Fap Dance: A Visual History

Since there's not much going on in KPop (or this site OHOHO) right now, I decided to try something new. Without further ado, I give you my not-at-all-comprehensive visual presentation on the fapdance phenomenon. WARNING: THERE IS A FUCKTON OF GIFS AFTER THE JUMP, SO PREPARE TO LAG YOUR FACE OFF FOR A GOOD MINUTE OR SO IF YOU HAVE SHITTY INTERNET. 




By now you've probably noticed an increasing prevalence of a certain move in many of our girl groups' dances. Colloquially dubbed the "fap dance," this highly suggestive gesture has its origins in an earlier time of KPop. In those simpler days, The Wonder Girls broke new ground by incorporating this move into So Hot.

As you may have been able to guess, the fapdance is exactly what it sounds like: a dance move that is essentially a fapping motion. Then after a two year drought (more like I couldn't find anything after So Hot's fapdance), the fapdance resurfaced in T-ara's comeback MV. The Wonder Girls' prototype move isn't quite the fapping motion we've gotten used to seeing nowadays, but T-ara took this basic move and refined it to a state more like the modern fapdance.

From there, it caught on like wildfire, spreading to rookie acts like Miss A and even veteran performers like Chae Yeon. Each group put its own take on the fapdance, combining it with other moves or embellishments.

Miss A - Good Girl Bad Girl (2010)

Chae Yeon - Look Look Look (2010)

SNSD - Oh! (2010)

Rainbow - A (2010)

Lee Hyori - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (2010)

BoA - Hurricane Venus (2010)

Sunny Hill - Midnight Circus (2011)

Miss A - Good Bye Baby (2011)

Having proven its longevity and staying power within the KPop gestalt, the fapdance has thus firmly established itself as a dance phenomenon. What sorts of fresh new ways will the fapdance be incorporated into KPop's dance choreographies in 2012? Only time will tell, and from the looks of the rookie groups' efforts thus far, we will not be disappointed.

EDIT: If you know of any KPop fapdances I've missed, feel free to tell me in the comments below and I'll update the article.

((Okay if you've gotten this far, you deserve to know that this "article" was the result of a bet between me and Davidfresh. He thought I couldn't compile a fuckton of fapdance gifs. Who's laughing now, bitch?))
