Thread: Am I the only one??

HARLEM SHAKE

I feel that this new trend is, at least, ridiculous. Many videos of it uploaded in my news feed on Facebook recently and yet, are more to come. Youtube has a large number of videos relevant to this.

I have seen one-two videos of it and to me, there are some bunch of people, dressed in a -supposed funny way- ridiculous way and -supposed to be dancing- doing some strange moves, with some -supposed music- playing on the background.

Students of my university, are going to make one on Friday, inside the university, inspired from other universities around the globe (Toronto's and more).

First gangam style and now harlem shake. Is the ridiculous always selling? :/

I think that they do it in free time or when the amphitheater has not a course. Doing that, when somebody wanted to study at the same time they would do, I think is way too much. I hope this is the case.

However yes, they do what they want and I am not going to tell them what to do. I am judging the trends, that with the help of globalization and marketing have conquer the youth. Gangam style and harlem shake. If these are what young people are fond of, something really meaningless and ridiculous, then I would say that this concerns me a lot.

I am only 20 years old, but I wouldn't like my children to have these two "things" as favorite.

I am not aware of the other "things" you are saying. Gangam and Harlem are all over the place..

Here's to that moment when you see a new trend and say, "That's just ridiculous"...

And then realise that most of the things that you considered cool as a teenager are also ridiculous.

Just one of a million silly memes... It's hardly the only thing going around right now.

I hate the harlem shake too. my boss tried to get me to join in when they were doing a company-wide harlem shake video, and I politely declined.

Your boss? Your company? I didn't know that older people do that too Anyway, I am not the only one and that feels good

Pokemon, the first generations (until Lugia) will never be ridiculous to me!
