The high energy black and white with music video features flashes of red and a killer soundtrack. I dare you to watch this without busting into a mini groove! It was created as part of the Campus Focus Fusion 08. "Coming home with the best video two years running!!" the [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) description says. "Congrats to the [JAM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-jam-30th-anniversary) and Honeycomb members. looking forward to another amazing year next year guys!" From a psychological perspective, choosing red was a great choice to evoke emotion. I'm not going to get into that though, because that's not why I like this video. No, I just have a genuine appreciation for [retro music, dancing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-and-spike-jonze) and people who know how to have a great time with it! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **User-generated Music Videos:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a platform that enables users to easily create and share their own music videos. - **Amateur Movie Reproductions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform or app that allows users to collaborate on amateur recreations of popular movies and share them online. - **Viral Dance Spoofs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a service that helps users create and spread viral dance spoofs of popular songs or music videos. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new technologies or platforms that enhance user-generated entertainment experiences. - **Social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a social media platform focused on user-generated music videos and dance spoofs. - **Online Video:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a specialized online video platform for sharing and discovering user-generated music videos. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Milestone-Honoring Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-music-video.md) - [Virtual Music Video Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangershow.md) - [Motion-Powered Songs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motionpowered-song.md) - [Pizza-Themed Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucha-little.md) - [AI-Generated Rap Music Videos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-you-more.md) - [Music-Inspired Avatar Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-yourself-in-sound.md) - [Dreamy Dance-Centric Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-and-spike-jonze.md) - [Personalized Video Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-cards.md) - [Smartphone-Shot Festive Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-made-a-mixtape-for-you.md)
