Is this even a thing?

I mean, is it?

I love the fact that it’s a bunch of men showing us how to do this ‘thing’.

Once again @mikederob you have excelled yourself. I snap my fingers at you.

Oh, haven’t you heard? Everybody’s doing this now instead of breakdancing. It’s rather compelling, don’t u think? Mike de Robbio is awesome, as is Morningshines

words can’t describe how baffled I am. i didn’t know men ( or anyone) not only did such things but also take it so seriously.

I actually got an Associate’s Degree at the Institute of Snap!thology. It comes in handy in job interviews all the time. Very informative video.

Whoa. Haven’t seen this in nearly 20 years, but me and a few friends still remember it well enough to teach the finer points of Snap!thology to unsuspecting dinner guests, ticket inspectors etc.

Lovely. I always wondered how I could snap like a diva.

This was the parkour of the 1980s and 1990s… and that brief time around 2006 when the ‘Scissor Sisters’ made us all a little bit bi-curioser and curioser…

It was a thing, for a while a while back. First it was a gay black thing, then it was briefly an everyone thing; this is from the earlier period (hence “diva”). The camp is quite deadpan and easy to miss, but it’s there.
