Users jumped to the comments to share their thoughts on the “80s boogie man,” with one person saying, “He’s been waiting for someone to ask him about his 80s dance skills for a long time now. He owned the moment.”
“He used to be king of the dance floor,” someone wrote.
“I was not prepared for how absolutely fire this is,” another wrote.
Another user, known as @Yungkimlet, showed her mom getting “jiggy with it,” according to the video that’s garnered over 33.5 million views as of May 15.
Users rushed to the comments to express how “unbelievably happy” the trend has made them, with one person saying, “My favorite thing about this trend is that there’s like NO hesitation for any of these people. Like (it’s) encoded into their DNA. They just KNOW.”
“I love this trend because they instantly look so youthful every time they start dancing,” another person said.
