The Harlem Shake is two different things.
1.The Harlem Shake is a dance
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.
That's not how people see it. Can we just ban all the white posters like this clown?

Top 6 Trap Music Artists To Watch For (So Far) [Playlist] .:. Club Marco - this was written in November. No mention of 'trapstep'. They outright call it trap.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Shake_(song) - Look at the list of genres the song is considered. No mention of 'trapstep', but what is mentioned.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(music_genre) - read the 'electronic developments' portion of the article. It talks about how confusion has arisen as a result of the electronic genre simply being called Trap.
So it does happen. Some people are smart enough to give it a separate name like trapstep I'm sure, but there's definitely a large portion of people outright calling it trap. These were just a few examples.
Remember, a lot of white historians try to claim part-ownership of Rock N Roll by proclaiming that real rock n roll didn't exist before the country-western influence in the mid-to-late 50s even though evidence prove that to be untrue, so this has happened before. I'm just saying, while people seem outraged by the name of a meme, there's a bigger cultural appropriation taking place.
U can't be mad at her for giving legitimacy to black American culture.
U can say; "It's not that serious" all you want, but, this is something we are in dire need of and that's protecting what we've made.
IMO, the meme is hilarious. I understand the name of the EDM song, but, ppl have a right to protect the real history.

same people saying who cares would probably try to fight a white person for calling them a ******.
when white people mock black people and it becomes a meme its cool though? make up your mind.

Trust Me
All of you ACTING like this is a NON ISSUE are either c00nS or Cauctliens. The ORIGINAL Harlem Shake is a monumental CULTURAL milestone and must be protected and RESPECTED. The white man is TRYING to gentrificate our DANCE CULTURE which is a supreme and divine AFRICAN and BLACK culture. Where are these HARLEM shake videos? Youtube. What does that rhyme with? JEWTUBE. The Jew IS behind this. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

it's interesting they chose the song "harlem shake" to start the meme. Just saying......
Wait, now I can't tell if serious or not. What makes you think the videos purpose are to mock or make fun of black people?
Two, even if they are doing that, do you really think mimicking something funny black people came up with is anywhere near using a term that, for centuries, was used to describe their perceived inherent superiority? How are these things anywhere close to being equally offensive?
The first person to do it wasn't trying to start a meme, it was a goofy video of him dancing to the song. It went viral and people did imitation videos and it became a meme.
You can find millions of videos of people dancing to songs, the original was weird and got imitated.
