It all innocently started with the eroge opening in [Popotan->] but then some random otaku genius thought that Swedish dance pop and loli dancing can mix well. The rest is history, with thousands of variations of the iconic dance meme, including not only characters from various anime, manga, games, and doujin, but even real people dancing this rather weird dance. I would agree that the Caramelldansen phenomenon has some sort of charm into it, in which when you see some of your favorite charas you chuckle a bit at its undeniable cuteness. It may get old pretty quickly, but as new ideas revolving around the dance surface on the tubes and the dougas, this one won’t die that easily.
It’s pretty crazy how fast these memes can blow up. I like the Final Fantasy IV time paradox one with adult and loli Rydia at the same time!
So… this is what Caramelldansen is about! Haha. Somehow that makes me want to watch Popotan now.
Internet memes are indeed fascinating. Somebody should make a PhD thesis out of this.
And there is the greatest AMV ever made
Oops. Let’s make a well formed link this time… greatest AMV ever made
I was watching this video yesterday (such a coincidence? lol) and it’s GREAT!! dance dance it’s addictive
It’s so addicting. I spent all night surfing these once. But you know, some people get a little carried away with it- once you get morons on youtube posting videos of themselves caramelldansen, it’s not even cute any more. It’s pathetic. People like that ruin the fun for everyone else.
