  • (spectators cheering wildly)

  • - That's a cool dance.

  • - He's good. He's actually really good.

  • - That's so cool.

  • (chuckling) If only.

  • - I wish I could dance like them.

  • - Some of them were pretty good, but some of them were kind of weird,

  • maybe a little bit cringy.

  • - I liked the ones where they did something that I can't do,

  • which is like doing back flips.

  • See, that's cool, but the others are just...

  • It doesn't take much skill to dab.

  • - (children) Question time!

  • - (FBE) All right, so, these were all videos

  • from compilations called "Kids Are Lit." - Kids are lit!

  • Yeah, they are.

  • - Oh, yeah, I've heard of that.

  • - Kids are lit? Lit?

  • Why can't I be lit?

  • - (FBE) Is this something you've heard of before?

  • - Never, actually.

  • I'm really outdated in social media.

  • - I haven't heard of this before, but now that I have heard of it,

  • I wish I hadn't.

  • - Yes, I have.

  • - I saw it on the internet.

  • - It's all over Instagram, but my friends just do it on Snapchat.

  • - No, but yesterday I was in the car with my mom.

  • She was like, "What's 'lit' mean?"

  • - (FBE) What does the word "lit" even mean?

  • - I don't know, but I'm guessing it's something good, I guess.

  • - I don't know what lit means, actually,

  • but I think it means cool.

  • - Cool, hip.

  • - Like legit. Like you're awesome.

  • - You might say a party is lit, meaning it's super fun,

  • super energetic, like great vibes.

  • I use this word actually a lot. (laughing)

  • - I knew, back in the day, it meant if you were stoned or drunk.

  • And these kids are just using these words like it's nothing

  • and they're just like, "That's so lit!"

  • Are you-- are you stoned?

  • - (FBE) So these compilations get made, seemingly because people

  • think some kids are just awesome at dancing,

  • sometimes better than adults.

  • Why do you think that impresses people so much

  • when a kid can do something like an adult?

  • - Because we're just kids.

  • Nobody has any respect for us.

  • - Because they're young.

  • They don't have much experience.

  • - Because they have, like, jobs and they do everything professional,

  • but when you see a kid doing it, you're like,

  • "Oh my god, it's a new prodigy."

  • - I know where they're coming from.

  • They think it's cool that kids can do this,

  • but it's not cool if every single kid can dab.

  • - It doesn't impress me because we all know

  • kids can do the same as adults,

  • and adults can do the same as kids.

  • Nothing in the world's impossible to do.

  • - (FBE) Aww! - (kid) Cute!

  • - (FBE) There are some people who think that some of the songs

  • the kids dance to and some of the dances

  • that they're doing are not appropriate for kids of that age.

  • What do you think?

  • -Yeah, they're right.

  • When you do this stuff, they're like... they're working their body and stuff.

  • Why are kids doing this exactly?

  • It's inappropriate.

  • - It doesn't really matter to me so much,

  • but I don't want to see it.

  • -Their parents should at least monitor what kids are doing

  • because some of them are getting cyberbullied

  • and some of them are watching things way to inappropriate

  • for their age group.

  • - (FBE) What do you think when your parents or older people

  • tell you that what you're listening to, or even what you're doing,

  • is inappropriate. - I'll be ashamed.

  • Because I don't want to listen to bad things.

  • - You just have to listen to them because they are your elders

  • and you should respect them.

  • - Parents know best, so kids, listen to your parents.

  • - I don't really care.

  • It's like, I still do well in school.

  • I'm not trying to do anything bad.

  • I'm just listening to songs with catchy beats.

  • - I listen to a lot of music with profanity.

  • My parents and some old people don't tell me,

  • "Oh, stop listening to that."

  • They tell me it has a bad meaning, and I understand that,

  • but when a voice matches a beat behind it and that's what good music is.
