About

Dance Dance World Revolution is an avatar dance meme featuring anime characters dressed in the color schemes of different country flags. It began as a fan artist’s tribute to the anime series Hetalia: Axis Power on DeviantArt and spread to Youtube, where it reached an international status with contributions from all over the world.

Origin

On August 1st, 2009, DeviantART user Yuumei uploaded a fan flash video of an American-themed character from the anime Hetalia dancing to the looped version of “Positive Vibe” by a Newgrounds member NIGHTkilla. She also uploaded a copy on YouTube:

This is definitely a meme.

Here’s a related thread that won’t make any sense since most of the posts that were submitted to it have been BALEETED.

All you really need to do is fix up the article (i.e. Describe what the meme is about/Who made the first derivative?/etc.) and you’ll be fine.

I’ll be back to critique the article. Good luck with the research!

Also, you have to add the link to the tutorial into your article, @Mellow. Here it is so you don’t have to waste a couple of seconds doing it yourself: http://yuumei.deviantart.com/art/Dance-Dance-Meme-132741481
