The Harlem Shake is an Internet phenomenon based on viral videos that began to gain popularity in early February 2013,

The videos feature the song Harlem Shake by electronic musician Baauer, and a dancing style not to be confused with the original Harlem Shake.[SUP][2][/SUP] Normally, each video begins with one person (often masked) dancing to the song alone for 15 seconds, surrounded by other people unaware of the dancing individual. When the bass drops, the camera transitions to the entire crowd doing the dance for the next 15 seconds, often wearing a minimum of clothes or crazy outfits or costumes while wielding strange props.[SUP][3][/SUP] The success of the video was attributed to its break out moment and short length [SUP][4][/SUP] of which the first version of the widely accepted and adopted internet meme was created by five teenagers known as The Sunny Coast Skate from Queensland Australia.[SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP] The phenomenon spread due to the number of people replicating and uploading similar videos.[SUP][6][/SUP] In the first nine days, over 11,000 versions of the popular internet meme had been uploaded, garnering over 44 million unique views, and averaging over 4,000 new variations each day.
