Sander Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I really hope that the next viral dance craze ends with the participants decapitating themselves with a shard of glass, I have a feeling that it would improve the gene pool. Getting rid of the people who wish nothing but harm onto other people would improve the gene pool. It's such a stupid idea. I don't understand who the idiot was that came up with it, but I wonder if he's got any relation to the idiot that came up with planking. Or coning. Or Silly Bandz. I'm not going to say anything that would imply that I'd want to change your opinion, but come on, is it really necessary to call the origin of the Harlem Shake an idiot just because you don't like it. Especially when the video was made for fun, and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desu the Blue Nerd Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Apparently some radio station around here was holding some silly thrift shop outfit contest and then decided that since this crap became popular they would attempt to pull off the largest Harlem Shake yet at the mall. I guess it works since they won't exactly be wearing normal clothes like some highschools who attempt it would do. It might have been today at noon actually. Hard to say. I'm typically half asleep on the way to school. Would seem smarter to do this when teenagers aren't in school but whatever really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I don't care much for the very large ones. They're kinda boring. Ones like the washing machine, Slenderman, and Rickroll'd are ones I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverweed91 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 The only one I've seen so far is the following one, and it got quite a bit of lulz from me: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hpEnLtqUDg[/youtube] Actually, the very first one I saw was a pony-related one, but I won't bother you posting it xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 If you want a gentle parody of the Harlem Shake, Gangnam Style, planking, YOLO, unnecessary hashtags, and a stange bridge involving the beat of Kanye and Jay-Z's Paris, look no further.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1D40Ls8BBk[/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Βyakuya Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I can say there are only a few good Harlem shake videos that are worth a laugh. But some are just ridiculous and it can seem like a stupid trend when you watch too much of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Tigerwolf Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 There's a huge difference between "Gangnam Style" and "Harlem Shake (meme)". The first, is just a catchy song with an actual message. The second...is just plain redundancy that's so stupid that everyone wants to do it. It's easy to replicate...so everyone goes off from their own way to do some harlem shake video and then we get a craze. Simply said: Gangnam good. Harlem meme bad, ugly.

Harlem meme bad, ugly.You just tried to compare a song with a meme. Either compare the two songs, or compare the two memes (because Gangnam Style did turn into a dance craze). In the former case, both songs are decently produced songs are fine. In the latter, both memes are bad, ugly.So, really, absolutely no difference between them. Whatsoever.

Fusion X. Denver Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I just found my college's harlem shake and it has over 10,000 views. It wasn't even that good, they just danced in front of one of the freshmen dorms. I at least like the funny ones like the swim team one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkNrSpqUr-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 ....I find it kind of amusing. My class has already made two separate Harlem Shake videos that are posted onto Youtube (and yes, I was in both of them). None of them have much views, but hey, it's the thought that counts. No I will not direct to you to them. But once again, it is kind of amusing, for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I value the Harlem Shake as I value any meme in existence: initially entertaining, but slowly dying off in terms of quality and innovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
