Subject: Hip hop dance called the "Harlem Shake" changed into something different

Written By: waffleboy_92 on 02/12/13 at 4:44 pm

This hip hop dance called the "Harlem Shake" has been taken over by Internet memes, and became some crazy dance. Personally, I don't like it, the new song is annoying to me. I remember that I used to know about this dance years ago. I would've never expected this to happen! What do you guys think about the Internet memes hijacking this dance?

Wait, what? The Harlem Shake is now an internet meme? The last time the Harlem Shake was "in" was around 2002. When did this happen? ???

Yeah it is, just search for Harlem Shake on YouTube, the new thing is all over the site. It became this new thing where people wobble around like crazy and hump random objects. It's a shame that the Internet community took that dance and made it into this.

I've only just heard of this meme from this thread and already:

Better watch out. Youtube commenters (and Wikipedia) are already calling it the "next Gangnam Style."

At least Gangnam Style was catchy.

I agree, at least you're not dancing around like you have a seizure. ::)
