DDR
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Dance Dance Revolution (commonly called DDR (Dee-Dee-Are) or sometimes Dance Dance by the culturally out-of-touch) is a video game that involves feigning epilepsy to the beat of shitty Japanese, Korean, European, and American music. This has caused many people to associate the game with the gay community, though in reality, few gay people play the game since they have better taste in music and actually know how to dance. Furries (supposedly of the gay sort) are the obvious exception here, since they tend to play DDR all the time.
The health benefits of a high-impact aerobic workout are often attributed to DDR by fanboys while ignoring the property damage and serious injury to bystanders that result when the fat kids fall over.
Dance Dance Revolution is easily recognizable at malls and arcades worldwide with its four features:
- System: A machine with arbitrarily flashing lights and loud, crappy music
- Players: One or two of any Overweight/goth/retarded/wapanese/girl/furry/Nigger players pounding away on some metal pad with handlebars
- Fans: Players either awaiting their turn to provide entertainment, or bystanders with nothing else better to do
- Drunks: 20-to-30-something alcoholics that, in between telling dick-and-fart jokes and hitting on underage girls, get their jollies on badly-performed insults towards players
If you see someone with no rhythm playing DDR, please advise them to stop playing immediately. Most arcades will allow you to unplug the machine should your request go unacknowledged, provided that you don't get caught. Also, Godwin's Law of DDR states that 10 year old azn girls will always win.
To provide maximum lulz, always play DDR drunk.

How Not To DDR
Showoffs
There are two types of people who play DDR. Casual "for fun" players as described above, and the showoffs who have done a song so many times they can A) Do it with their eyes closed, B) Get perfect combo ratings with which to boost their already inflated egos, or C) Breakdance on the machines and pads themselves. Some players even dance the steps behind someone else playing while waiting for their turn to play. People who fit into type C are usually Azns, Nigras, bboy wannabes, and actual breakdancing white boys. While there are a small number of types A and C, there are quite a few examples of type B.

Similar Games
Beatmania
Pop'n Music
Similar in concept to Beatmania, where you mash buttons along with music. Unlike Beatmania however, where songs are accompanied by videos or otherwise fancy animations, you instead get to watch furry cartoon characters that dance.
Guitar Hero
Similar in concept to DDR, but instead played with a guitar controller. This game is usually played by those too fat and/or lazy to play DDR, and too unco-ordinated to play Beatmania.
Pump It Up
It's the EXACT SAME THING as DDR, only the arrows point in different directions.

Stepmania
Sometimes, people play DDR sitting down. Alone. In their rooms. This is commonly achieved by downloading an open-source DDR clone called StepMania. StepMania is played using the arrow keys on your keyboard, and offers little health benefit other than the development of extremely nimble fingers.

In The Groove
In The Groove was a clone game developed by Roxor Games, employing the exact same physics of DDR. Although similar, it was far superior to its Konami counterpart because it posessed a songlist that didn't consist entirely of Japanese techno crap, the dance pads had better sensors and actually worked like they were supposed to, and you were able to create custom songs with stepcharts, note that custom songs could only be up to two minutes in length however.
