I say we take off, nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

i don't mind the dance phenomenon aspect. it's the fashion that kills me: 1/4 rave, 3/4 euro-trash, with a dash of Hot Topic.

So basically, they dance like ravers but they fuck it up badly? I was doing that in Baltimore back in '97.

This thread should be retitled "Tektonik" so that we ensure maximum random googlers attraction

Haha Tektonik. I may not enjoy this dance a lot, but it always makes for great entertainment when you happen on those kids dancing it in the métro. I also remember having a lot of fun back in october in Lyon when 15 or so people were dancing beneath a statue of Louis XIV, a huge crowd around them and some people trying to mock their dance alongsides them.

last week I saw a cartoon with babies dancing the tektonik on M6

i've always said that tektonik was for kids under 18 but maybe that's pushing a bit too far M6...

It looks like a cross between "liquid" rave dancing and voguing..?
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 13:39 (seventeen years ago)
^^ this. it's just hyper extended rave dancing.
i first saw it in this Yelle video, but thought it had something to do w/the gay scene (voguing) http://youtube.com/watch?v=LYaZYmTwOxA

Aujourd'hui, mon filleul me montre fièrement le CD du groupe Kiss qu'il a reçu pour son anniversaire. Hardrocker dans l'âme, je jubile littéralement devant les goûts de ce môme de 7 ans... jusqu'au moment où il s'est mis à danser la tecktonik sur un de leurs morceaux. VDM.

Wow, daria-g - that VDM site is pure gold...
― baaderonixx, Friday, 18 July 2008 07:28 (seventeen years ago)
Haha, VDM is indeed an awesome website! And it is so easy to imagine a kid tektoniking to Kiss. I dont believe there is a single song to which they wouldnt be able to tektonik. I once a guy dance to Partenaire Particulier o_O
― Jibe, Friday, 18 July 2008 10:23 (seventeen years ago)
Ah yes "Partenaire Particulier" seems ripe for a 2008 tektonik remix...
