That first guy to upload the shuffle really had it down. You can see his commitment reflected in the expressiveness of his moves in a way that’s absent from other attempters

"from his sad expression and expressive moves you can really tell he's a fan of pinegrove"

The pinegrove shuffle is a dance of sadness, grief, the feeling of losing something that was never there to begin with. The flailing of the arms actually fit perfectly with song’s lyric “theres nothing here to care about”, like a bodily outpouring of frustration and anger with no direction, hence the flail. The shuffling of the feet could also be seen as one walking and stumbling through life’s trials and the flurry of emotions, cycling through the mountains and valleys of life’s hardships. Finding someone new, falling in love, only to have your heart broken and end up back where you started. Thats the pinegrove shuffle.

I would watch a whole show with this as the premise. The Mystery gang just vibing on cool tunes, maybe smoking a doobie. Just having a all around good time.

Do “mow the entire football field with your teeth” or murder on my mind Edit:also do Phineas and Ferb holding people at gunpoint for summer vacation only being 70 days instead of 104 days

the dance immediately reminded me of the killer bean dance

Unrelated but that "Oh no no" clip of that ice skater's finger against the blade scared me to death. Hopefully he still has his fingers.

The meme is wholesome enough where that take is both right and wrong. I mean the bit where he said some indie artists are upset over the trend. If it was some stupid ass meme like half of the shit that usually goes out they'd be 100% right. But the meme itself is so down to earth that if anything it's just really great exposure/press for the band. But a meme is a meme, so there's definitely gonna be kids saying "oh that's that one meme song" or "oh that's that one meme band" and there lies the problems of getting recognition through a meme. Wholesome or not, memes do in fact take away some of the songs meaning and art as said in the video because now it's forever linked to memes in general as apposed to being just a very good song.

Truly a Pinegrove Shuffle moment

Great content I don't know how he finds memes faster than anyone else?

Love that Pinegrove is wrapped up in this meme.

"Anyone can recognize good music" Amen to that!

Looking forward to when the hockey games I work at start playing this song. It'll be a welcome breath of fresh air from all the times they play songs that everyone stopped caring about when newer, better songs came their way (they are still playing Rude even though Running Up That Hill and About Damn Time are right there), even though much of the time they play timeless songs.

I’ve been a fan of pinegrove for a long while and it’s nice seeing a small band get some recognition.

As someone who lived in Pine Grove, it's great to finally get some representation

wow i remember pine grove back in the day, this is crazy

Dude, Pinegrove just showed up on my Spotify radio and I remember seeing the name somewhere earlier this morning. and that’s when I remembered you dropped a video on them. Crazy how that works

wonderful dance

0:11 that's me!!!

Obviously the grimace shake

Personally, this trend feels like a form of prayer and a way to let go in a harsh and nihilistic world. When I sway my arms in this particular manner, it's as if I'm conveying to the world, "I've had enough. I'm done with all the struggles, and now I just want to loosen up and truly enjoy life." And when I do it with my friends, the experience becomes even more meaningful. For me, this trend is about releasing my inner emotions through dance and finding solace in the presence of my closest companions. It's a way of expressing my frustrations, fears, and burdens, and then letting them go with each sway of my arms. Through this physical movement, I feel a sense of liberation and a renewed connection with my own vitality. Dancing alongside my friends who share the same desire to escape the pressures of our daily lives strengthens the impact of this trend. It creates a powerful bond of unity and support. We are all seeking respite from the demands of the world, and together, we find joy and comfort in each other's company. In essence, this trend serves as a reminder that life is not just about the hardships and obligations we face. It's about finding moments of bliss, celebration, and self-expression. By engaging in this dance, I am able to release pent-up emotions, rejuvenate my spirit, and experience the sheer joy of living. It's a way for me to say, "I'm here, and I'm ready to embrace life with all its ups and downs, surrounded by the best people who uplift my soul. Don't let this trend be about feeling sadness, let it grow and blossom into something beautiful and happy a means of letting go. pin me. please.

Wake up every morning, drink a glass of of water and do the pinegrove shuffle at least 3 times before i start my day

This was surprisingly wholesome.

Damn I already thought he wouldn’t make a video on it

1:13 this sound really spreads (like) cancer. The "dumb ways to die" on the other hand is far more enjoyable imo

I interviewed Evan of Pinegrove, very friendly guy.

Not playing the ad so I don't have your yegg videos in my watch history. Yegg yegg YEEGGG

i really neede this origin, thank you

100% will be adding this to my rave dance moves book.

I’ve never quite understood why need 2 hits me so emotionally but it’s one of my all time faves. Like listen to it at least once a day minimum for at least a year and a half now lol usually 15 times a day. I can play it on almost every instrument I own too

this is such a Pine grove Shuffle moment

That’s a variation of the “Indian Step”. I’m sure none of these youngsters have ever seen footage of an old school bboy top rocking like that though, so they couldn’t have directly bit the move. What a trip

Didn't know this was a meme but it's funny and cool to see dances from like cartoons, games, movies, etc used irl for stuff I always find that neat. Also didn't know Joe Cappa did an animation of that dance with scooby doom but it does fit well into his style so thank you for showing that.

I love the fact that Internet eras are coming back as a nostalgia trend, which is very fresh from TikToks and Shorts

If they're smiling while doing the dance, they don't get it.

Really love this. Channel

“So expressive ” lol

When I die I want this to be my idle animation

I'm thankful for this meme, otherwise I would never have found Pinegrove's lovely music

If y'all haven't watched Joe Cappa's Scooby Doo or the Adult Swim shorts 'We're All Clowns' do yourself a favor and do so. It's beautifully wholesome with a... distinct art style.

Since I've seen it a bunch recently, do "He can't see, he has Cataracts."

When you find the glass in the small pocket.

that scooby doo one had some pretty neat rotoscoping

could you talk about the trout king in the next vid? its so inclusive idk whats the meme about with a lore and everything and i can't understand it so i hope you could help me with that

reminds me of the charleston dance

This has definitely been going on longer than June

Every outcome is such a comedown!

The pine Grove shuffle is me in power wash simulator

Man i love pinegrove, pinegrove is life

One of the only recent trends that are actually wholesome and fun.

I legit did this last month with my group. We go out and do shrooms and get stoned together and we love this dance.

Pinegrove shuffle feels like the dance that your senior best friend would do when you show up with good za

My favorite part is that everyone looks distressed while they're doing it

Please do the Skibidi Toilet 🤣

It's the Khaled shuffle not the pine grove shuffle. Give my boi Dj Khaled his 💐

Do the Gopnik meme!

I show speed jumpscare is everywhere I see, I think that should be next

i love how it’s a meme of the people

theres something about how floppy the first guy's arm movements are thats just missing in the versions done by others. but its a crucial element imo

that first dude dont skip leg day

Only reason most people do it is because it's a trend, because people are shallow and simple like that. First dude seem like an actual fan, respect.

i think originates from the dj khalid video of him shuffling tbh anyone else agree?

Hey could you teach us a lesson. In the Austin theory meme?

Oh damn I just found the song before the trend came along, didn’t see how new this video was lol.

shuffle the pain away

his bones look rubbery. its so funny

The Griddy 2

I miss that Wilco/ the shins time period of music

bruh wtf this is my assistant track coach 😭

You gotta lift your right leg for accuracy

Dang wasn’t expecting a pinegrove meme

That kinda reminds me of hitting the griddy

I need to see HideThePain Harold paingrooving

All ima say is that we was doing that dance back in 95.

"the midwest emo explosion of 2023" lol this whole video is satiring itself lol

I would kill to see Dobby do this dance

if this man covers garten of banban i wont be suprised

The pinegrove shuffle is a BBoy dance from the hood breakdancers in the 1980s..

I thought this dance was from a video game

I literally went to school with the original guy. Guys a chiller

it look like a kids thing, like when one kid was annoying another , and then the other kid got so annoyed its willing to fight, and then they do one pinegrove shuffle to pretent they are gonna kick their asses but stop cause they know it not worth the hassle. we used to do it alot in base school

Do the Manny singing tribute. I've been seeing a lot of it

I thought it was stupid at first but it looks super freaking fun

there's also a place named the pine grove where Evan went to college at Kenyon in Ohio

No one could replicate the OG.

Reminds me of Twerking to Indie Music that went around around 2014

Top tier

I call it the log yard shuffle.

do the "I BE POPPIN BOTTLES" meme

people who don’t do the pinegrove right look like they’re doing the griddy

Dude what about dj khaled doing the dance?

Mmmmmmmm nostalgic sadness

Interesting how although no one can pinpoint the exact reason, everyone unanimously agree's the first guy is by far the best to do it. One reason that i can notice, is that while everyone elses arms seem to be mechanically moving into proper choreographed position, the first guy seems to allow gravity and leverage to do most of the work, whilst giving as little mechanical effort as possible. It gives his arms a super fluid, loose and effortless swingy look. Also, the fact he lurches forward and back in almost the exaxt same positioning. His feet are touching the same spots on the ground every time, giving it a controlled "running in place" look. Almost like your in a character select screen in a video game, and you're seeing the same character animation repeat over and over. Whilst others don't seem to have the same spacial awareness. This still begs the question, the first guy was the first to upload the dance, so he created the dance move?

joe cappa is massively underrated

do "manny sings" meme

this is funny because i live near a town called pinegrove

Bro, this Garrett Lee kid lives in like Newberry Massachusetts I swear to God I seen this kid

Forgot to mention how the shuffle was also mocking DJ Khaled's way of dancing

🔥🔥🔥
