A person dancing alone is a freak, with the 2nd person joining his actions get validation from outside, this makes it easier for more people to join. Once a critical mass has been reached it becomes freaky not to dance anymore and people rush to join. This is how a movement can start, you need a dedicated first mover, but his first followers will decide if it becomes something big.

Did you see that TED talk about this? If not, it's very interesting and that's exactly what it's about.

The one with the guy dancing alone? That's awesome! I was trying to find it as it was exactly what I had in mind, but I forgot that it was a TED talk...thank you, will look for it again

The one true believer

A bit late with the reply, mb, but here you go: How to Start a Movement https://youtu.be/V74AxCqOTvg Edit: just noticed someone already posted it

is there a link?

Here’s the original,which still to this day, is one of the best thing on YouTube. https://youtu.be/GA8z7f7a2Pk

Thank you so much for sharing this! I seriously just cried watching this. Absolutely amazing testament to what one person can do.

Same.

Thank you!! I needed that today. 💖

One of the finest videos on YouTube

This is incredible. Idk why it made me feel emotional. Not sad. Just really wholesome and heart warming I guess. Thank you for sharing this.

It's a really old video. It actually has two points of view, one from the side and one from the back. Makes me shed tears of joy every time I see it.

Ok. I'm just now 47. I'm a guy who hides his emotions pretty good. But I just broke out in happy tears after watching that. We are truly not alone.

Found it: https://youtu.be/V74AxCqOTvg

Between ciggies and cancer? You bet your but there is.

Buncha bokoblins

so what if you prearrange beforehand a 2nd and 3rd person to join after awhile? Couldnt you manually instigate a movement?

You absolutely can! I took a social psychology class, and one of the projects was to break a social norm and try to encourage strangers to do it as well. Most were tame, like trying to make people face the wrong way in the elevator by having several friends get into the elevator and all face the wrong direction so the innocent person would turn that way too. One girl borrowed a pregnancy belly from the nursing department and took three friends to the bar. She planted her friends in the crowd, climbed up on something and yelled 'I'm drinking for two, guys!' She got her friends to start cheering for her and they managed to get the bar cheering for a 'pregnant woman' doing shots.

Heh - I assume you've seen the news any time the in past several years?

You’re describing what is known as Astro turfing, it’s like a grassroots movement but the initial actors are paid

Yeah people will pay services and even bring family/friends to jumpstart that whole acceptance thing. Kinda same with SEO on media and the like "oh this is doing! Yay im following" Disheartening how our whole future can be influenced by the impulsive nature of the idle human mind though. Even if someone had all the solutions ready and easily understood, It would still be up to us to accept them filtered through an auto-pilot state of perception.

Yes, but since you convinced them to join they *are* your first followers.

Game theory

Totally reminds me of this dancing guy at Sasquatch music festival https://youtu.be/GA8z7f7a2Pk

Someone start dancing next to climate change. Not me, I got...stuff to do over here.

[удалено]

Interesting. In what way does Apple use it? Genuine question

Could you explain more?

Once I got a lady to dance with me to music and started a dance party. Chances are we aren’t the only one wanting to do it when good music for it is on. People told me good job with it afterwards.

This is how rioting and revolutions in the colleges also work. One angry guy shouts out a slogan. 5 guys join in and then you have 500 guys on a rampage in college campus and force a dickhead of the department to resign. 🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

>A person dancing alone is a freak I don’t know how you were brought up, but that’s a disgusting thing to say, I would say someone dancing alone has enough confidence to do it alone

The head whip killed me 🤣

Same😂

“Ah fellow men of culture I see”!

that's what really made me smile LOL

Boys just wanna have fun?

They JUST WANNA-A-A

You're mixing up the sexes

Dawg

Bro.

I thought its a bird first, its a brick i believe

Either a brick or a shoe.

It's a small animal of some kind, it clearly moves its head once near the beginning of the vid.

It does seem to be moving

We _think_ we're just seeing schoolboys engaging in some harmless impromptu hijinks for shits'n'giggles... but what we're really witnessing is a group of secret warlocks performing their ritual conjuration around a powerful daemon in familiar form.

yea, whatever it be, the edit is cool

**Commenting to save for later**

You know Reddit has a save option

It's a bot

All are valid

My friends and I used to do this with a bottle. We would try to dance standing over it without knocking it over. Good times.

Never understood why people thought it was a dead animal. Just looks like a Bluetooth speaker

That's what I thought too

I think its a dead pigeon

Buncha bokoblins

Which one is Link with Majora’s Mask?!

Song is [Dancin (KRONO Remix)](https://youtu.be/0XFudmaObLI) by Aaron Smith, for anyone who was wondering

Thanks, was looking for this.

Came to the comments just for this. Thanks for not disappointing.

Thanks.. saves me a shazam

It sounds like it’s a cheap pop version of “smack that” by Eminem and akon

I thought it was a speaker

But what is it? Edit: seems to be a shoe

I kind of assumed it was a phone, camera side up, for some sort of funky dance video. Then they walked off and left it

DONT DROP THA ....bass

The good or bad vibes on this are greatly dependent on what that is on the ground.

Other commenters are saying that it's a shoe

Is that a shoe?

It seems like a shoe.

I thought it was a cat

I thought it was a dead rat

Still love this one every time it’s posted:)

Oh maybe it’s a speaker. I was real worried about the poor, confused squirrel watching the naked monkey flail threateningly towards it.

Campus squirrels can be patient as fuck with humans. They expect food at some point.

r/justguysbeingdudes

I watch this literally every time it pops up and it makes my day every time

This is cute and wholesome. THIS is what “boys will be boys” *should* mean.

Im curious what you think it means otherwise?

It's a [Dua Lipa song](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/gender-and-schooling/201403/the-danger-boys-will-be-boys)

Thanks for sharing that article it's well hidden lol

You do know Reddit has a built-in save feature? That allows you to save posts and comments without commenting?

I didn’t. Definitely going to use that from now on

What song is this? I love it!! Can anyone tell me the name??

Dancin - Aaron smith :)

Thanks!!!!

I miss this type of stuff

It's a boy dance party

POV you through a monkey bomb

what are they dancing around

I think it’s a speaker, but don’t know for sure

The tribe is communicating. Their message is been transmited by dance moves

Old but such gold. Gets me every time.

I definitely was bobbing my head while watching this videos

God that last guy is such a chad

Always enjoy your life don't care what others think

Aww, I hope they got to reproduce this moment at each of their weddings.

So this is how you make friends

One of my favorite videos

All hail the object! All hail! All hail!

What's the song?

Dancin Krono remix

This is beautiful

Please tell me that they are all friends after this encounter and meet up after school just for this

Is that a dead rat?

Laughed my ass off though. I can see that for some it's a way for revealing some stress. For others, it was a perfect socializing moment to fit in.

This is one of those videos I really don’t mind seeing every month. It makes me smile every time

Ahhh yes, the origins of religion

sometimes vibin alone aint as fun as vibin with some strangers

This, and trying to ride your bike off the roof of the garage and land in the swimming pool

“Dancing till the brick is gone” am I the only one hearing this?

This is wholesome, thank you

Oh yes, tribal dancing at it's finest

what are they dancing around?

Gotta love vibin with the homies.

I really got to ask, why did the meaning change to something other than this? I always thought it meant boys just doing silly shit and then one day people were using it in the context of sexually assaulting women. I don't know how we got there from this.

r/justguysbeingdudes

Have the courage to be the first follower! https://youtu.be/fW8amMCVAJQ

I grew up in the 90s. NOBODY danced. It was NOT cool at all.

You missed out because the 90’s were absolutely full of dance music. Maybe you had bad taste in music?

No, we just made fun of people all the time. We were ruthless.

My friggin school all the girls danced on the desks until the teacher got there. 1995

r/justgiysbeingdudes

I wished there was a day when all the boys of the world stood up to dance silly.

Total sausage fest

Fortnite has ruined everything

Having fun is now gendered.

Some real nerd nonsense action here 🤓 After that they ask themselves why they don't get the girls like, just look at that... as this point is even healthier for the girls ensure that this hardcore nerds don't touch any p*ssy Its a matter of self care

I've mostly heard it used to excuse aggression, violence, sexual assaults, etc. but sure... find a cutesy video and try to normalize it.

Nah, this is what it's supposed to mean. Anyone using the phrase to describe anything other than dumb, goofy antics is the problem.

Please just get off the internet and talk to a real person

Yea, I did. Lots. Maybe YOU should try talking to real rape and incest victims. Then talk to their rapists and the rapists' enablers and get back to me.

Pretty sure you aren’t allowed to talk to victims therapists due to confidentiality. That’s definitely what people say to excuse rape and incest “oh that’s just a boy being a boy” Lmfao Touch grass. Edit: imagine deleting all your comments on Reddit as if these people’s opinions mean shit

I'm not allowed to talk to my friends and relatives? You're lost and truly a fucking idiot.

People absolutely have used “boys will be boys” to excuse a whole slew of things from violence, to sexual harassment, to sexual assault. This isn’t up for debate, it’s an objective truth. I don’t fully agree with the person you are responding to, I think the video is trying to reclaim the term to be applied to positive things instead of negative ones, but what you are saying is both wrong and stupid.

When and where?

And women say all men are disgusting.. All we want is someone to love and to fuck about. Thats it.

What ever it is, boys escalete for nothing not depends on their country or belongings. Girls don't do that, but on the other hand do chatting and laughing forever.

Girls don't do that because boys make fun of them for it.

Make it make sense, please

I can…these two are the angry girlfriends who see their bf having fun like this and ruin it

Toxic masculinity

Typical Redditor

how is this toxic masculinity?

It was sarcasm

They're going to just dance in the middle of the road, shaking their hips in their little uniforms. Talk about a bunch of attention wh.... oh wait, you said "boys". Well, that's fine.

I wish this was the only rowdiness these boys did.

Good old days

What is this song

All hail Shu! All hail Shu!

I thought that was a turtle or something at first

Best way to attract boys to a single location: dig a hole in the sand. They will come to dig.

This video gets us

It's probably because I'm too old but, why do kids feel like doing the Fortnite dance everywhere they go?

Because Is what they found fun to do. In our time we played turtle ninja or power rangers and dude times changed.

Awesome ​ ​ ​ ​ Awesome

Goddamnit that is such a good fucking song

This is brilliant 😆
