"Throwing yourself into other people at high speed" is a good description of "B.O.B." actually, which as I recall was considered rock, at least to the extent of not getting played on hip-hop/r&b stations (didn't get played on rock stations much, either; interesting that "Hey Ya" got played on both a couple of years later).

I never threw myself into anyone when dancing to 'BOB'. I danced properly, with my legs and my hips and my arms, in my OWN SPACE.

"B.O.B." was pretty big on our alternative rock station, not as much as "Hey Ya" but enough so that you noticed. "Ms. Jackson," too, those Outkast singles were definitely accepted as rock. The Eminem singles got airplay on the alt rock stations, too. But Creed was also getting big around this time (I think), and Colplay etc., so you could probably find some really bizarre sequences on rock radio around that time.
