It's a new some sort of trend . It'll die out pretty soon because of it's repetitiveness (i give it 2 months)

Scheme is pretty much everytime the same.

Videos start from first sounds of the track by DJ Baauer (from Newyork) entitled harlem shake course. Scenery is usually crowded place with people minding their own things, doing normal stuff. When song starts to play you can see one person starting to dance in unnatural way. After voice saying 'and do the harlem shake' you can see same shot with same people, only now dancing their ass off or doing daft things. Videos last about 30 sec.

It all started from this : DO THE HARLEM SHAKE (ORIGINAL) - YouTube
It's virus video and guys who made this sent it all over america (or whatever country they live in).

I personall watched only one harlem shake video that actually made sense.
BUT THAT'S NOT RACIST - YouTube
It's funny video about racism with the 'thing' at the end. Say what you want but that made me laugh, what i can't say about any other harlem.

all the best
