Hard bass is a style of music and part-time dance that is widespread throughout Russia and is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. His fans are laughed at on the Internet, since the vast majority of them are football hooligans and aggressive teenagers associated with the criminal world. The dance moves are very primitive, so you don't have to worry about how to dance hard bass.
History of occurrence
In the early 2000s, St. Petersburg suffered from spiritual crisis. Russian rock gradually faded into the background. He practically died out. The adult generation was obsessed with chanson. Pop music has already bothered everyone, so the youth had no choice but to create something completely new. For the first time, hard bass was turned on in clubs where gopniks gathered, hallmark which were Adidas track pants. The "cultural" population demanded some kind of replacement caucasian lezginka. The replacement appeared in the form of hard bass. Right-wingers joined in here. Hard bass has become a hallmark of football players.
Peak of popularity
The peak of popularity falls on 2010, when four young Petersburgers posted a video on the network, where they taught how to dance hard bass. The video has spread all over the Internet and has become a new meme. The authors of the video are Pavel Zhukov and Val Toletov. These two men brought hard bass culture to new level. After that, people from different parts of Russia began to make parodies of the popular video, which promoted it and helped to gain international popularity, which has not faded to this day.
Essence of dance
The essence of the dance is rhythmic movements to low beats. The movements are simple and energetic. Even the most humble person, having heard the rhythm of this music, will want to understand how to dance hard bass. But here special mind is not required. The movements are the simplest. You can dance as much as you want and as much as you want. Words in music are the most uncomplicated. It is also not worth looking for something sacred in them. And the movements themselves correspond to the music. The speed of the beats in the compositions is one hundred and fifty beats per minute. There is no deep metaphor here. Some kind of joke is brewing here: gopniks, dancing hard bass, urge people to follow a healthy lifestyle. Such is the inconsistency. The style, which by vocation was supposed to call people to bad habits, does the opposite. At the same time, rock, reggae, and many other musical directions called for an unhealthy lifestyle - sex, drugs and rock and roll ...
How to dance hard bass
There are no specific rules in this matter. Just about ten people gather in the city center or in public transport and dance to fast music. The most common movement is swinging the arms at the same time as tapping the heel, but this is all individual. You need to follow your body, and not obey any certain rules that tell you how to dance hard bass.
The meme with this dance has gone so far that any irrational movement that occurs in films and TV shows is mistaken for hard bass. For example, a video is very popular on the net, where the character of the movie "It" Pennywise dances hard bass. If you look at everything from common sense, then the antagonist of the Stephen King novel and film adaptations just jumps on the spot. But it also counts as hard bass.
It is impossible to say exactly when the hype with this dance will end. It is spreading all over the world, but any meme will die out someday. This one is probably no exception. His homeland is Russia. For many patriots, this is pride, but most people from abroad who see this dance scoff at the performers. Therefore, it certainly cannot be considered the pride of the country.
“To make it more fun, you dance harbas faster !!!” or here's another “ONE, ONE, ONE, THIS IS HARDBUS! EVERYONE IN ADIDAS SHOES!”. Yes, it is incredibly difficult to understand modern youth! But still it is possible. And sometimes you need to. Let's start by opening the veil of secrecy over such an incomprehensible word as hardbass. By the way, no one really knows how it is spelled correctly. We will write simply - hardbass, although English version words suggests separate spelling HARD BASS.
If to speak plain language, then hardbass is a style of music and dance that is danced to this music. This musical direction appeared quite recently - in 2010. St. Petersburg is considered his homeland, and Dj Snat is considered to be the founder.
It should be noted that hardbass is one of the directions electronic music. Hardbass refers to a style called pumping house. Hardbass is a dance that can be danced alone or in a group. And it is not necessary to dance hardbass only at discos and nightclubs. This dance is very often danced just on the street in front of an astonished audience, or in the trading floor of a large supermarket. And it's not just dance and not just music.
This dance has its own business card is a special hand gesture. At the same time, the fingers are clenched into a fist, and the first and fifth stick out. This gesture is the sign of the real hardbass. Only with such a gesture they dance it. In addition, it is easiest to dance hardbass in sportswear, and it’s not for nothing that there is such an expression “ONE, ONE, ONE, THIS IS HARDBAS! EVERYONE IN ADIDAS SHOES!”. However, I have started repeating myself...
Now a little about the name of this style of music. For those who do not know English - hardbass is translated as " high bass". And indeed, none musical direction there is no such a fast pace - about 150 beats per minute and no such unique and powerful bass. But because of this bass, the style itself becomes quite complex and attracts only the most real fans of electronic music.
So it turns out that you should not judge people only by their clothes. It seems at first glance simple guys and the girls dance a rather simple dance with spread fingers. But in fact, the dance turns out to be stuffed, with a twist. And it's much better if the same guys or girls were lying somewhere under the fence in a deranged state.
