Soulja Boy's Instructions On How To Look Ridiculous
Look, I think we all agree that the strictest interpretation of arcane signifiers of patriarchal masculinity is a losing philosophy. I'm not arguing for some kind of extroverted "metrosexuality" either (and if you ever hear me actually say that word out loud, you have my permission to chop my head off and bury it in the ground), some aspects of tradition can be reassuring and helpful in constructing a stable and confident self-image. But I do think that we're all of the mind that there is some unavoidable fluidity in modern gender roles, and that there's nothing wrong with a guy who doesn't care about sports (guilty) and who not only thinks Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" is a piece of perfectly-crafted pop music, but has mouthed along to the lyrics on the train (no comment). To summarize, I guess I'm just saying that people should feel comfortable in their own skin, unburdened by societal pressures to conform to some kind of oppressive cultural ideal of what it means to be a man or a woman.
Except for Soulja Boy. He should feel all kinds of mad pressure to not make any more videos like this.
Whatever. Just a bunch of dudes enjoying each other's company and making an earnest video about how to dance like a bird. It's cool (it's not cool).

Is this a joke? They look like a mix between a penguin & a pigeon. I might be older then them but I can't imagine this attracts females.

I love how they aren't even uniformly good at doing the dance. Also, WHY DOES HE HAVE TO SAY "BIRD WALK" SO MANY TIMES WHILE WEARING A SHIRT THAT SAYS "BIRD WALK." Soulja boy is tacky/sucky.

my little brother lives for this shyt... the dress length flash-dancesque tees. he and his equally bizarre friends get pissed when i suggest that they just commit to the look - lose the pants, cut the collars a bit, and belt the tees in the middle..

I absolutely do not understand the point of "Tell 'Em" being his rapping surname, if you will.

And is it souljaboytellEm.com or souljaboytellUm.com?
I like "tell 'um" more, cause it helped me make this palindrome: LOL mullet, yo. Boy, tell 'um. LOL

it's inspiring that a kid with such an obvious physical disability (freakishly long torso, teeny baby legs) has been so successful in a difficult industry.

It's good to know the guy in the dreads is alive after drinking all that Patron.
