If you have not seen a Harlem Shake Video then you are infor a wild ride and a lost hour on the internet. In February of 2013 an oddlittle video of three guys in costume dancing to the Harlem Shake peaked on tothe internet. Now everyone has a video and top ten lists of the best, mostpopular, funniest, Harlem shake videos are all over the internet.
Here is how body language effects our fascination with the YouTube video phenomenon the Harlem Shake.
Our primitive brain tuned to be hunters and watch forchanges in the environment such as movement that indicates possible moving gameor predators who could eat us. The videos start with a few people who are stillwith one person moving in a simple seemingly docile repetitive motion. Our eyes are designed to go toward movement, and because that person isthe only one moving significantly we focus our attention solely on him or her. He or she does not look scary but they are interesting and the fact thatthey are moving in synch with the repetive throb of the music helps hold ourfocus on that one part of the video. Suddenly the music changes to a wildmix and the still seemingly safe people are moving wildly and in some videosmany more people appear looking wild and fierce. Our brain fires on all cylindersand we are captivated. In fact, it gives us such a hit of adrenaline that wecrave more and may spend the next hour looking through top ten lists for newunseen Harlem Shake Hit.
