The new trend is the most popular thing on the internet right now, and West Palm Beach now has their version of it.

The Harlem Shake is the new Viral Video Trend and there are hundreds (and maybe even thousands) of different versions online.  The concept is actually quite simple;  start with a few people acting normal and one person dancing, and then cut to a shot of a lot of people dancing and acting crazy.

The fun part about these videos is seeing all the different ways that people put their own spin on them.  You'll also find yourself watching each one more than once to make sure you caught everything that was going on.

According to iHeartRadio.com, the song that is playing throughout all these videos is "The Harlem Shake" by producer/DJ Baauer. Trap music seems to be getting bigger and bigger within the dance music community, which Baauer himself describes as "hip-hop born from the internet."

Here is the West Palm Beach version that was filmed just outside of our studio Thursday by The KVJ Show on Wild 95.5.  And in case you're wondering, yes, that's Carlos Mencia at the bottom of the screen.
