So, this is now a thing.
The easiest way to explain this meme is this is a normal boringish video where the participants go crazy when the beat drops in Baauers’ song.
Just watch this and try not to have a seizure:
I wish it was the old Harlem Shake.

So glad you ended this with “I wish it was the old Harlem Shake” and included a link.
I recently sent a link the the original to some people I knew who were cracking up over these videos.
This is the worst internet viral video trend ever.
“[W]hen searching on Google for ‘Harlem Shake’ today, only one link is to a page not talking solely about the meme, a Vulture collection of music videos from the early to mid-2000s featuring the dance, hoping to preserve its memory. At a time in the world when the primary way of learning about new information comes via a quick Google, this is paramount to a destruction of history.”

I agree, that is why I included a link to the original above so everyone can see and LEARN.
