running man challenge

A dance with the song, 'Ghost Town DJ's - My Boo' playing where one commonly places their left foot behind the right and steps rapidly in place with other random dances placed in between. (spinning, bopping (the leg thing not whatever the fuck that other shit is), etc.) Fun to do with your friends and switch off to show off or just have fun.
Friend 1: Dude, the school is holding a dance but there's gonna be teachers crawling all over the place.
Friend 2: Doesn't matter, we'll still have fun.
Friend 1: Huh?
Friend 2: Running man challenge?
Friend 1: Hell yes.

A new, hip, cool, dank dance trend on social media. The Running Man Challenge is when you are doing the "Running Man" to an old 90's song, "Ghost Town DJs - My Boo".

Just as the hype over "Damn, Daniel" begins to wear off, the internet has created a new, obsessive trend. It's called The #RunningManChallenge, and is similar to other viral dance trends like the Harlem Shake.

Made popular by two University of Maryland basketball players, Jaylen Brantley and Jared Nickens, the challenge is simple: do a variation of the running man to an old '90s hit song called "My Boo" by Ghost Town DJ's. Though the first video was only posted a few weeks ago, versions of other people doing the dance are starting to spread to the NFL, NBA, and everyone else. The best part? The trend was started by two teens, Kevin Vincent and Jerry Hall.

Check out our favorite videos of the challenge ahead and don't be surprised if when you hear "At night, I think of you," you find yourself doing the running man.
Generic Teen: Hey, man let's do a viral trend!
Generic Teen 2: Sure!
Generic Teen: Okay, let's do the #runningmanchallenge!
Generic Teen 2: I don't see why not.
