WTF is Harlem Shake?

Harlem Shake, that new fever, becomes new trending topic, and finally visits Norwich, UK.

For me, Harlem Shake is not a style of a dance, since everybody can dance with their own styles. Unlike Gangnam Style or any other kind of dance, Harlem Shake has  no rule, no requirement, nothing--related to the movement, costume, not to mention the philosophical issues.

Basically, for me, it is just another  channel of exhibition for people to exist. As we know, one of the nature of virtual world is narcissism  and exhibitionism. Most of the people love being watched and acknowledged  by others as well as by themselves.  Hence, Harlem Shake fits with internet users and viral marketing.


Nonetheless, Harlem Shake is just another Thom Yorke's Lotus Flower dance. IMHO.


So, I prefer Poco-Poco, instead. :)
