The Macarena takes too long! Today’s kids have the attention span of a gnat on speed. Quote from the Nae Nae “article”:

“Teens and little kids, their attention span is real quick, and Vine is just six seconds, real quick,” CalLamar explained. “So it’s easier to promote on Vine than with actual YouTube videos, where you have to type the whole name in and watch the whole two- or five-minute video.”

Who has time for a two minute video? Not today’s kids! They’ve all had their Abebaios blocks removed, and their minds move a hyper accelerated speeds. Whole trends can come and go in hours.

Well part of the dance is ‘do the stanky leg’ so there’s that.
