It's just the US in a nutshell

US pioneered this sort of idiotic consumption but this toxic behavior has spread it seems.

Asians seem to enjoy a lot of this. Aint that song Gangham style song literally mocks it? or is it venerating it?

I thought gangham style was about getting 45 year old women in hr to dance like an idiot, so that the next week she'd be more open to getting an ice bucket dumped over their head for charity.

Also, minor league hockey teams.

And all of this exclusively in a window of time about 10 years ago.
