oh please. i'm in college, so don't try to preach how expensive it is. a Harlem Shake video is thirty seconds long, so it's not a huge deal like everyone is making it out to be, no matter how stupid they are. if anyone feels like they are being cheated from precious learning time because they have to watch one, then they need to take the stick out of their ass and spend that time doing something else.

The average kid will spend 10 minutes not paying attention, check their phone, day dreaming, looking at a hot girl/boy, going to the bathroom, taking notes but not listening, listening but not taking notes, checking their backpack for a different color highlighter, talking to their etc. But you wanna bitch over 30 seconds. Show up to office hours 30 sec early and stfu.

"HURR DURR WATS GANGNAM STYLE???!!!1" - most people today.

It's a fad. And honestly, I think it's less annoying than Gangnam style, and since it's only half a minute, the annoyance doesn't last long.

They're gonna look back and think they were really stupid for doing it.

Just like planking. People need to find something better to do with their time.

Except for that one day at band camp. All the seniors started planking during the final days drill.

Well, people are stupid.

Define 'trap music'

#81 - to my knowledge, trap music is a rhythmically focused style of music that has been around for years, originally accompanying rap, that has now seen another rise in popularity in the EDM scene, and nowadays it typically sounds a lot like, well, the Harlem Shake, with its heavy sub-bass, synthesized, sped-up and varying snare rolls, various dubbed-in voice clips, the notorious "oi" or "ey" on upbeats, and a zippy-sounding lead melody that may sound obnoxious to those who do not favor the genre. Sorry for the gargantuan sentence.

Be careful, everyone. There's a punctuation thief at large, and it looks like 23 was his first victim.

A shot to the head takes less than a second. Your point?

30 seconds from hell

27) I agree with you, I don't see why it's such a big deal. I actually find the harlem shake videos amusing, but clearly the majority of the commenters on here hate them with a passion.

Although Harlem Shake has become overdone to the point of being annoying as ****, and as much as I hate it, there does appear I be a "hate everything popular" mentality on FML.

36: You're not the only one. I find some of them hilarious. People on FML jump on hate bandwagons, which is pretty much as bad as jumping on the bandwagon of the fad itself. It's amusing.

How can something be simultaneously a widespread, popular meme, and also "hyper-rejected" by everyone because it's popular? "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
