Next Gagnam??...NOPE (Harlem Shake)

Harlem shake is a form of dancing developed in hiphop. This is usually done by shaking your shoulders and body in the beats of the music. You can build various personalities while you perform it. It is really fun to do Harlem shake.

But now new trend has been developed if you’d noticed. This new trend of Harlem shake currently is on a trend of becoming a viral, just like a gagnam style. Like  gagnam style it is on an edge to rise to its optimum height. But I think it won’t be able to rise to such height. You can view in YouTube various Harlem shakes. This usually consists of about 30 seconds dance. It first seems like a single person is infected and he/she dances in outrageous ways. As the beat goes on then the whole of the person is affected and it ends up with a lion roar. People really dance in amazing manners. You’ve got to look. Many people/organization have uploaded their Harlem shakes on YouTube including Berbatov (former United player and currently in Fulham), Miami heats and many more. The most notable thing about it is everybody dancing in the same beat, which was created by Baauer. It's good to see different people performing on the same beat. Although illogical, there’s some logic in saying, Harlem shake has united people. They share their inner wildness to create a happy psycho environment of which everyone is a part.

Most importantly, this Harlem shake should never be confused with the hip hop Harlem shake which is legendary. It's better to remain in a form of fun but not insult the actual Harlem shake.

Below are 2 videos, one showing the current trend going and next depicting what actual Harlem shakers have to say about the current trend.
