Honestly, the video* made me want to burn my own eyes out.  I feel ridiculous watching somebody dance like that.  But I listened to the song without the video, and I can kinda dig it.

But let's not even get me started on ridiculous gang fights.  I go to a high school with members of the Bloods, Crips, and MS-13, all sandwiched between Baltimore and DC.

This place defines the pointless gang fights.  Fucker might as well be in Oakland or something.

*meaning the OP here.

I have been waiting a good two weeks for this photo to be relevant to anything:

[De_El]

I always assumed "Jump Around" was by Cypress Hill, although apparently DJ Muggs produced it, so there is a connection.

[Ballard]

C'mon, this is nothing new - these guys have been doing it for years...

See guys, jumping has always been pretty cool. Or at least since 1992.

I refuse to take cues on what is cool from a kid with that haircut.

[benji]

At first I thought the original video was a parody of something and that I was just not hip enough to the get the reference. Then I realize that it was taking that dance style seriously. Then I died a little on the inside.

didn't the Bloods and Crips resolve to work together to fight "the man" instead of needlessly killing each other?

i'm pretty sure that happened.

MS-13 are fucking ridiculous.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

Gangs are fucking ridiculous.

My wife works in Washington Hospital Center, so she gets to see the aftermath of all that shit.  MS-13's trademark machete attacks, gunshots to the head, all kinds of horrific stuff comes to her.  Bonus: every once in a while, some gang member who fails to kill their target on the first try will try to get into the hospital to correct the error. 

[rynne]

No, correcting the error of only grievously wounding the guy instead of killing him outright.  They'll try to finish the job properly before the victim has a chance to recover from the first attack.

[Katherine]

Machete attacks?  I cannot fathom that. 

Okay, yes I can.  I actually saw a man cutting his grass with a machete.  In Upstate New York.  From now on, I will just assume that means the guy is in a gang, not just crazy.

[Hat]

Fuck you, France

I, uh...what?

I'm legitimately curious as to what relevance this has. Not being a dick here, was there some meaning behind it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression this was a musical trend that if not actually started in France, has at the very least gained a massive amount of attention because of its popularity there.

[WriterofAllWrongs]

MS-13 has been playing too much Manhunt.

[sean]

I'm sorry Hat, but wikipedia is calling shenanigans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance_music

Wikipedia is saying it started in Germany. So...

Fuck you, Germany.

[Hat]

I'm not really talking about Trance music in general, more this specific subgenre and the dancing style associated with it, a while ago I was looking at a whole slew of similar shit, all French, all terrible.

[StaedlerMars]

There was a reason for the whole 'damn Belgians' post.

Jumpstyle

It's from Belgium.

[rynne]

Goddammit, Belgium.  Between your beer and your chocolate, you'd built up a nice little reputation and now you ruin it with something like this.  I'm so disappointed in you.

[Patrick]

But guys they have french fries (chips to you silly Redcoats) and waffles and lace.

[Ballard]

Pommes frites you asshole.

[rynne]

Fuck yes, frites.  With some aioli on the side of a big pot of mussels. 

[Patrick]

Pommes frites you asshole.

I'll "pommes frites" your asshole.

[Ballard]

Fuck yes, frites.  With some aioli on the side of a big pot of mussels. 

Here is where most Americans go "whuh?"

I'll "pommes frites" your asshole.

Sub-standard execution. Points for trying.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

Fuck yes, frites.  With some aioli on the side of a big pot of mussels. 

whuh?

[karl gambolputty...]

Goddamn furners

[michaelicious]

Now I'm not xenophobic; I'm as tolerant as anyone, but come on. Do you really want one of those things laying eggs in your daughter?

[rynne]

Fuck yes, frites.  With some aioli on the side of a big pot of mussels.

More deliciousness for us, then.

[valiantninja]

Wow. Just, wow. This looks like the scottish sword dance done badly and set to trance music. Simply terrible.

[Just One More...]

I'm sixteen and that's about the fucking stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Far from cool.

I was going to post this exact post when I saw this thread.

Seriously if this is what is cool now I'm done with this fucking planet.

But freerunning isn't bad. Like, EMC monkeys. Check them out. They actually require discipline. Still odd, and pointless, but better than "I CAN JUMP TO THE BEAT OF TECHNO AND APPROVE OF THE FACT THAT BREASTS EXIST!!"

[Scarychips]

Now I'm not xenophobic; I'm as tolerant as anyone, but come on. Do you really want one of those things laying eggs in your daughter?

Why the A Softer World reference?

[Barmymoo]

Until I read Scarychips' comment, I was going to ask Michaelicious whether biology was their strong point.

Now I will retreat and feel foolish, as usual.

Also, I read the title of that video as Victory Feet of Llamas.

[Red Peril]

What makes you think that is even remotely cool? That is awful. It's like taking your own life without actually dying

Exactly, if this is a age thing I was too old the moment I was conceived.

[Patrick]

ITT: there is nothing else to say so we instead form semi-witty variations of "YEAH MAN THIS IS SO UNCOOL! IT'S LIKE, WARM. INSTEAD OF COOL. YEAH!"
