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.
IMO, there's no reason that vine needed to be shut down. There's so many ways to monetize that kind of platform, and they basically said "we can't figure it out" and closed up shop.
