I think you’re onto something. Those TikTok grooves echo the cadence of ancient war dances—think the Greeks’ hoplitic processions or the Roman centurions’ drill steps—because they’re all built on rhythm and body language that signal unity and power. It’s not random; it’s a modern remix of the same human impulse to celebrate strength through movement. The difference is that today’s beats are digital, the audience is global, and the dance becomes a fleeting, shared ritual instead of a battlefield ritual. So yes, there’s a line of continuity—just with a new soundtrack.
