I don't mean to derail the specific "Carlton dance" narrative, but whilst playing Black Ops 4, one of the new unlockable dance moves is the Jean Claude Van Damme dance sequence from the movie Kickboxer, and my first thought was if they had gotten the permission to use that, thus, how my mind associates certain things with general pop culture. In saying that, I don't know the modern day law interpretation of these things, but I think it's a very interesting topic for sure, and I am interested to see where it goes.
Also, just for clarification, help this middle aged gamer out... Backpack kid, as far as I can piece together, is a kid wearing a backpack in a Katy Perry video coming out and doing a dance called the floss, right?
