STOP shaking your Polaroid film 📸 #learningnewthings #polaroidphoto #polaroidcamera

Pretty sure the decades of shaking old Polaroids and practice that inspired the lyrics in the first place had a little more to do with the trend than 1 lyric

you used to have to wipe a chemical on it after it developed so it wouldn't fade to much. that's why people used to shake it

Shaking the Polaroid picture as an action that has been around longer than that has been a lyric.

The song was inspired by the trend of shaking a polaroid lmao not the other way round.

As someone alive before that song... That's NOT where the idea came from. Please look that kinda thing up before spreading the information like wildfire. Idk, maybe you're just rage baiting me.

Yeah yeah, camera or something

Forget the Polaroid something else be shaking rn🫪✌️

Modern integral Polaroid instant film doesn’t need to be shaken, correct. The shaking practice stems from Polaroid Pack film which hasn’t been produced for 1-2+ decades. Integral film is a self-contained packet where reagent chemical is spread across your exposed negatives where it then develops into a positive right there in the print. Pack film came before Integral film and used a similar process where reagent chemicals are squeezed across your print by rollers to develop. However, once developed the image didn’t appear on it’s own, you had to peel apart where the negative and the positive touched each other with chemicals inbetween. Once you peeled the film apart you’d have your negative, and your positive (your print). That positive still had a chemical goo on it that you’d need to dry off, either by shaking or air dry

May it.. stand unshaken. I'm surprised that many ppl got the reference. U guys know ball

Oh piss off. Polaroid shake is as old as me

funny story i was trying to take a picture of my dog with my mini instax camera and he moved right as i took the picture ruining the shot i was frustrated because the mini instax film is expensive and i was a child with basically zero allowance and i crinkled up the photo and threw it while it was still developing. it actually ended up looking really cool with weird discoloration and stuff but had that been a picture i wanted that would have sucked😂

In the pic of the shaken one I low-key though that it was a surfboard

She's cute

The lyric is actually referencing exactly what you're describing in your video. The songs deeper meaning is about rushing into love and how no one listens to the words. Hence the double entendre of shaking it (ass) worrying about sexual appeal but also rushing into a relationship, therefore ruining it. Like you're saying about the picture. So yes shaking the polaroid was around long before the lyric, and so was the knowledge that it would ruin the photo.

Dayum

U da real polaroid

That’s actually a common phrase in many songs. Like house of memories.

"yeah yeah polaroid or something"

That was something that was done way before Outkast's song

Hehehe Uahau
