Grooverhead

/ɡruːvərhed/ noun

Definition

A person who is an enthusiast of groove music or dancing; a groovy person.

Etymology

From 'groover' (one who grooves) + 'head' (suffix used in 1960s-70s slang meaning enthusiast or devotee, as in 'acidhead' or 'pothead').

Kelly Says

This delightfully dated slang term captures the 1970s counterculture's obsession with rhythm and 'being in the groove.' The suffix '-head' was wildly popular then for describing people by their obsessions—it's a window into how that era classified identity.
