Just realized there will come a day (probably already has) where people can't hear this image.

I can't, what is it supposed to sound like?

... you thought harlem shake was better?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IMO, not specifically Harlem shake, no, but Harlem shake was a product of the Internet in its prime.

IDK if that makes any sense

I agree. It was bolder (for its time), it was carefree, and it had the thrill of exploring new territory. I miss Vine goddamn it.

I can't read that without imagining a very extended boss fight.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm going to be saying the same about Skibidi Toilet in 10 years.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm not even sure what that means. I'm familiar with Harlem shake, but skibidi toilet?

The Internet is a weird place. I love it here.

Okay so.

Skibidi toilet is -- or started out as -- a Source Filmmaker Youtube poop. The first few videos were some heads popping out of toilets kind of nope.avi style while, if you'll pardon the double entendre, scat singing.

This somehow got spun up into a multi-part war drama. I must reiterate: Somehow. The word "skibidi" has entered the iPad kid generation's lexicon as either a nonsense word, a word meaning "nonsense" or I think I've heard it used the way Bill & Ted would use the word "bogus".

Thank you for the whole playlist that's probably never worth watching!

Wait until people come up with other, older things to be nostalgic about. Like Shoop da Whoop or Ronald McDonald Insanity. Peak 2000's internet brainrot.
