A GESTURE, A DANCE OR A SYMBOLIC MESSAGE WHAT IS THE DAB?

The dab first became popular with the basketball player Dee Brown in 1991. In fact, this player from the Boston Celtics team was the earliest to realize this move, which was called the no-look dunk at the time during the NBA Slam dunk contest in 1991.

However, according to some people, the dab comes from Atlanta, the hip-hop scene, and can also be seen as a reference to Dragon Ball Z's The Ginyu Force, despite some controversy.

 

The dab movement is now so popular that it is a move that everyone is familiar with, at least those who are interested in the most recent fashion trends. That trick has reappeared in America in a group of RAP (Migos), this two-armed gesture is now a worldwide tendency.

We can use the dab as a signal, for example, "We are magic", "we are in solidarity", or to share an emotion. No matter what, this gesture of the arm has become a standard and continues to be displayed regularly on-screen.

 

WHAT ABOUT THE DAB UNICORN? 

It can be seen that the style of the dabbing unicorn is actually more recent than the dab itself. Currently, this movement has been popularized by unicorn fans and then by clothing designers. Now, to see so many unicorns making this gesture on t-shirts or other dab accessories is absolutely wonderful!

 

What's that for? Firstly because of the effect of the mythical animal on our hearts, and secondly because of the joy and pleasure it generates. Indeed, who wouldn't be happy to have a unicorn with a rainbow mane, with a twisted horn printed on his hoodie or on a sweater representing the legendary horse!

It's nothing new, wearing a unicorn shirt is magical. After all, beyond the casual aspect of this outfit, it helps us to be pure and light. What's the reason? Because the white horse with the distinctive pearly horn is a symbol of purity in many cultures.

 

I'M A UNICORN I DO WHAT I WANT, EVEN DABBING

Men like women, big like small, putting on unicorn onesies creates a special feeling in us. 

It's not difficult to guess the reason, indeed, this horse is universal, and all morphologies are adapted to it.

We can mention for example the Pegasus, the unicorn, or other animals whose morphology is similar to that of our favorite horse.

This explains why the expression "I do what I want, I'm a unicorn" is so popular.

 

 

Dabbing unicorns are amazing, there are several reasons for this:

✔️ First of all, because this being is special, it gives us the feeling of being unique and distinguishes us from the rest of the herd! "Be a unicorn in a field of horses"

 

From a symbolic point of view, the unicorn dab can change the nature of any person. Its bright pastel colors attract everyone's attention, the legendary mount gives us superpowers worthy of the greatest fairy tales. If the unicorn's clothes are so appreciated, it is not by chance.

✔️ Let's add that this perfectly symbolizes the chic and distinguished side that exists in each of us and that these clothes are pleasant to wear.

 

Who doesn't like to have fun when they can? Since our earliest childhood, we have been captivated by fun things; we like to play big games with enchanted things. To justify the animal instincts we allow to express themselves, answering "I'm a unicorn!" is easy and funny.

Who can blame those who like to pretend to be a unicorn?  No one! As long as our wardrobe has accessories of that special creature in it, we can do as we wish!

 

✔️ In conclusion, because turning into a mythical horse is the goal of a lifetime...

 

Despite the fact that the unicorn is a ubiquitous and beloved animal, the dabbing unicorn is not as widespread as we might think. Actually, only fans of the legendary horse have appropriated this emblem to themselves. Therefore, there is nothing better than wearing a dabbing unicorn print to show its uniqueness. This way, you can assert yourself while remaining free, unique and trendy!

Everyone will want to follow your unique clothing style. You will inspire your friends with your power of attraction!
