The Harlem Shake... my wife mentioned it to me a while back. I even heard there was a news story about it. Some kind of dance that got posted on youtube and went viral. So I finally got curious enough about it to see what was going on.
Okay... its just a crazy dance people are doing.
The Harlem Shake is an Internet meme in the form of a video in which a group of people performs a comedy sketch accompanied by a short excerpt from the song "Harlem Shake". As a meme, the video was replicated by many people, using the same concept, and this rapidly led to it becoming viral in early February 2013,[2] with thousands of "Harlem Shake" videos being made and uploaded to YouTube every day at the height of its popularity.[3]
The form of the meme was established in a video uploaded on February 2 by five teenagers from Queensland, Australia known on YouTube as The Sunny Coast Skate.[3][4] The video started a viral trend of people uploading their own "Harlem Shake" videos to YouTube.[5] The teenagers' video was a follow-up to a video by a YouTube comedy vlogger named Filthy Frank[4][6][7] which featured a section where several costumed people danced to the song "Harlem Shake" by Baauer.[8][9]
