2. The Harlem Shake is also a unrelated song. The producer named it that because of an inside joke between friends.

I think he said got into fight, got cocky and did the Harlem shake. After that, they went around shouting "Do the Harlem Shake" during random ocassions.

The viral videos are based of the SONG not the DANCE.

It took me 5 fukking minutes to google that.

how the fukk did you google it and come up with that?

A better example would be the fact that the song is claimed to be apart of a music genre called, get this...trap music. If you actually watch Youtube videos of the song (and not the meme) you'll probably read comments under the video treating trap music as a genre that was underground before this song made it mainstream. THAT'S cultural appropriation.

now this is something people can complain about the current Trap music is supposed to be a new genre mixing the southern rap music's distinguishing features with dubstep or other electronic music

not what we've all come to identify as trap music

I got that from an interview of the producer of the song.


The genre is not called Trap music.


It's called Trap-step. Trap music + Dubstep = Trapstep.


Example: ASAP Rocky and Skrillex - Wild For The Night



You can't hear the influence of Southern Trap music?

I wouldn't trust google for situations like this

I don't understand what that means. Google just pointed me inthe right direction.

The Harlem Shake Vocal isnt even original. It came from a party song.

I didnt get this from Wikipedia either

“Harlem Shake” by Baauer[8], the stage name of American music producer Harry Rodrigues, was uploaded to YouTube on August 23rd, 2012. The lyric “do the Harlem Shake” is a sample from the 2001 track “Miller Time” by Philadelphia party rap crew, Plastic Little. The lyric was taken from an incident in member Jayson Musson’s life where he got into a fight and finished by getting up and doing the dance. Bauuer’s song was met with positive reception from electronica & trap music blogs, as well as other artists including Diplo, Brodinski, and Flosstradamus. On January 30th, 2013, video blogger Filthy_Frank uploaded an episode that opens with four people dressed in latex suits dancing to Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” (shown below, right)."

More than a decade ago, a guy named Jayson Musson, then a Philly art student, got into a bloody fight with a guy who’d been painting over his graffiti around town. He wrote a song about the fight, and last year, it was sampled into a new song, called “Harlem Shake.” This month, piggybacking onto an idea hatched by a weirdo video blogger, thousands of people uploaded clips of themselves dancing along with “Harlem Shake.”


and the music is called Trap music

just google Trap music and you'll see all the edm shyt

 

[Fillerguy]

So we both agree then. He did the Harlem Shake in a fight and it became an inside joke.

I've always heard it called Trapstep to avoid the confusion.

If nikkas getting offended over sharing name the name TRAP then this shyt is
Stupid.

blk ppl are stooooopid as fukkkkkkkk

so focused on the past while failing to realize the present is fukked for them

fail

Well, it's not like the artist created this song with the intention of making it a new dance craze with the same name. Your analogy fails because this meme grew organically -- one person made a funny video with this song, and others imitated it. Anyone ignorant of internet memes or the original song might think harlem shaking is jumping around doin crazy shyt like you're on molly. But so what? Does their ignorance on this subject really prompt any anger or resentment? Who gives a shyt, really?

It doesn't matter whether or not it grew organically or not. The fact remains is that this nre meme video calls itself "the harlem shake." It doesn't matter if the rtist intended of makin it a new dance craze, at the end of the day, it has been named "the harlem shake." Fact! And OBVIOUSLY people do give a shyt. My poinst are valid and my analogy is on point

Because that's the name of the song.
