Why The Harlem Shake Is So Popular?
 Maybe because Harlem Shake dance videos are capped at 30 seconds. |

Why is it so popular? Because most people live boring/mudane lives and this is something simple and easy they can participate in...

Yeah, I don't get this either. Everyone I know is talking about it like "Do you know the Harlem Shake? Yeah it's so new but I can do it, want to see?"
Ummm, I am pretty sure its been around since the 90's... I at least remember it being popular when I was in high school specifically in the year 2003 and it definitely was not new then. We would always make fun of people trying to do it who were bad saying they weren't doing the shake but the Philly Seizure. Not sure where the fuck that came from, if its real or a specific joke from something. Google says nada.

Reasons for success
The success of the videos was in part attributed to the anticipation of the breakout moment and short length, making them very accessible to watch. The Washington Post explained the meme's instant virality by referring to the jump cuts, hypnotic beat, quick setups and half minute routines. The Harlem Shake is technically very easy for fans to reproduce, as it consists of a single locked camera shot and one jump cut. Nonetheless, the simplicity of the concept allows fans considerable scope in creating their own distinctive variant and making their mark, while retaining the basic elements. In its simplest form, it could be made with two people; a more sophisticated version might even involve a crowded stadium. Moreover, there is a level playing field for celebrities and fans alike, with no guarantee of success for either group. There is a strong vein of humour running through each video that is not dependent on language, further increasing its potential to spread virally. source: wikipedia

What I find absolutely amazing is how many people actually own horse masks, strange costumes, and bizarre helmets.
