February 20, 201312 yr the reason that i think the harlem shake meme is not only dumb but disrespectful is that theyre slapping the name on something that isnt even close to the dance the song is named that, i understand (and thats a whole different story), but people actually are believing that the harlem shake is some nonsensical dancing and people who actually are from harlem and people who know about the cultural importance of the dance are kind of upset with the fact that people seem to mocking their dance (whether they mean it or not) and people are just telling them to stop being anal about it, but seriously?? when you takr the name of something important and slap it on something else that isnt even related, it makes it seem like others could give less of a shit of what it means and people are gonna get pissed. if this was called something else, there wouldnt be a problem but yknow

I personally haven't seen anybody actually claiming that it's the original, in fact most people I've run into say 'the original's better' or 'here's the original, the non-meme version'. People who show real interest usually look it up first, anyway. But, that's just me/my experience.
February 21, 201312 yr Watched couple vids of Harlem shake.... This stuff is just another thing to add on stuff that ruined this generation. Psy's new song that's gonna come out soon is gonna top that Crap. It won't be similar to gangnam style , but it will be original.
