As you may have heard, the "Harlem Shake" is a dance that has existed in Harlem for decades, and its name was overtaken by an almost completely unrelated meme. Harlem takes this as grave disrespect. For more information:

So, I propose we come up with a new name for the meme?

If "Even White People can Dance Better Than This Shake" is too politically incorrect, I propose "Way to Ruin a Decent Track, Dickheads Shake".

I was going to go with "Contagious Grand Mal Seizures", but that's an insult to epileptics.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.

How about "Spasmatic Fidgeting"?

Nah, that's an insult to people with cerebral palsy.

I don't understand because the song seems to be completely different. Is the current song actually saying "Do the Harlem Shake", or did someone just add that in? And if that's in the song, do we have an actual music video of it?

The dance is more of an insult to us than that name.

WE WERE DOING IT FIRST, POSERS!

[down] Epileptics. We were wildly convulsing before it was cool.

I remember this when it was just called "White people dancing".

Good days.

Did this thread need to be revived? I've gone over two weeks without seeing a single reference to this asinine fad. Let's just keep it that way, please.

Renaming a meme that ruined a good track.

And what meme is it?

It's probably not Harlem Shake because that track is atrocious.
