Who remembers when this was the most watched video on YouTube?
“The clip received 70 million views in under 8 months. At that time, it was rated on YouTube as: #1 Most Viewed All Time Video on YouTube.com.” - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judson_Laipply
“He uploaded the dance to YouTube on April 6th, 2006.” - https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/evolution-of-dance
For me the old dance video I couldn’t get enough of back in the day was of these dudes doing the robot at Kollaboration 2001 that capped off with this dude doing some sick liquified robot shit that still melts my mind to this day. Thought this was that video initially so had to go look it up for you folks.
David Elsewhere was the god. Kid figured that entire shit out in his garage, all by himself.
EDIT: Another amazing breakdancing video from yesteryear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YJ3BTKMILw
Oof. That kiddo had some strong Ehlers-Danlo Syndrome going on there. I bet he’s still feeling those moves today.
Kudos to Jr with the giant dong slung over his shoulder though, lol
Ah thank you so much for linking that, every time I see that evolution of dance video come up it reminds me of the kollaboration one and I kept forgetting the name for years.
Speaking of old dance videos, I recently found this gem and it made me so happy I feel compelled to bring it up every time I can. I miss that Youtube, it was such a different place back then.
Damn takes me back 😂
