle?
The Melbourne shuffle is a style of dance, which originated in the late 1980s in the Melbourne underground scene. The basic movements in the dance are a fast heel-and-toe action with a style suitable for various types of electronic music. Some variants incorporate arm movements.
History of the 'Melbourne Shuffle.
Melbourne Shuffle footwork is based in Celtic dance, in particular Irish Dance. There has been a large Celtic population in Melbourne since the gold rush era, mostly from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Iberia/Spain and Gaul/France.
The traditional jig (gigue) and reel music to Celtic dance are essentially melody loops. The melody spread over 4,8,16 bars would usually be repeated or looped 4 times, then there would be a change of tunes going through the same loop process. Often getting faster with each repeat.
This suited the new digital loop structure of electronic dance music of the time, acid, techno, psytrance, perfectly.
Most girls in Melbourne attended recreational dance classes from when they were 6 years old. It was as common as kids playing sports in Melbourne.
Celtic dance is the basis for tap dance and was introduced into New York by Irish immigrants in the 1800's. Tap is part of the standard repertoire of dance classes, especially Shirley Temple styled tap for younger dancers.
Classical ballet is the other main dance stream in dance classes. Melbourne has all the major dance universities and colleges of Australia, the Australian Ballet was founded in and is still based Melbourne. So dancers from around the country moved to Melbourne for dance studies. They also loved dance parties, as you would expect.
Facts about the 'Melbourne Shuffle'.
Today known as "shuffling" to the Melbourne locals, the name "Melbourne shuffle" has been derived from overseas DJs, party goers, visitors and the media trying to describe this phenomenon. 'The Age' referred to it as looking like "a cross between the chicken dance and a foot stomping robot" to the untrained eye, but locals have simply called it the "shuffle" since 1992.
Some dancers sprinkle talcum powder on the floor beneath their feet to help them glide more easily, some including 360 degree spins or jumps into their moves.
