[@barty2381]

Well you gave us House Music, salute!!

[@BC-np8cb]

Why can't there be something like this in every city now? Seriously, it pains me that it is so hard to find places where people are just openly into the shear joy of freestyle community dance like this.

[@kaydavis2828]

My dad was born in 61 and he said he discovered “numbers” in the club. I see how now. This song goesss

[@rozchristopherson648]

I was born in 1961. From Pennsylvania. Went to University of Michigan. That's how I watched this show.

[@RobertFantinatto]

Those beats are yet to be surpassed.

[@gladysthegroovymule3411]

I love the collective “nooo!!” at the end when the beat stops lol

[@Gyrbae]

They very last guy who was about to hit the dancefloor looked really bummed, like he waited the whole night to bust some moves to Kraftwerk.

[@mariahceleste93]

Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht!

[@juniorsandoval9624]

I try any of these dance moves nowadays I will end up throwing out my back and begging my doc for Norco for the rest of the year!!

[@LiveANoursishedLife]

I grew up watching this show. It used to be called The Scene and after the org host left they changed the name to this.

[@Conn30Mtenor]

Some of these folks are grandparents now....

[@pamelannama8322]

DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ DETROIT‼️ KEEP‼️ GOING‼️

[@LeicaM11]

I did not know,this happened in Detroit because of Kraftwerk‘s innovative music, when I was a highschool teenager back in 1981.😂 I knew later, for sure, cause I also became a great Techno and Trance lover in the Berlin of 1993-1997, visiting the Dance Clubs like Tresor and Matrix, Pleasuredome and so on.

[@Jacquityus]

Nobody does it like Detroit!

[@stevefagetaboutit8158]

German meets American Ghetto. I love it!

[@lauraveney1412]

Do these young people looked like they are dressed as if they are from the ghetto. To me they look like middle to working class youth dancing. Stop stereotyping

[@I_be_e]

Ghetto? Why are they ghetto as you say? Kick rocks outta here you racist 🤡

[@musonchick]

[@jordanpipkorn6985]

you’ve GAT to BeReal

[@iamyourfuture808]

were the dancers actually listening to the same track? dancing is totally inappropriate to this track.

[@ethanhill9460]

Bill Gates approves.

[@illegalquantity]

They actually didn't dance, they were just moving. Everyone can do this that way.

[@ryrythefryguy4645]

uhh, they were doing the soul train line. its not that easy to dance and walk at the same time. you try it.

[@lauraveney1412]

They are dancing

[@theflyingblock121]

do they not realise that Kraftwerk’s music is not supposed to be uplifting??

[@phillytnoize]

The beat is funky tho.

[@bysbox1]

That beat was played in so many skating rinks and break dancing floors since 1981. TBH I don’t think Kraftwerk wouldn’t be where they are if it weren’t for black radio. I remember hearing Numbers and Trans Europe Express on WBLS in NYC first.

[@angelika87]

oh please. the only people enjoying music like this in USA were black people back when most americans were too good for electronic music.

[@gladysthegroovymule3411]

I’m sorry but whaaaat?!! To me one of Kraftwerk’s main things was about finding the beauty in the everyday and mundane! How about Autobahn, which is basically about the joy of connecting with the machinery of a car while driving down the highway on a sunny day? Or Trans Europe Express, which uses the European railways as a metaphor for international unity and a new culture as Germany arose from the ashes of WWII? Or Tour de France, which is about the joys of riding a god damn bike?? Kraftwerk’s whole “cold and robotic” thing has always been part of their image and sound, but there’s so much more beyond the surface that makes them truly special. To me they will always evoke a sense of wonder and optimism about the world.

[@RodrickColbert]

My personal opinion is that the use of Kraftwerk's music added the element of anticipation to popular dance music. The dance music elements shift in complexity in a way that excites the mind, IMO. This is very different from say, James Brown's music which created funk which started on the "One" and had a more predictable flow.
