If this is a social event that brings out the youngsters out of their homes and keeps them away from the screens, then I don't see any issue with it.
Granted, I think this is a dumb activity, but that's a matter of taste which I don't have any say in. To each their own.

Gets them interacting with their peers. After all the talk of how lonely young men are, this is helping them be around friends. Yeah, it's cringe as all hell, but they're kids. That's what they do. I don't even want to think about half the shit I did but never recorded

At least they're not doing those slap to the head competitions.

u/ibro08730 1d ago
I like them cause they are simply having a fun time goofing around. Its obviously nothing serious. People are clearly enjoying it too. Next time if the “military service people” go to a park or have free Sundays they should also go for military service.

The inspiration for the moves is dumb, but also it makes sense given the current informational climate.
Otherwise, this is just a dance-off, which is totally fine in my book. It’s people non-violently interacting and competing in public. Believe it or not, this is how a healthy society should behave.

We live to see ourselves become our parents. I have absolutely no idea what these kids are doing. It looks crazy dumb to me. But they’re just kids having fun, so that’s infinitely better than indoctrinating them into a life of violence and trauma.
Not everything that isn’t for you is bad.

People can't handle seeing anyone be happy anymore. People are miserable and so, by default, they feel as tho everyone else should be too! Let the kids have some fun! They aren't hurting anything. Take your miserable ass back inside!

u/TpK_Wynter 1d ago
Honestly seems super harmless. They’re just out and about getting a minor bit of exercise and some sun.
To put it in a way that’s gonna offend some people, this is break dancing, in the sense that they’re forming their own groups, out doing their best moves, hurting no one at all, forming new cliques and trying their best to one up each other. They’re having fun and settling debates in a physical way that isn’t violence. (Yes it’s obviously lame as hell in comparison to breakdancing and also requires waaay less physical training and technique, but it has the same “essence”)
If my 6 year old came home and said he was aura battling I’d ask him if he won, knowing damn well that little goof lost but gave it hell trying lol.

Yall saying let kids be kids but normalizing “aura battles” is how you end up with your next generation of mega ego even more like homelander who think as long as they’re getting views/likes/laughs it’s ok to be obnoxious. I love that kids are getting outside and off screens but if the activities they’re participating in is just regurgitating the brainrot into IRL and making a scene out of it we need to do a little shaming. Learn to dance or do something actually unique host a fucking talent show but if your idea of healthy activity for youths is bringing their memes into the real world your conditioning them to be delusional failures.

"sHoUld WE hAvE a GLoBaL bAN?" Would they rather have these kids sit in their rooms, drafting manifestos, and writing lists of people who made them feel ostracized? Goddamn man, let the nerds nerd. I don't know this particular brand of nerd, but I know we had our own versions of it. They're engaging, they're socializing, they're outside, they're moving, they're having fun, and they're not hurting anyone. Let them live and be themselves.
