Big fan of Wings beatboxing and this was fucking cool

u/eugoogilizer 19h ago

Same, Wing has become one of the best ever beatboxers and I had no clue they used his stuff for dance competitions!

u/Kiwi57 19h ago

I’ll definitely be putting this on and having a crack at it next time my daughters got some friends over, they’ll think I’m so cool

u/anonymous_beaver_ 15h ago

Kind of cool:

Both the music and the dancer are humans imitating machines.

u/ItsEntsy 11h ago

Yea it would be nice if OP mentioned that the music for the video was performed by another crazy feat of human expression.

Yes man! the guy's a legend and an inspiration. Still gutted he didn't win GBB last year.

u/FSOKrYpTo 19h ago

I'm just curious how pretending to be a robot is "human expression"

28

u/C-57D 19h ago

because dance is human expression, this is bro's chosen style of dance

-7

u/Mayfect 19h ago

He’s also beat boxing.

20

u/C-57D 18h ago

nope, the dancer is not. the song is Dopamine by Wing (who is indeed beatboxing)

When robots become indistinguishable from humans, what will it look like to do the robot dance?

u/Unfettered1977 19h ago

Caravaggio and van Gogh knew nothing about booom booom nnnnnnn bop booom booom nnnnnNnn bop robot man

3

u/Tzarkir 13h ago

I mean, your actions are also human expression and I'm sure you aren't another Caravaggio. If anything, the most human expression is a imperfect product made by flawed people. That's the most human thing of them all. Even those two, Caravaggio was an asshole and Van Gogh a deeply troubled man with mental issues. Dude likes his boom bop nnnn, he's having fun expressing it before his limited time runs out. It's alright.

u/Unfettered1977 7h ago edited 5h ago

it was entirely intended to induce a chuckle, dear friend, see my comment below. Not a serious statement on the merits of one form of expression over another, nor an endorsement of the person I was replying to lol. It was kinda meant to say what you're saying in a funny way. It's alright.

I enjoyed it quite a bit actually, Bob lol. "Man make joke, man must not appreciate thing" is kinda caveman ass thinking tbh ;)

edit: so this isn't just me teasing you, here's one of my fave dance routines with a similar vibe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2FTwbkbmcc

Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer in the world. A lot of that was because he did the robot really well.
Basically, humans love the robot.

u/BerryConsistent25 1h ago

Does the fact that OP is a bot answer your question? 700k karma on a 2 year old account and not a single reply on its own post is enough proof for me to block it

u/mrsardo 17h ago

It’s just the name of the dance style. Robots don’t actually move like this, unless they’re really good at imitating human dancers. This particular style isn’t even what I would call “robot.”

u/nolongerbanned99 19h ago

Not much different from what Michael Jackson would do on stage

Ironic that we, as humans, have spent the last couple of decades trying to program robots to have more human movement, but now humans dancing with robotic movements is more impressive...

u/OutrageForSale 19h ago

Curious how the music for these dances get created. Does the dancer find the music first, and then choreograph their dance around the perfect score? Or does the music get tailored to the dancer’s liking?

The heartbeat thing was especially interesting. Amazing the way he manipulates his body.

3

u/eugoogilizer 19h ago

In this case the dancer definitely found the music and choreographed his dance to the song. The song is called Dopamine and it’s done by the world famous beatboxer Wing 😎

Looks more like robotic expression to me..

Man it makes my teeth itch when people do that thing where you can tell that they can tell (or think) that whatever they're doing is making them look super cool.. You see it at the slow part when he's hitting his wiggle fingers back and forth.

As someone who used to dance this is pretty meh to be honest but we’re all entitled to our opinions.

If I were to think of a performance that captured the title of this post I would point to something like this performance.

How are made up moves, practiced over years, and distilled down to a routine this person probably knows forward and backwards "pure human expression?"

u/loppyrunner 19h ago

It’s not human expression if you practice first? This is really bad news for every art form ever! Gotta rethink all of it now

"Pure" like unmixed, unchanged, unaltered, natural.

u/loppyrunner 19h ago

So it’s not “pure” human expression if you practice first… definitely negates my whole thing doesn’t it? Egg on my face. Clearly, this dancer who practiced his routine before performing it is not pure. My bad

u/loppyrunner 19h ago

This is fun! We’re having fun! Just gotta run my enjoyment of cool shit I see on the internet through this new filter of “did the person doing this cool thing ever dare to practice the thing before showing people?” Gonna be tough, cause I’m a big reader but I found out recently books go through a “rough draft” phase and are edited before publishing. Can you believe that? Obviously not “pure, unaltered, unmixed or unchanged”! Can’t even fathom how I’ll enjoy music now, never mind sports, photography, paintings... No way all those people didn’t practice. They’re not pure!!!
