Blippi (real name ) launched his YouTube channel in 2014 — after the Harlem Shake peaked. However, early Blippi content had a much rougher, self-produced, occasionally bizarre edge. Some longtime fans claim there was a short, unlisted or deleted video titled something like “Blippi Does the Harlem Shake” featuring Stevin in his signature outfit, dancing alone in a warehouse or playroom before a chaotic cut.
