Thread: Harlem Shake

    Ugghh. There already is a Harlem Shake. The name is taken. Retards who spazz around a room need not apply.

    This is dance. The current Harlem Shake memes are talentless crap. I don't have issue with the activity itself, just the misnomer that bastardizes something real artists put real time into. I see this the way I see LARPers who make up weird kung fu forms a la sith style. Do your thing, but stay outta my arena.



    This is the Harlem Shake.

    You can geek out in a crowd and just name it after something that already exists. That's like the fat kid in his garage rocking out his sith styles saying he is doing Hung Gar. I can see why Hung Gar cats would be annoyed by that.

    I dunno, I would rather watch real dancing with real skills. But hey, that's just me. Lol.

    The Harlem Shake is an easy dance with many more complicated variations. Like the Charleston. If you don't have a certain set of the fundamentals of the dance, it's something else entirely.

    Here is the bare bones Harlem Shake. I don't really like it much.

    Step one: We admitted we were powerless over our hate of the fake Harlem Shake - that our lives had become unmanageable...............

    Step two: Came to believe that a Power greater than our hate of the fake Harlem Shake could restore us to sanity.

    I convinced a retirement home to do a Harlem Shake. I hope this gets scheduled before my new job starts.
