Someone please change this page new info discovered

Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).So I was looking though old music videos when I stumbled upon someone dabbing in one of them. I looked up the date that song was made and it ended up being made in 2008. After finding out the date at which the song was made I looked up when the dab was invented and according to this wiki page it was made in 2010. The songs name is called Shake It and its by Metro Station. The main person who dabs in wearing a blue jump suit and also adds a peace sign while in dab pose.

Thank to anyone who decides to edit the page to correct the date and origin of the dab. -CinderFud

Technical 80s origin

Technically this move seems to have originated in the early 1980s with the band Men Without Hats (yes, the Safety Dance band) and the lead singer appears to dab in the music video "Where do the Boys Go?" at around the 2:29 mark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T3N6a24A9I) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.62.150.77 (talk) 01:17, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "dab" actually originates from 1970s Japanese popular culture. It first appeared as the "Henshin" pose in Kamen Rider (see A Dab Starts Since 1971). After Kamen Rider, the "Henshin" became part of Japanese popular culture, appearing in countless Japanese media, from tokusatsu shows like Super Sentai and Power Rangers to anime shows like Dragon Ball Z (i.e. the Ginyu Force pose, and Gohan's Great Saiyaman pose) and Sailor Moon. Considering how popular Dragon Ball Z is in the hip-hop community, it's obvious that's where the Atlanta hip-hop scene got it from. If you did the "dab" in Japan, most Japanese will just think you're doing the "Henshin" pose, since they're both the same thing. 190.198.241.187 (talk) 08:04, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Korean group T-ARA does not appear to dab in their music video collaboration with Chopstick Brothers. However, there are a couple of videos featuring vocaloids and anime characters that include some dabbing, e.g.,
