Harlem Shook Up!



I've been hearing the same question from  lately: What is this Harlem Shake thing? Welcome to the new internet meme that puts the "random" in random. All I know is the song used for the meme is by a group named Baauer. When I first heard of the video, I was thinking "Did the Harlem Shake dance come back into style?" I immediately thought I was late to the party. Then after I watch a couple of videos, I realized it was an excuse for people to act random and go crazy. I seen a lot of internet companies, as well as a group of friends getting together to make this meme what it is and I've seen some funny and crazy stuff. What makes this meme so viral is that these videos are so short; 30 seconds and you can make some hilarious content. I was thinking of making my own version, but I decided that I would rather watch them and enjoy them for what they are than take part in them (plus I wouldn't have enough people to make it happen). So, enjoy the "Shakes" while it last. Can't wait to see what the next meme to pop up will be.
