what in the actual fuck. first time my jaw has actually dropped on r/wtf in a while.

[–]Ben-Hurr 14 points15 points ago

That was actually quite common here in Puerto Rico during 1995-2005. When I was in 7th grades my class mates use to visit those kinds of party all the time. I went once felt so dirty I never returned

Example of a typical reggaeton music video

Edit: those videos were broadcasted 24/7 so you could enjoy them when you arrived home at 1400 from school

I remember when it was just called "Underground" from 95-2001 or so, before anyone actually called it reggaeton. Back when the Playero Mixtapes were the rage. That Perreo stuff has been going on for a long time.

[–]Gaure 63 points64 points ago

for once, it feels like that sentence makes perfect sense.

[–]radioactive_seagull 46 points47 points ago

It's daggering, a dance popular in clubs in the Caribbean.

Don't worry about it.

[–]mocotazo 18 points19 points ago

FWIW daggering is a dancehall term. The kids in the video were Dominicans dancing to reggaeton (Perreo). In any case the dancing is the same.

[–]Theskyishigh 4 points5 points ago

Not that I'm not offended, but I don't think they're pretend fucking, more like immitating club dancing/grinding.

[–]ReeuQ 175 points176 points ago

Club dancing/grinding is an imitation of fucking.

[–]Miknarf 1 point2 points ago

you have a point. would people be nearly as offended if this was a video of kids playing with toy guns. You always see people commenting on how we have such an old-fashioned view on sex in that we allow extreme violence on tv but show a little nipple durring the superbowl halftime and people go ape shit. Isnt this the same kind of prejudice.

[–]Avista 1 point2 points ago

What dumb point are you trying to make?

[–]mocotazo 2 points3 points ago

Dominican kids.

In any case, the Dominicans I know in the states don't encourage that stuff.

[–]ladyway905 1 point2 points ago

Heh, that was the first thing I did. Have to gauge my reactions against others.

[–]prittypink 18 points19 points ago

Umm....I'm part black and grew up in a black community. This shit is not normal not even for black people. People who think this is some cultural thing it's not. I this looks like a case of bad parenting.

[–]coldsandovercoats 5 points6 points ago

From what people are saying, this is more common in just the Dominican, not the Black culture as a whole.

But anyways, I agree, it's bullshit that people are blaming "Black culture" for the fact that kids are doing this. There were precious little white kids in my elementary school doing drugs, yet their parents didn't want them around me because I'm part Native.

[–]diet_mountain_dew 122 points123 points ago

This is what we call in education "Bad Parenting"

This is becoming something kind of common in the latin culture.I also have a video in my favorites where a youngster dry humps its own mother. here is a video to prove it.

It's kind of funny that they don't see that as sexual. It's interesting how separate cultures can be!

[–]zeppoleon 1 point2 points ago

I wonder what they consider sexual...

[–]_DiscoNinja_ 227 points228 points ago

You're only seeing the beginning of this dance. In the end, the boy disappears and the girl is left alone with a baby doll.

What happens when shit parents have kids

[–]ninja-x[!] 17 points18 points ago

I would use the word "parents" lightly and substitute it with "people". You don't want to give these "people" too much credit by callin them "parents" they are a far cry.

[–]failbot30000 15 points16 points ago

These are the same people who let game consoles raise their kids then yell at game companies when those games fail to raise their child to their standards.

[–]franklymydeer 9 points10 points ago

Well... they have produced children, which makes them parents in my opinion. They might not be good parents, but they are parents.

[–]lochlainn 3 points4 points ago

The term just has too much positive press.

In biology, you have "offspring" instead of "children". You can talk about a "sperm donor" instead of a father. Euphemisms could perhaps deliver the nuance we're looking for.

Maybe we should separate "parent" from a more technical term like "immediate ancestor" or "populating agent" and reserve those terms for parents who do no actual parenting.

[–]ninja-x[!] 0 points1 point ago

I think the title of parent is something that is earned and proven. 16 & pregnant is proof that just about anybody with the right tools can produce a child, it takes a parent to raise one.

[–]sociomaladaptivist 2 points3 points ago

TIL there are only a few thousand parents in the world.

I saw this last year its from a youtube video, you can see the mother doing the same with a kid

[–]Gadflyii 52 points53 points ago

Not the first time I have seen a bunch of kids doing this "Dancing"... no idea where it comes from, but if I were going to take a wild guess.... rap videos?

Tell you what though... If I saw my 6-8 year old doing this... I would hit the F'n roof.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points ago

Comes from the Caribbeans

[–]scarletamaranth 2 points3 points ago

I think it's reggaeton. At least it looks like it from my experience. It's common in South American countries such as Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

[–]McDoop 18 points19 points ago

It's common in South American countries such as Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

But those are North American countries.

[–]sociomaladaptivist 1 point2 points ago

[–]IsAStrangeLoop -3 points-2 points ago

Yeah let's blame rap videos...I hear about those from the news sometimes and apparently they have swear words so yeah probably them.

[–]Im_white_and_spoiled -3 points-2 points ago

No, at that age they probably already understand what sex is if they live in a ghetto.

[–]Hjordt 8 points9 points ago

When I wanted people to be better educated on sex, this wasn't what I meant!

[–]mexa6 4 points5 points ago

In Mexico that's mostly attributed to "Reggaeton" music and is usually called "perreo," but this one is a little bit over the top. I'd consider the Daggering other people have posted the hardcore version of what you might see in Mexico or other Latin American countries, or maybe the original version...either way that's kind of messed up haha

[–]hafti77 6 points7 points ago

sad because they are too young to understand it or enjoy it sexually, they are just doing it because thats how they think you are supposed to dance

[–]PubeStache 2 points3 points ago

At least they're wearing protection. Pants.

[–]idontwannausemyname 4 points5 points ago

As a dominican i have to say this is very embarassing, i saw this video once parents were encouraging the kids to do the things they're doing. And i once was put up to this as a kid, it was shameful as anything, specially for me who always was a shy kid. Sometimes i hate our culture

[–]jannisjr 10 points11 points ago

I've just been staring into space for the past five minutes like this. I think i'm going to go cry now.

[–]mondomojo 2 points3 points ago

This is actually more of a Jamaican/Dominican dancehall sort of trend a la Sean Paul. Here is a NSFW parody of this type of dancing, or should I say "dancing".

[–]luseferr 4 points5 points ago

For people on the whole race thing....it's really not a race thing, it's a culture thing. I've seen other clips from the same video and from what I gather there from jamaica or some caribbean country and believe it or not this is an acceptable form of dancing in that part of the world it's in with the whole dancehall thing. Quit being so pig headed just because they are doing somthing that people don't do in your country. Just remember what's normal to you maybe strange to your neighbor.
