A Meme Love Affair: How Quickly Your Popularity Can Sour

The Harlem Shake. You may or may not have heard of it, but it is a lesson for us all

No its not the 90s Dance Craze that adorned more rap videos than Diddy at the time.

The Meme spawned from the Baauer instrumental with deep bass lines.

From Rapper T-Pain's Version -


To a Norweigan Army Squadron -


Tons of these videos were being made and uploaded.  Then this happened -


How quickly did it ascend and die? Here you go -


Out of no where success.  And now dying almost as quickly as it started.

What killed it? Someone else ruining it. 

Keep that in mind when you look at what you are doing. 

Is there somone out there that could kill your issue, message, or fun just by attaching themselves to it?  And what are you doing to prevent that from happening?
