TikToker mortified after Gen Z-er tells him this dance move makes him look old

A TikToker has been left shocked after finding out his dance moves were “giving away” his age after getting called out while clubbing.

A night out clubbing and dancing the night away is a great opportunity for many to let loose, test out some new moves, and feel the music.

But according to Gen Z, there are some unspoken rules to follow for those looking to get out on the dance floor.

One TikToker found this out after dancing with a girl at the club only for her to claim his moves were “giving away” how “old” he was.

Gus, who goes by ‘goodforthegooch’ on TikTok, posted a video in which he recounted how a night out dancing resulted in a brutal reality check.

“I was dancing at the club last night with this girl and she was like, ‘You know what’s giving away your age?… You keep putting your hands up,’’ Gus said.

Following her comment, Gus said he continued to keep dancing the same without realizing it, resulting in her telling him to stop; “She like put my arms down and I was like, ‘I’m too old to be in this club.”

Gus was told his dance moves were outdated and showed his “old” age.

Viewers were shocked by the dance rules Gen Z was seemingly adopting, with one person writing, “What I noticed in [this] generation [is] they don’t seem to be having fun when they dance… we had fun not caring what people saw!”

Another said, “Imagine feeling the music through your body, happily and someone says to change your dancing style bc you’re showing your age?? Nooo!”

Many encouraged Gus to ignore the advice he’d been offered at the club, telling him instead to “Live freely, raise those hands baby.”

“We were literally instructed to put our hands in the air like we just don’t care. It’s our legacy.”
