Was this the first documented dab in the mid-20th century?
Many people believe this picture of sailors dabbing is a photo from history. However, dabbing only became a phenomenon in the 2010s, originating in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene. It became a form of celebration during football games after footballers dabbed to celebrate their win.
Still, this picture convinced people that the first dab in history happened in the mid-20th century. However, this picture is only a behind-the-scenes moment of the 2017 film Dunkirk. It hurts, but we’ve got to say it: this picture is anything but historical.
