What the creator pretty much did in this remix was take UGC and completely different songs and merged it into some sort of dance battle. The music was so well synchronized to the dancers' movements in the remix, that I didn't expect there to be originals until the second time around that I watched it. In the remix not only was the message and content contorted, but the audio served to create something original rather than just copying the original videos into one video. The intention of the remix-er was to compare "tecktonik" and "shuffle" dance styles and probably spark an argument. It's a purpose unlike the original creators', who probably made the video to display their moves to the world. The remix-er alone (or not so alone) created something that had a significant higher number of views than the original videos had, meaning it was far more successful than the originals.
In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.
