This dance, aptly named the “Frat Flick,” is predominantly popular among college-age men attending fraternity parties. They often gather on the sidelines, engaging in the Flick to blend in with the party atmosphere.
Techniques vary: some perform an overhanded Flick with their pointer finger pointing straight ahead and their palm facing down. Others opt for a sideways, diagonal Flick that resembles a gesture like “go over there.” There are also those who bounce their palms up and down, reminiscent of a ’90s dance move intended to “raise the roof.”

Regardless of the variation, all versions maintain one crucial characteristic: the arm should be extended, and the Flick must match the rhythm of the party music.
After going viral, many onlookers have confessed that they were unaware of the name of the move, yet felt “guilty” for performing it at parties and festivals.
Conversely, one user remarked: “I was never in a frat, but now that I know this is called a frat flick, I’m never doing it again.”
