Inexplicable loserdom

Could someone please explain to me why the Alicia Keys and Jay-Z’s song Empire State of Mind causes a large percentage of men to high five, hug and slap one another on the back as if they are engaged in some meaningful, emotional experience? In Farmington, Connecticut.

Or North Granby, Connecticut.

Or Plainville, Connecticut.

Or anywhere. Yes. Even in New York, this behavior is ridiculous.
