This is so stupid, The harlem shake has been around since 2003 look at any rap video from 03 and you'll see it. And they're ruining this dance.

The first crappy, unorginal yet everyone acts like its new, dance craze of 2013.

#28 Posted by MonsterStomp (2698 posts) - 2 months, 19 days ago - Show Bio

@x_29: Isn't it original? I know the name isn't but the dance?

IMO its stupid, ridiculous, insane but its pretty funny and entertaining. Dumb fun all day.

My goodness people take internet fads too seriously.

"Oh this is stupid."

Of course it's stupid, that's why it's funny, same with Gangnam Style, do you people really expect to go on Youtube and find some groundbreaking, thought provoking videos?? I like this Harlem Shake, and I liked Gangnam Style because they are silly, Geez People.

Its a meme. Its not suppose to be original, or new, or a reboot, its a culmination of peaking interesting, en masse replication and obnoxious cultural/personal invasion. So its basically a thing because its basically a thing. Just a thing that millions of people are watching and commenting on and replicating and overplaying and critiquing and parodying and referencing and.

The good. Its a nice reminder of what people can do when motivated, as far as united goals. Its a a commentary and demonstration of communication, technology and emulation that so many Harlem Shake videos exist and were uploaded so quickly. People of different ethnicities, ages, countries, skin colors, genders, educations, careers, lifestyles all being idiots. Thats kind of cool, and shows that the ability for all those people to do something more meaningful together with each other exists. Its likely that for every ten or 20 generic tired videos there will be one thats providing a humorous satire of the crazy and those involved. I like that too.

The bad. Billions and billions of humans could only dream of living in a world where near instant face to face, person to person intercontinental communication and transmission is a thing. Imagine thew news and the ideas and the philosophy and dreams that could be shared on such a network and... that guy is wearing a wolf mask and Hulk smash hands and dry humping a surfboard right... then again planking. Then again how most people use twitter? Then again most things including the point of me just spending a few minutes to sum up more thoughts on Harlem Shake and posting them here in this thread at this site while you (yes you) read this. Cue X-Files music.

It's what it is to everyone.It's annoying but you laugh at it because it is simply funny and this will be for next 2-3 months.And then it will fade out.
