Tecktonik hits Korea!

what a gay type dance.
It’s ok for girls to dance like that.
For men, only morons and gays would do this crap dance.

This dance is very popular in France (my country) and I don’t know why

pouet! i hear you lol! i’m not French, only native speaker and brought up in the culture ! my friend who is more updated in the french music than me made me listen to tektonick all winter long ! so it got into me until i got back in houston! haha! the sound is cool, addicting but i think the dancing is too dangerous!lol and clothes (THAT GOT TO GO!!) CAN BOYS BREATHE IN THOSE CLOTHES? PANTS?
man…i miss Paris so much all my friends and family members are overthere!! they know how to party till sunrise (litterally)haha!

if interested people: listen to Yelle !

It kinda reminds me of Bae Seul Gi’s Bokgo dancing.

yeah.. this dance is VERY popular in EUROPE, france especially…. its been quite popular for a year now… its just an excuse for those who can’t dance.. but pretty cool if you are (close your eyes little kids) drunk or high…

it looks like the macarena and vogueing meets stupid
lmao no wonder no one does it here.. american dancers actually have talent and rhythm. Leave it to the euros to invent pure garbage where there is no need.

This dance style kinda reminds me of Para Para.

Gah, this type of music gives me headaches x___x
Yep, it’s freaking popular here in europe (unfortunately)… as said before, only high or drunk people can enjoy it XD
(Yelle is pretty fun, though…)

“Leave it to the euros to invent pure garbage where there is no need.”
That sounds mean.. after all, much of the ancient culture came from europe, you don’t need to be disrespectful!

I have never heard about Tecktonik before.
I think the song is addictive, but since I am european I don’t have a sense of rhythm and I can appreciate only garbage. Thanks Jackie, you opened my eyes.

hm. i personally don’t really like it o_0
it’s kind of…weird to me?
Like, what’s the skill in flailing your hands about?

I’m so glad this is finally catching on. I’m the only person here in the U.S. that actually likes it among my friends. listen to Tecktonik killer…so good.

Wow this is cool hoping to hear more of this

Uh, it doesn’t look like any new style to me. Then again, I said the same thing about crunk.

And conversely, don’t diss it either.

So i.e. it’s neither awesome nor retarded, cuz that just shows you don’t know what dancing is.

reminds me a bit of madonna’s “hung up” days.

i’ll pass. i’m still good with “tell me.”

uhh all I see is raving and more raving..

The dance looks really interesting ^^ But not for me..i don’t get how they even mix the dance moves and it just looks like they are all high XD
But i like the flashing belts ^^

I’m not so sure about DJ Koo’s version of the dance…it’s unusual contrast. I can’t get the whole dark-style super macho ghetto guy dancing in a feminine way. I’m still so used to the image of Eurpean hipsters wearing bright skinny jeans, sporting faux hawks or whatever crazy 80’s inspired Euro hair-do…Aztec rain dance…that’s hilarious. I first thought it was “Voguing.”

I don’t like hipsters. But I admit, it’s entertaining to watch..but I wouldn’t go our there and do it myself because I’ll feel like an idiot. It’s not intensive on your body like b-boy dancing, but seems like you definitely need rhythm for this. Every movement corresponds to the beat. It also seems to add elements of modern theatrical stage dance mixed with street and club style. To me, it seems more like a dancer’s dance..not something many of us ordinary people can and would be willing to pull off. The guys in the most of the videos look like gay trained dancers who have excelled at this dance..as if they should be in Madonna’s back-up dancers.

But if you go to many clubs in my area, you definitely won’t see this…these fraternity/soroity kids still doing the typical sleezy 90’s house-techno club scene. I’ll take eccentric tecktonik style over the greasy haired, muscle shirt and slutty dressed folks in US clubs anyday. (Only as my last resort of course…hahahhah.) Thanks.

u kno this reminds me of bae suel gi when she did that bokgo dance on the love letter show… ahah i prefer bae suel gi.

That tecktonik BS didn’t originate in Europe. That’s parapara dancing that Japanese ganguros have been doing since the late 90s. Do some reasearch for once. Verify a source. GOOGLE. Anything than just typing bull like that.

the first word that drops to my head when I saw the first dance move in that MV was GAY

and for the other video, the dance one, not the CF one
if that’s Tecktonik dancing, then I should be the leader of it, because Tecktonik it’s basically just moving and waving your arms and legs like a nutcase
same with krumping or whatever that stupid thing is called.
if it’s that easy to invent a new dance
I will too and it’s called OMFG I’m awsome
eh sound’s good doesn’t it XD

well, i thought this was a VERY interesting article. i never knew about the whole tecktonik scene until. for the person above me, what the hell this aint nothing like para para which is done to a different type of music and aimed at ganguro girls whereas tecktonic seems more like a dance for a rave kinda

youtube tecktonic then you’ll see how big it is (as I’ve just realised now)

@ ‘Tecktonik?! BS!!!!’
You’re BS. Why don’t you do your own research? Just because the parapara dance seems similar doesn’t mean that Techtonik originated from it. Many cultures have similar dances and just because Tecktonik is an French urban version of Parapara doesn’t mean that it originated in Japan. It’s a relativistic comparison, idiot. It was made by clubbers for clubbers. Get over it.

I have to say some of the arm movements made me think of para para dancing. But it just looks like people dancing, seems fun. The DJ Koo MV was great i liked it better than the last MV in the article.

why the heck are you guys arguing bout para para dance??? Nozomi just said it made him/her THINK bout the para para dance. damn, you ppl gotta learn to read and understand. the hell is wrong with people and fighting. now you’re making me swear.
aaaanyywaayysss…nice article. but i gotta agree with xD. the dance is sorta gay for me. now don’t anyone start bashing me just coz i said that. i’m just not into those kinda moves. but yeah, that dance is really spreading nowadays, isn’t it?

Hi all,

First of all, this dance should be named “electro” coz Tecktonik is a brand. Secondly, well what does bother me is the fact that few are making money with this so-called new culture. Specially, when you’re a kid and you wanna have the last pants, last hair cut, last shirt etc. What happens when you live in the suburbs of Paris and your parents don’t earn much money ? i let you imagine how gross this industry is getting…

JjKk from Paris

this is hilarious…tecktonik? whatever…yeah, all i see is raving and more raving too…just with a different name slapped on it! and the “style”? that’s just 80’s recycled sh*t!

:: haha!! i love tecktonik the first time i saw Jang Geun Suk dance it,, and when i hear DJ Koo’s song.. ^o^ ::

:: u know people,, tecktonik isn’t bad!! maybe you just don’t get it!!! it’s a kind of dance,, and it’s an art!!!! it’s fun dancing tecktonik though it’s tiring!!!! ::

:: JUST MY ADVICE: try to accept it and dance it.. i assure you, you will like and love it!!! ^o^ ::

Hey, tecktonik is really popular in new zealand as well. we have many crews who do tecktonik, and put videos on you tube. our style of tecktonik is different to the french. new zealands popular dance before tcktonik was shuffling, which uses quite ‘violent’ moves and music. new zealands transition between shuffling and tecktonik meant that our style of tecktonik is more ‘violent’. from a new zealand point of veiw, the tecktonik in france does look gay. though our tecktonik style is different we use much the same music. oh and has anyone heard or know how to do shuffling in wherever you are from.

thowt id add that i can tecktonik and loads of other people at NBHS can to. it is often done at school socials, although shuffling is still done, just not as much. tecktonik clothes are worn as normal fashion or clothes like tecktonik clothes. also tecktonik music is played everywhere. tecktonik is very popular, but you can tell that it become less popular.i think that when somebody finds a new dance, that tecktonik will no longer be commonly used. is tecktonik still popular in other parts of the world

awesome dance , luv the clouth
