Harlem Shake

[iironiic]

Not a fan of the Harlem Shake. Completely unoriginal and has no flavor in humor.

If anything, it made me dislike the music more simply because of the trend.

Admittedly, there are some humorous ones, but those are rare xd

Trap Music is fkn epic in small doses.

THIS is not a video, but, IMO is the best thing to come from the HS.

The last being the most realistic one. It didn't come to me as a surprise when Gangnam Style started exploding everywhere because the genre in itself was acclaimed by the majority, and I don't care really about those types of bandwagons since there is nothing from it that I can relate to. (Dance music sure isn't my cup of tea)

It may be a hispter thing to say, but I haaaaate when a giant mass of people get into things and music you consider is less accessible for the sole reason that it originates from a trend. I remember just a few years ago when I made new acquaintances with a bunch of people that knew some songs I wasn't expecting them to know (at least certainly not in my area). They were just like "yeah, well it's from Guitar Hero". And what do you know, during the few next years, everything dumped out of that game was the bestest music.

I kinda liked the concept of Harlem Shake though (trap music already being into my league), it's kind of humorous only on the surface but it doesn't go really far. At least for the surprise, and the contrast before and after the cut. Only one I think I can go back any day is Matt and Kim's:

Just popping in to say that the Fermilab Harlem Shake made me laugh a lot.

[TC_Halogen]

almost forgot - bumping this thread because this one is just downright awesome - even if you don't like the Harlem Shake, this one is pretty innovative, haha.

I'll leave now, sorry!

I'm really not into this whole thing but two of the people that I like on youtube of course recently made Harlem Shake vids so wth I guess I'll share them lol.

I fucking hate most things that end up being popular on the Internet because they're absolutely ridiculous yet I can't help but love me some Harlem Shake... despite how ridiculous it also is.

I have to agree with you on this.
I despise Gangman Style with a burning passion but I just can't hate on the Harlem Shake just yet.

For Finland!

I agree with this guy.

[Wayward Vagabond]

i like the harlem shake as a song and i hate that its being ruined by the explosion in popularity. and not because the more people that listen to it/know about it makes it shitty but the fact that all anyone ever hears is that small 30 second clip
