How about you stop being judgmental of children?

This is simple, unpretentious fun. Nobody is eating their own menses for attention not arguing how a song they can't understand is saving the generation.

All we're doing is.having a good time. Apparently everything must be highbrow or the country will go onto the crapper.

There's simple fun, and then there's going out of your way to be an idiot. We can argue all day on which is which, but I certainly know where I stand.

There's having a good time and than there is being stupid. How is making obscene gestures dancing a good time it isnt it just shows how freakin immature you are. Stop being judgemental on children? Well didnt you say in a previous post it was 18 year olds? According to the law 18 isn't a child anymore so therefore I am not being judgemental on children.

I said the school age range is that. Misleading.

The people partaking are 14-16. And obscenity isn't pornographic or illegal in this case. Stupid, yes. But we have fun.

Better then doing drugs and sexting at the very least

The videos posted in this topic and the one's I unfortunately searched for on Youtube (curiousity), are filled with individuals 18+.

So no, it's not just a teeny bopper trend.

I'm talking about myself specifically. Those 18+ people probably just want quick subscribers.

You should be more specific when explaining. But yes, a lot of the more public videos are of young adults, most noticeably college students. Or around that age to be specific.

Why, Luigi, why?!

You know, if Luigi does it, that makes it completely acceptable and cool.

I'm 13, and I think it's kinda stupid imo. It'll be dead within a month.

That's how most stupid fads work. Only the stupidest (Gangnam Style) or the ones with goals (Gangnam Style) last.

I never knew fads had goals. I always just thought they were fads.

Remember that Pokemon fad?

Goal of Gangnam Style in this case was to reach one billion views before anything else. Sadly, they accomplished.

The internet has revealed depths of human nature that I would rather have been left undiscovered.

I actually don't see how Gangnam Style could be stupider than this.

It was an actual music video that got popular (I never supported it, due to Psy's past anti-American rhetoric, but I can understand why that particular video could get popular). Harlem Shake, not so much (it doesn't have an official music video, as far as I'm aware, & is just people being stupid).

I really need to start being more specific.

It's more about the pretentions of Gangnam Style. A lot of hipsters spoke how "Gangnam Style came to save this generations music!" no you stupid pretentious person you're only joining the fad. Stop pretending you give a damn about this song when all you want to do is join the craze.

Harlem Shake is people acting stupid, but nobody is saying "This is saving dance!" or "You need to understand to appreciate!"

So the lesson I'm getting here is different strokes for different blends of stupidity?

Check out this one i found its a little different. like most of the ones i have found have been similar like office, or college rooms, and classrooms. i think its the different ones which are best like the underwater one, this isnt the best but it sure is different:

i mean people slating these are bitter old farts cos its just a little bit of fun, probably with friends and work colleagues. it may be a fad but isnt that the aim of anything that wants to become popular. and to be honest its done pretty well for itself 44 million hits. I bet that the people slating it either dont have a youtube channel because they are to busy eating Werthers Originals and trudging around on their zimoframes watching the fun things in life pass them by.
you guys try and get 44 million views on one subject alone.

THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE SUBJECT
but actually, I really hate this harlem shake thing (I'm not capitalizing it because it doesn't deserve it) but unfortunately my brother (who's 3 years older than me) is obsessed with it. I hope my generation won't be known for something like this. Maybe I'll teach my dog to talk in complete sentences. Yeah, that'd be cool.
