Ähm He died for russia... :/ He volunteered and died after just a few months. In the end, it was just another senseless death. Like every death in every war

tecktonik has been showing up a lot all of a sudden. Makes sense I guess, it's 20 years old at this point and ripe for nostalgic resurrection.

I feel like not enough people dance anymore. Everyone is too scared of looking dumb and being recording.

This guy is having fun and that’s something to be proud of. Who cares if you look cool, as long as you’re having fun. Having fun is cool AF

u/rachsteef 1d ago

half of these comments are about how dumb he is, hell, one of the top comments explicitly calls this dumb as shit…

It’s fucking depressing.

u/Exciting-You2900 1d ago

People making fun of it are sad pathetic people. Their lives are boring and gross.

21

u/mynaneisjustguy 17h ago

Not it's just human nature; all posts are most likely to first be discovered by no-life teenagers because they are permanently online. They can't do this dance, so they hate on it because inside their psyche they are unhappy but admitting that is to destroy their own ego and being so instead they hate on things.

u/portablebiscuit 1d ago

That guy is so not putting himself in danger to look dumb. When you reached a high skill level you are above the risk to humiliate yourself. If he couldn’t dance and still be up there he’d have my adoration for being brave.

Anyways looks cool af

u/turnipofficer 1d ago

I was at a gig last week and allowed myself to be peeved at someone who spilt or threw beer in my hair (I never was sure who did it) and I realised to my horror I had stopped moving enough that if I moved either elbow back they would touch a person.

My inaction had allowed people to claim the space that was rightfully mine. Thankfully an acoustic number came on and that chilled me out a bit, then when a livelier number came on I was able to find space to move again. By the end I was a Plutoid no more. I had cleared my orbit and I could move and dance to my hearts content for at least the last few songs of the night.

Honestly people should never be afraid to dance. In my opinion it doesn’t have to be perfect, if you’re moving and you’re having a fantastic time then I vibe with that. I just love seeing people enjoying themselves.

Shoutout to the video of the two brother’s dancing from back in the day…

u/Entgenieur 1d ago

I think there were friends not brothers. However one of them is teaching this dance now.

The other one died. Read rumours he died as a Russian soldier in Ukraine but haven’t seen any evidence. The one alive just asks people to not talk about it.

u/SneakyDeakyJr 1d ago

So probably :(

Dont know. There are many reasons people don’t want others to discuss about the death of a loved one. Suicide could be also one.

u/Whimsicatto 1d ago

Genuine question: Does this style of dancing have an actual name?

33

u/joutfit 1d ago

Tectonik.

This was really popular back in like 2007 in Europe mainly. Lots of people in the clubs doing this back then as it was associated with a certain wave of electro music.

Check out "A Cause Des Garcons" by Yelle! It was like THE tectonik song at some point.

6

u/2eanimation 19h ago

Our class in school was mostly into jumpstyle/hardstyle. Then we got French exchange students bringing tectonic into the mix. Was blown away by the moves. We had lots of fun that week, despite them being French

4

u/mynaneisjustguy 17h ago

Weird, we did this at raves in the early 90's. Is there a chance that your view of when it became popular has anything to do with your age? Like I can't image we invented this in the early 90's and it was super popular at the time.

4

u/joutfit 16h ago

Yeah there is definitely a chance! I am in my 30s so would have been a kid in the 90s.

Though I'm almost positive I am correct. Tectonik was a very specific movement of like neon colored clothes, these kinds of dance moves and a specific wave of electro music all in the mid 2000s.

You can be thinking of dance styles that led to the tectonik scene but they aren't completely the same thing

u/Kaporalhart 1d ago

I had completely forgotten about that. This was a thing when i was in highschool, around 2006. For some reason, it was the most uncool thing ever in the eyes of the other kids. everybody hated it.

Man, looking at it now, it's so stupid to get angry over the most mundane things. I just "hated" it to blend in.

... maybe everybody did ?

u/Appropriate_Side_433 1d ago

Ya man. The amount of stuff that I’ve “hated” just to blend in is dizzying. No more though. Now I only like what I like and hate what I hate.
