For an angry cannibal war dance it really is silly looking. I do like it when it's used to honor someone or something though. Kind of like a more energetic "thoughts and prayers."

Yea I’m sure when you’re about to fight to the death that might seem intimidating, but to the average person, dancing and singing is kinda corny.

RCarr posted:Yea I’m sure when you’re about to fight to the death that might seem intimidating, but to the average person, dancing and singing is kinda corny. A proper haka is shouted at absolute full volume, which can be crazy loud if you've got a group of trained folks doing it, and if you're not hitting yourself drat near hard enough to bruise, you're not doing it right. All Blacks performances often use sideline mics and you can still hear the packing sound of body hits over the shouting. It's not really about intimidating the other folks with how shouty you are, so much as it is whipping your own group up into a collective, barely-controlled frenzy. In full performances you occasionally get performers going rogue and barking or doing the eyes-wide-tongue-out face (Pūkana) in the middle of things before resuming the chant as normal. A good performance will be 100% unironic, which can come across as goofy if you're not in the right spot to experience it- which is right in front of it, ideally standing so that you can't easily put yourself into the mindset of this being a performance for your enjoyment. It's pretty effective in person, less effective sitting down and experiencing it through the protective distancing of a screen and speakers. E: Turns out there's a name for the eyes-wide-tongue-out face, neat! Added. Somfin has a new favorite as of 00:40 on Feb 18, 2020 |

It's also worth noting that the tongue out literally means "I am going to eat you"

All the teams in front of them are just bored and sick of it and thinking about something else until the show is over. Just like the national anthem before a baseball game or Trump lapping on Daytona.

I am not a sports person but I think I would feel cooler doing a haka than doing that stand in a circle with a hand in the center yelling "GO TEAM" thing.

I had the pleasure of helping film a Haka for a soap and yeah its 100x more powerful in person when you've got three 6'6" muscled dudes doing it in your face. Also according to the Kiwi director it's much more diverse in application than just "we angry". I think one of the things we struggle with in white western culture is earnest expressions of emotion, particularly in Australia, so we balk a bit at a bunch of guys going all out on one.

The haka is a traditional Maori cultural expression outside of warfare as well, so making fun of it ain't a good look. Or are you going to start cracking jokes about those silly red Indians and their rain dances?

The Ape of Naples posted:Neither is appropriating it for a Rugby match. Actually, in the context that it's used there it is a challenge. I think it's a great way of tying maori culture into our national teams. But please, continue. As was mentioned above it can have several different meanings - in the case of the funeral they are honoring the spirit of the fallen man.

Even if I didn’t like the haka, I wouldn’t say much about it because it means something to other people. I don’t make a habit of disparaging ceremonies like weddings, baptisms, and funerals.
