Holy fuck talk about a flash in the pan meme. Harlem shake was a thing for what, like 4 months?
Man, this made me realize that "flash in the pan memes" used to be so much longer lived than they are now. Nowadays something mega viral has a half life on the order of days but also has much more segmented awareness/spread

Was in the Marines and we did the same. No fun zone got to have fun got just a minute.
