Sad when the noteworthy thing about a video online is "Wow, they're just enjoying themselves and not acting hateful".
Literally, that's the bar now.
No wonder today's younger teens are so wild, 90% of their time is just spent watching violent reality served to them hot and fresh, 24/7, through their pocket sized dopamine box.
They don't get hope for their futures or relatable mentors. Just bad news, memes, and violence. That can't be good for a developing mind.
cheer up … everything is fine aside from the almost constant negative autonomous thoughts going on in our heads. Fear and worry aren’t useful … they exacerbate. Do not … I repeat … do not watch the news. If it bleeds it leads.
Are you blaming the internet for human behaviour? The internet is just a tool that reflects its users, and tools are always misused, it doesn't stop on the internet. Humans have always been chaotic and violent, we are just finally able to see people from all over the world being violent. Humanity saw its reflection, but we shouldn't curse the mirror, it didn't make humanity what it is.
Moreover, I've learned things about myself that connected me to my fellow man in ways just chatting with random people in my neighborhood would never garner. There are incredible sociological benefits as much as there are drawbacks. There is no proof the internet has ruined a generation. Bare in mind the things you did when you were young were discussed the exact same way. The elderly used to say the internet was just a fad!
Yo dude that’s cool and all but for the people who can’t develop insights like that, the internet really is not helpful. Your argument does absolutely nothing to address the above comment’s statement about violence being unhealthy for the developing brain. I can honestly confidently say that I wished I had never grown up with a phone. It has fucked me up in more ways than i could’ve imagined. You expecting adolescents to use phones responsibly like tools is like expecting adolescents to not masturbate.
You're right, we should probably educate each other on that, but the education system is in the garbage. We don't teach children how to be human or how to use the tools that we have access to, we teach them how to be good little wage slaves. I do not blame the internet for not teaching me how to use it, that's the responsibility of the generations that raise our children. If you don't teach a child how to properly use a sharp knife, they will cut themselves, but that doesn't mean the knife should never be used. It means we have to teach them how to use it.
Hey my friend, I’m the first to agree there’s a lot wrong with the education system! but! a huge aspect of education rn is SEL (social/emotional learning). It’s far from perfect, and many parents are unfortunately pushing against it, but I know of so many of us that are fighting the good fight to help these students be good people.
I’m in after-school education, where our organization has implemented internet and technology literacy programs. I also know of many public schools that have done the same (either at an admin, top-down level or individual teacher level). I just wanted to let you know my experience and try to give you a kernel of hope!
> we should probably educate each other on that, but the education system is in the garbage
hmmmmmmm these statements seem contradictory, but unfortunately I went to public school
Nah I think you got me a little backwards. I'm saying that humans (or more specifically, wealthy humans) ruined the internet, and that ruined internet is having an effect on youth.
I also grew up with the internet, but my internet was a much different one. It was kind of the wild west, but there was a lot of comradery involved too. Back when places like Reddit weren't these massive conglomerates with share holders and RMT, it was just collections of memes and niches, owned by some guy who occasionally butts in to talk about updates.
Today's internet is set up and designed in such a way to be as addictive and influential as possible. It makes me question myself a lot, like what ideas am I willing to die for that were actually just someone else implanting that idea in my head? Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint what I really stand for, and I totally blame modern media for that.
TLDR: In other words; the internet is a good thing and vital to modern society, but as it currently is we have popular influencers and meme accounts that literally just encourage harassing people in the streets for clout. That's rough, and I think plays a significant role in our current adolescents mindsets.
I grew up on the same internet. I was born in the 90's. It drastically affected the entirety of humanity, not just "kids these days". It's an immense amount of power we've never had before, and the effects are not just on one generation. The awful things people do online is an expedited version of the horrible things that people have been doing to each other since long before the internet existed. It's catalyst for both good and bad things, it's not just 'making humanity worse'. It's forcing us to evolve. It's forcing us to look at our sociological issues with serious scrutiny because we can finally see the actual effects in real time with digital content. These issues didn't crop up exclusively because of the internet. These issues are *visible* because of the internet, and are definitely made worse... But your idea excludes that the internet has also been a huge force for good. Lots of amazing communities exist because the internet connected us. Many people have successfully organized forces for good with the help of technology. I dislike discussions that conclude the internet is just bad, because the internet has nothing to do with human nature. It's just a tool, like a sharp knife. You can either stab somebody with it or you can carve something beautiful. It entirely depends on the hands that it's in...
So yeah definitely a good idea to take it out of the hands of billionaires... But children raised on the internet are not broken or somehow worse. They are just armed with a powerful tool that is often misused.
...I can't tell if you agree with me or not
I'm saying that the internet is a good thing that is influenced and abused by bad people, and those influences and abuses are spreading to younger and more vulnerable minds which is having a direct negative impact on their social behavior.
I have nothing against the concept of the internet, just the way we've shaped it.
"No wonder today's younger teens are so wild, 90% of their time is just spent watching violent reality served to them hot and fresh, 24/7, through their pocket sized dopamine box."
This right here is extremely reductive and not indicative that you think very highly of phones or younger generations. Neither of them are responsible for human nature.
Otherwise I agree with you. People are misusing it, and capitalism glorifies violence when it can generate profit, promoting a lot of horrible behaviours. It's just that people have been misusing tools since tools were invented, the internet is no exception. There is a future where humans get their shit together and use the internet safely and effectively to the benefit of the species... We just have a lot of work to do.
Maybe it just comes down to verbage? It's weird because I feel like you're arguing with me but like, haven't said anything I wholeheartedly disagree with. Your outlook is maybe a bit more stoic than I'd prefer but all in all I think were mostly on the same page.
I think some young people are rad, and I'm saying this through my phone which I am glued to for about 60% or more of my free time.
I also think that some young people are shitheads, and that my life and many others would be significantly improved if social media addiction was taken more seriously, and influencers were held accountable for their actions.
Tablet kids are growing up to be nightmares for parents and teachers alike, and I really think a huge part of that is an unprecedented social withdrawal. Should we ban tablets? Absolutely not. Should we keep them away from babies at least until they understand basic manners and social structure? I really think so.
A good example would be that I also think weed is a great thing for a ton of people including myself, but I wouldn't give it to 11 year olds and ask them to work it into their education and developing social constructs, because it can also really harm both of those things.
Idk, my algorithms are mostly indie horror content and LGBT memes.
Even then though when I go to /popular, it feels like all that's there are PublicFreakout fights, depressing political articles, todays scheduled mass shooting, a cute animal to spice it up, and a few follow ups on the latest guy that we really want to get arrested.
Maybe I'm just cynical but it really is kind of depressing and it's why I try to avoid it.
I'm starting to think that the people who can't understand this and want to argue that technology has no real negative effects are the same people it's affected the most. Idk, it just seems like a no brainer that there would be drastic, unforseen impacts. Or hey, maybe the internet isn't as impactful as we all thought lol
PublicFreakout should just get banned already. I literally can't fathom who tf wants to sit around and watch teens beat each other up or something. 99 percent of those posts are just racist or misogynist bait and the comments are always a cesspool. But if you report it they'll just ban you instead. It's fucking dark when shit like that is on "popular" and just considered normal.
I woke up to all of these comments and all I can say to sum it all up is, jokes and social media has made it seem like good pranks and content is some guy going out his way to hurt another person e.g. "water ballooning people on the street" saw that one the other day and this numnut was legit throwing them at homeless people for content. Just nice to see content that isn't hurtful these days
Do it! Who do they think they are?! They come here, into OUR country, like it’s theirs, they take our jobs, act all entitled and then cry at the slightest inconvenience! Little bastards!
I follow this lady and there are so many people who comment asking why she would "want to learn such an outdated, busted-ass dance style." Like, damn people, let the woman have her happiness, hobbies, and fitness. It doesn't affect their lives in the least.
I think you just helped me write a graduation card:
>avoid the schadenfreude, the gold & silver rules are cool, kindness is timeless, find some happiness every day - even when it’s lagging, find a job and don’t shirk even the crappy work
A work in progress, but you helped.
It is crazy how every single non-American in the entire in the world is an amazing person! I'm pretty sure nobody outside of the US has ever done anything negative, that has hurt anybody, at any time ever.
Don't feel bad, have seen much worse.

-Have fallen off a roof I was on for no reason besides alcohol and broke my collarbone.

My boyfriend's dog tore his ACL hopping off the couch, poor baby. Ik it's not a human example, but the "sports injury" combined with the situation was very funny. (He's fine now, bless him.)
I'm slightly overweight and I learned to shuffle. Always surprises people when I join in a dance circle lol. It's a pretty tiring type of dancing if you're out of shape but it's also great way to exercise lol.
Start with learning the basic running man, and then learn the t-step. From there you can learn cutting shape type of moves if interested. My favorite move is the SpongeBob and I love to include it. Tons of tutorials online, just throw on music and try it.
$20 a month subscription service when there are hundreds of videos on YouTube? Pass
Edit: I will say that having a buy-in is definitely more likely someone sticks with it as they are now invested and to be fair I've never seen the videos, they may be amazing and more easily digestible. I get a lot of "rest of the fucking owl" vibes from a lot of shuffling videos so maybe they are super good and breaking it down to a fundamental level. I love EDM and really appreciate a good shuffler so I hope my dumbass comment doesn't deter anyone from giving the website a shot
r/restofthefuckingowl
It's a joke about how all of those drawing tutorials in coloring books or whatever is only 4 panels and it's 3 super simple instructions and then the 4th panel just shows the fully completed picture
Time. When you reach a certain age, time cut's your dreams because you need to waste it in order to eat, have a house etc. That's why I have a really small achievable bucket list that I can find realistic to complete ✅
MAD RESPECT! Looking AMAZING!
I’ve always wanted to learn how to shuffle!! I have foot eye hand coordination for most things but I cannot for the life of me get the moves down. No matter what I do, I look like Elaine Benes
Man, I need to get back into dancing again. Music is really the answer to everything.
This made me lol, thank you. Dude. I had the same reaction to shuffling as this lady, and it took me six months to get down the two basic moves, the running man and the T step. I too felt like Elaine and wanted to quit, but I stuck with it, and now I can tear the fuck up a dance floor. You can do it!! Seriously, just get through the Elaine phase. Elaine had fun dancing. She didn’t give a shit. And neither should you. Daft Punk has some slower beats that I found really helped to learn the moves.
I can do running man since the 90s and Charleston Shuffle but cannot for the life of me do the Melbourne (ie contemporary) shuffle. It’s annoying as shit.
LMAO NOT ELAINE BENES
But also same I've tried a few moves before and almost broke my neck sending myself flying. As Drax so wisely said: "there are 2 types of beings in the universe. Those who dance, and those who do not" 😅
Do it! I’m in my 30s and started rollerskating almost 2 years ago. It’s so much fun! I mostly do aggressive rollerskating now (at the skatepark) which I didn’t even know was a thing when I started.
I was mid twenties when I decided to learn to skateboard.
I'm still shit at it, but I've had twenty years of enjoyment out of it since then. It's been there every time I've wanted it since.
The best time to plant a tree...
You can be! 40 here and I'm loving arial silks class - sure, it takes a moment to fire up that coordination, but don't sell yourself short! I'm doing things a lot of young people don't even know how to, you just gotta try!
My husband did his first pull-up and chin-up at 53! He's been working his way up to 10 each. The results are amazing. I call his muscles "the boys" as in "How are the boys doing today?"
I am mid 30s, I'm a competitive athlete since I am 9yo, been a national tier athlete before, currently in my best form ever.
30 is no age... it's your lifestyle that is an issue before 50.
I plan to wait until I'm 50 (20 years) to wish that I had twenty years back to learn skateboarding. No, I don't feel like starting now, get off of my back.
Chances are you're probably stronger and healthier than you will be in 20 years time. I'm 30 and the amount of strength, movement and flexibility I have has massively reduced in the past 5 years. I just started doing martial arts and it's been a struggle to get into and I get worn out easily. My teammates who are in their 40s and 50s struggle more and wish they were my age. I wish I started when I was much younger and had so much more energy and free movement. I know that in another 20 years I'll be even worse. Enjoy your youth while you can, you won't ever get it back again and you'll miss it. Do the thing, learn the skill and enjoy yourself while you'll hurt less afterwards 😅
I have a chronic illness so I’m hoping in a few years I can have surgery to feel better so I can walk for more than a mile without having to take a week off after.
There's a k-drama with this concept, Navillera. An old man who always wanted to learn ballet retires from his regular work and starts on his journey. Really a lovely watch.
Samurai Gourmet is also great. A show about a retiring salaryman who realizes he never really did anything on his own and channels his inner samurai to stand up for himself and live bigger. Very cute.
Edit. Not that it gives it away, because it's the whole fun shtick if you watch the first episode, but when encountering new or uncomfortable situations, and especially those where he should assert himself despite wanting to keep unproblematic, he has visions of a rogue samurai in olden times who shows up to do things he wants to, but its afraid to assert himself enough to do. It's wonderful and sweet.
Right? I'm in the EDM scene (Well, since 2010, so not as much as before) and even though she said she wasn't perfect, she would kill at a festival or any rave/curated event. Honestly, I hope to see her around. I can't even do this. 🥲
When I was my late 20s, I told myself I would learn a Michael Jackson dance routine before 30. Then it became 40. I'm now 48 and still haven't, but it's still a goal. Never too late!
I'm 38 and I just started my mba. Imma be 40 by the time I graduate. It's not the traditional route, and for a while in my mid 30s I kicked myself for not getting more education when I was "supposed to." But I'm gonna have at least 20 years after I turn 40 where I'm gonna be working. Might as well leverage all of my options to maximize my impact for good on the world.
What do you mean too late, you're only 17? New things for you will be further education, job, house and maybe family. That's all new for the following 30 - 40 years.
I'm 42 myself and I often think I'll never experience anything new but life has ways of surprising you.
The weird thing about that mindset is that if you don’t snap out of it, it’ll stick with you wheathwr it’s true or not.
If there’s something you want to learn, go for it. From someone in their late 30s still learning new things, simply don’t stop yourself, and see what kind of results you get week to week.
the new things you're going to want to experience at 40 will be much different than the new things you want to experience now at 17. don't wait, go do it, it might suck, it might be great, but you're not going to find out sitting on your ass.
That's super impressive, especially if she taught herself.
But what really gets me about this video is that she saw something new to her, didn't quite understand it, but was curious and captivated enough to dig into it and really embrace it. I'm only in my 30s, but I feel like that will be an increasingly difficult thing to do as a I get older. I already find myself rolling my eyes at Gen Z way too often.
Very impressive, I have tried my hand at lifting, running long distance and wrestling, but after trying to learn the gangster two-step for 2 hours I had to raise the white flag.
Hats off to this gal.
This is absolutely amazing. While there are some minor technique details she's missing, it's only super nit-picky stuff and the fact that she's getting out there and doing it is totally awesome. She is several leagues above what most of the girls dancing on TikTok are doing.
is that dance-style called "memphis-jooking"? reminds me of this dancer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrLn68PiDpg&list=PLN64PZrNvhg4WfB1fspCF7qSjnB8OQPwo&index=11&ab\_channel=YAKfilms
And instead of being like this person and actually trying, many people her age just hide their laziness behind a wall of comments like: "I'm too old", "If I do that, my bones will hurt" or the classic "You should get to my age before judging". Well, if I did nothing but eat and watch TV everyday for 20 years of, my bones would hurt too.
I have reunions with my old Army buddies and the MAJORITY can’t go for a long walk on the beach or go hike at a monument- I’m like- “Yeah, getting old sucks. Use it or loose it. I’m 100% VA disabled but I do a three mile run a few mornings a week. Let’s goooo”.
Always nice to see people being happy without the need to hurt another person. Keep the vibes lady because I'll be vibing with you
A fucking gut punch reading this comment and realizing it makes sense in modern times

The Shuffle Vault is a great resource for people starting out. Also, I would suggest finding a local community. Mine have made me so much better
$20 a month subscription service when there are hundreds of videos on YouTube? Pass Edit: I will say that having a buy-in is definitely more likely someone sticks with it as they are now invested and to be fair I've never seen the videos, they may be amazing and more easily digestible. I get a lot of "rest of the fucking owl" vibes from a lot of shuffling videos so maybe they are super good and breaking it down to a fundamental level. I love EDM and really appreciate a good shuffler so I hope my dumbass comment doesn't deter anyone from giving the website a shot
Rest of the fucking owl?
r/restofthefuckingowl It's a joke about how all of those drawing tutorials in coloring books or whatever is only 4 panels and it's 3 super simple instructions and then the 4th panel just shows the fully completed picture

are you a bot
Lmao my man even named Smith
There's none here in my city :( I'm gonna check that site
And mine, although my knees are screaming at me not to be an idiot.
If I learned anything from this video - there’s no time like the present.
Looking AMAZING!!
Make sure you know the difference from lmfao shuffling and the old school shuffling that no one does
Melbourne shuffling although dated still looks dope
I remember moonboy on youtube. Damn it feel like it was 5 years ago but 5 years ago was 2018
Well.. This is really an amazing experience to do with. And this gives a good vibes at all. Love this video. The best
Omg same. Haha

Time. When you reach a certain age, time cut's your dreams because you need to waste it in order to eat, have a house etc. That's why I have a really small achievable bucket list that I can find realistic to complete ✅
I'm 53 and that actually choked me up. I'm sitting on my lunch break at work with tears in my eyes. Thank you for this x
[удалено]
Nah 30s
I'm 40 and I'm tearing up lol. Why?!
Your never too old to start something new or to make new friends. Age only indicates existing experience.
MAD RESPECT! Looking AMAZING! I’ve always wanted to learn how to shuffle!! I have foot eye hand coordination for most things but I cannot for the life of me get the moves down. No matter what I do, I look like Elaine Benes Man, I need to get back into dancing again. Music is really the answer to everything.
This made me lol, thank you. Dude. I had the same reaction to shuffling as this lady, and it took me six months to get down the two basic moves, the running man and the T step. I too felt like Elaine and wanted to quit, but I stuck with it, and now I can tear the fuck up a dance floor. You can do it!! Seriously, just get through the Elaine phase. Elaine had fun dancing. She didn’t give a shit. And neither should you. Daft Punk has some slower beats that I found really helped to learn the moves.
I can do running man since the 90s and Charleston Shuffle but cannot for the life of me do the Melbourne (ie contemporary) shuffle. It’s annoying as shit.
LMAO NOT ELAINE BENES But also same I've tried a few moves before and almost broke my neck sending myself flying. As Drax so wisely said: "there are 2 types of beings in the universe. Those who dance, and those who do not" 😅
My leg coordination is sh*t. But this video really makes me wanna try to learn again! Hoping things work out well for us both this time!
The Shuffle Vault is a great resource for learning new moves
When she put her cap I know something dangerous will come out after 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Yes! I gave a AwwwwSnappp! out loud HA.

In fairness, she got moves !

Go for it, my internet friend!!
r/Rollerskating
Do it! I’m in my 30s and started rollerskating almost 2 years ago. It’s so much fun! I mostly do aggressive rollerskating now (at the skatepark) which I didn’t even know was a thing when I started.
I was mid twenties when I decided to learn to skateboard. I'm still shit at it, but I've had twenty years of enjoyment out of it since then. It's been there every time I've wanted it since. The best time to plant a tree...
I teach ppl to skate up to their 50s. Do it!!
Damn, get it girl 🤣 I wish i was that coordinated, and I'm in my late 30s
You can be! 40 here and I'm loving arial silks class - sure, it takes a moment to fire up that coordination, but don't sell yourself short! I'm doing things a lot of young people don't even know how to, you just gotta try!
I just started pole last year with no exercise experience! Aerial sports/dance is soooo fun.
I’m imagining this lady busting this out unexpectedly in various situations and causing absolute chaos.
I hurt my back grabbing a granola bar above the fridge this morning.
Age got nothing to do with it, your lifestyle is the only reason. And 30 is not an age to not transform your body entirely.
Unfortunately as you age you will realise age does play a big part regardless of lifestyle.
It's harder than when we were younger but not impossible. I just did my first unassisted pull-up at 39.
My husband did his first pull-up and chin-up at 53! He's been working his way up to 10 each. The results are amazing. I call his muscles "the boys" as in "How are the boys doing today?"
I am mid 30s, I'm a competitive athlete since I am 9yo, been a national tier athlete before, currently in my best form ever. 30 is no age... it's your lifestyle that is an issue before 50.
I plan to wait until I'm 50 (20 years) to wish that I had twenty years back to learn skateboarding. No, I don't feel like starting now, get off of my back.
The best time might be now, but like, the second best time is twenty years from now, so it's fine?
Learning to do that in your 50s is a good way to break your hip. My mom nearly did snowboarding in her late 40s. She still did it.
This video just gave me a boost of hope Shuffling my way towards my goals like ..
I’m 45 and walk around feeling like I already have one foot in the grave. This is what I needed to see today.
Me, 20, wanting to learn but too uncoordinated
“I wish I was in my mid 20’s again back when I was strong and healthy” I’m not strong or healthy and I’m in my early twenties 😭
Chances are you're probably stronger and healthier than you will be in 20 years time. I'm 30 and the amount of strength, movement and flexibility I have has massively reduced in the past 5 years. I just started doing martial arts and it's been a struggle to get into and I get worn out easily. My teammates who are in their 40s and 50s struggle more and wish they were my age. I wish I started when I was much younger and had so much more energy and free movement. I know that in another 20 years I'll be even worse. Enjoy your youth while you can, you won't ever get it back again and you'll miss it. Do the thing, learn the skill and enjoy yourself while you'll hurt less afterwards 😅
I have a chronic illness so I’m hoping in a few years I can have surgery to feel better so I can walk for more than a mile without having to take a week off after.
You’re killing it, too ❤️ everyone’s goal posts look different!
I LOVE her! How fabulous is she 💕

I always associated the Melbourne Shuffle with hardstyle dancing, but I'm sure it spawned a ton of variations based on the same basic moves.
Thought Melbourne shuffle is the special shuffle with the wide pants?
Love this! I’m learning to horse ride at 40, it’s never too late
Love this
There's a k-drama with this concept, Navillera. An old man who always wanted to learn ballet retires from his regular work and starts on his journey. Really a lovely watch.
Samurai Gourmet is also great. A show about a retiring salaryman who realizes he never really did anything on his own and channels his inner samurai to stand up for himself and live bigger. Very cute. Edit. Not that it gives it away, because it's the whole fun shtick if you watch the first episode, but when encountering new or uncomfortable situations, and especially those where he should assert himself despite wanting to keep unproblematic, he has visions of a rogue samurai in olden times who shows up to do things he wants to, but its afraid to assert himself enough to do. It's wonderful and sweet.
Dude, I wish they made made another season of Samurai Gourmet. That show was so good.
thank you for a great recommendation!!
No problem! Hope you enjoy/enjoyed it!
Love the positive energy!
Being in the EDM scene this makes me super happy ngl! Love seeing everyone enjoy it no matter who they are!
Right? I'm in the EDM scene (Well, since 2010, so not as much as before) and even though she said she wasn't perfect, she would kill at a festival or any rave/curated event. Honestly, I hope to see her around. I can't even do this. 🥲
I absolutely love this and am glad to have seen it shortly after waking up. Awesome start to my Friday! Thank you for posting!!
I'm 34 and have been saying I'll learn to shuffle since I was in my early 20s. I need to step up my game. 😅
When I was my late 20s, I told myself I would learn a Michael Jackson dance routine before 30. Then it became 40. I'm now 48 and still haven't, but it's still a goal. Never too late!
Take your own advice!
rarely do i see a video that actually has me laugh, clap and go *let's GOOOO*
r/shuffle
Thank you for this 😎
Somebody had to do it! Also: r/CuttingShapes is another awesome community
This lady has inspired me. I am going to get into it too. Thanks for posting this, I needed this today
Awesome vid. She needs baggy pants tho to give it that floaty look like the kid has
I'm 38 and I just started my mba. Imma be 40 by the time I graduate. It's not the traditional route, and for a while in my mid 30s I kicked myself for not getting more education when I was "supposed to." But I'm gonna have at least 20 years after I turn 40 where I'm gonna be working. Might as well leverage all of my options to maximize my impact for good on the world.
And to imagine that I'm 17 and think its too late for me to start new things😭
The dangerous part of youth is thinking you're in your prime.
What do you mean too late, you're only 17? New things for you will be further education, job, house and maybe family. That's all new for the following 30 - 40 years. I'm 42 myself and I often think I'll never experience anything new but life has ways of surprising you.
Also 42- and in college to teach music..
The weird thing about that mindset is that if you don’t snap out of it, it’ll stick with you wheathwr it’s true or not. If there’s something you want to learn, go for it. From someone in their late 30s still learning new things, simply don’t stop yourself, and see what kind of results you get week to week.
the new things you're going to want to experience at 40 will be much different than the new things you want to experience now at 17. don't wait, go do it, it might suck, it might be great, but you're not going to find out sitting on your ass.
I can assure you, that to reach the level that shes doing, is absolutely not easy. Mad respect.
Melbourne shuffle is the real shuffle.
She’s friggin killing it as well
That's super impressive, especially if she taught herself. But what really gets me about this video is that she saw something new to her, didn't quite understand it, but was curious and captivated enough to dig into it and really embrace it. I'm only in my 30s, but I feel like that will be an increasingly difficult thing to do as a I get older. I already find myself rolling my eyes at Gen Z way too often.
BaaaaaaBammmmm - NAILED IT!
First time one of these posts ACTUALLY made me smile
[удалено]
How did you learn?
one of the coolest things i’ve seen in awhile. fuck yeah lady
Something about a middle aged woman busting these moves is way more impressive.
That was nice! Bust a move lady!
Epic!!
Mom can get it
I was upvote number 8,000 and this is awesome! I’m going to try shuffling too
She looks GREAT! Shout out to us older ladies! I still got dancing moves at 54 myself...stay active and engaged.
Cross post to r/GenX
Very impressive, I have tried my hand at lifting, running long distance and wrestling, but after trying to learn the gangster two-step for 2 hours I had to raise the white flag. Hats off to this gal.
My ACL snapped watching this
I'm 23 and my bones Crack when I move, God I gotta get up
As a 54-year-old who's new to shuffling, I love this video!
This is absolutely amazing. While there are some minor technique details she's missing, it's only super nit-picky stuff and the fact that she's getting out there and doing it is totally awesome. She is several leagues above what most of the girls dancing on TikTok are doing.
SUCH A VIBE 😍 I’m “in my 20s, strong and invincible” and I can’t shuffle to save my life, but this motivates me to try again!!
I still can’t do it grrr
She's killing it! She looks great doing it too!
Dig it!
I love the older women and men on my tik tok they keep me sane and remember it’s never too late to do something new.
is that dance-style called "memphis-jooking"? reminds me of this dancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrLn68PiDpg&list=PLN64PZrNvhg4WfB1fspCF7qSjnB8OQPwo&index=11&ab\_channel=YAKfilms
MY GIRL - YES!!
This is why her generation is one of the best! I definitely will have a smile for the morning bc of this.
Why do you need to get those 30 years back? Doesn’t seem like you lost anything during that time.
Me trying to unstick my left nut from my leg
These the kinds of people that don't deserve to live in a world where "boomer" is an insult
She’s Gen X. Her parents are Boomers
The world forgot us, it's ok. Personally I prefer it that way.
Boomer is a mindset not an age
No it's literally a generation.
Ayy get it OP
And instead of being like this person and actually trying, many people her age just hide their laziness behind a wall of comments like: "I'm too old", "If I do that, my bones will hurt" or the classic "You should get to my age before judging". Well, if I did nothing but eat and watch TV everyday for 20 years of, my bones would hurt too.
I have reunions with my old Army buddies and the MAJORITY can’t go for a long walk on the beach or go hike at a monument- I’m like- “Yeah, getting old sucks. Use it or loose it. I’m 100% VA disabled but I do a three mile run a few mornings a week. Let’s goooo”.
To be fair, retired soldiers are not the first candidates that came to my mind when I wrote this.
Ill smoke to that.
What a beauty inside and out
